Deliberately seek interpretations from positions that differ

Deliberately seek interpretations from positions that differ along dimensions of perspective, heuristic, or predictive model to surface information your position structurally cannot access.

Why This Is a Principle

Derives from Goals as Perceptual Filters (goals as perceptual filters), Attention as Gate to Conscious Perception (selective attention creates blindness), and Perception as Predictive Construction (perception as prediction). The principle prescribes HOW to compensate for these axioms—by actively collecting different viewpoints. It's actionable (tells you what to do), general (applies across domains), and clearly derived rather than foundational.
