Externalize assumed relationships by writing them down with explicit entities, relationship type, and evidence basis, because implicit connections cannot be examined, tested, or corrected.
Why This Is a Principle
Derives from Generative Externalization (externalization is generative), Externalization Exposes Hidden Structure (externalization exposes gaps), and Knowledge that exists only in tacit form degrades without… (tacit knowledge degrades). This principle prescribes the act of making relationships explicit based on the axioms about externalization's cognitive effects. It specifies what to externalize (relationships) and why (to enable examination).
