Principlev1
Design commitments with recovery protocols built in from the
Design commitments with recovery protocols built in from the start, because failure is a structural feature of commitment systems, not an exceptional event.
Why This Is a Principle
This principle derives from Human memory under stress and cognitive load is unreliable (memory under stress/load is unreliable), The performance of an agent is bounded by the accuracy of (bounded by world model accuracy), and Every system is perfectly designed to get the results it (systems get the results they're designed for). It prescribes proactive system design that anticipates failure rather than treating it as exceptional. The actionable guidance is to build recovery mechanisms into initial commitment architecture.
