Design note titles to anticipate retrieval queries by

Design note titles to anticipate retrieval queries by matching the natural language your future self would use when searching for that concept.

Why This Is a Principle

Derives from Context-Dependent Memory Encoding (memory retrieval is context-dependent) and Meaning as Receiver Construction (meaning is constructed by receivers using their own models). Prescribes forward-thinking naming that anticipates future retrieval context. Actionable, general across knowledge systems, and grounded in retrieval mechanics.
