Principlev1
Combine qualitative observation logs with quantitative
Combine qualitative observation logs with quantitative tracking to provide both contextual narrative and structural pattern detection, as each compensates for the systematic blind spots of the other.
Why This Is a Principle
Derives from Dual Coding Theory: Verbal and Visual Channels (dual-channel information processing) and Meaning as Receiver Construction (meaning is constructed). The principle prescribes combining qualitative and quantitative data types to leverage complementary processing advantages.
