Principlev1
Design information routing with redundant paths for critical
Design information routing with redundant paths for critical information, because single-path routing creates vulnerability to individual absence or channel failure.
Why This Is a Principle
This principle derives from unreliable memory under stress (Human memory under stress and cognitive load is unreliable) and Swiss cheese model showing failures align through defensive layers (Catastrophic failures in complex systems rarely result from). It prescribes redundant routing based on the foundational constraint that single points of failure will eventually fail.
