Define explicit usefulness boundaries for each schema…

Define explicit usefulness boundaries for each schema specifying where it stops working and what alternative framework to switch to at those boundaries.

Derives from Goals as Perceptual Filters (goals define relevance) and Schemas as Knowledge Organization Structures (schemas guide information processing). The principle prescribes explicit boundary definition so you know when a schema's organizing structure is no longer appropriate for current goals.
