Convert character development from trait cultivation to habit installation by practicing chosen responses under pressure until the deliberate override becomes the automatic default.
Why This Is a Principle
Grounded in Habits as Context-Response Associations (habits form through repeated behavior in stable contexts), Compiled Pattern Recognition Outpaces Rule-Following (pattern recognition compiled from experience operates faster than rule-following), and Habit automaticity develops along a logarithmic curve — (habit automaticity develops along logarithmic curve). This is a design principle for character that derives from understanding habit formation mechanics.
