Externalize root assumptions as explicit, testable statements; trace which decisions inherit from each root to make dependency visible.
Why This Is a Principle
Derives from Cognitive Defusion: Thoughts Are Objects (thoughts are separable objects), Externalization Exposes Hidden Structure (externalization exposes gaps), and Demonstrative Knowledge Requires Indemonstrable Foundations (knowledge rests on indemonstrable first principles). Root concepts are the archai—making them explicit and tracing inheritance converts implicit foundational assumptions into auditable structure.
