Externalize minimal markers during acute suffering (voice notes, brief entries) without attempting full processing, as these markers become invaluable data points for retrospective meaning-making when memory would otherwise distort the raw experience.
Why This Is a Principle
Grounded in Extended Cognition Thesis (cognitive processes can be distributed across external artifacts), Memory is reconstructive, not reproductive—humans rebuild… (memory is reconstructive not reproductive), and Exponential Information Decay (unrehearsed information decays exponentially). The principle prescribes creating external records during acute phases to serve future integration work, working with rather than against memory limitations.
