Default information access to open unless there is specific
Default information access to open unless there is specific justification for restriction, placing the burden of proof on closing information rather than sharing it.
Why This Is a Principle
Derives from Meaning as Receiver Construction (meaning constructed by receivers using their models), Common knowledge enables coordination without communication. (common knowledge enables coordination without communication), and Information and attention have an inverse relationship: a (information wealth creates attention poverty). The principle follows: if meaning requires context, common knowledge coordinates distributed action, and attention is scarce, then information should be broadly available by default so receivers can construct context-appropriate meaning, with selective filtering for attention management.
