Principlev1
Distinguish fear data (present threat) from anxiety data
Distinguish fear data (present threat) from anxiety data (future uncertainty) to match response to signal type—immediate action versus evaluation.
Why This Is a Principle
Derives from Subcortical Fast-Pathway Threat Processing (fast amygdala pathway) and Human lives unfold over time, requiring temporal integration (temporal integration required). The principle prescribes temporal categorization of threat signals to determine appropriate response. It's actionable and follows from axioms about threat processing timing.
