Embed learning capacity into the system itself rather than holding it exclusively in your own practice, because systems that cannot generate new knowledge after you leave cannot adapt to changing environments.

Why This Is a Principle

Derives from Single-loop learning adjusts actions within existing… (double-loop learning questions the framework), The behavior of a system arises from its structure… (system behavior arises from structure), and Piagetian Equilibration Through Schema Dynamics (cognitive development through equilibration). It's a design principle for building adaptive systems that follows from understanding how learning operates at both individual and system levels. It's actionable and general, not context-specific.
