Externalize trigger-behavior observations across multiple instances before attempting pattern intervention, as pattern recognition from within a single episode lacks the temporal distance necessary for accurate causal inference.
Why This Is a Principle
This derives from Generative Externalization (externalization produces new understanding) and Externalization Exposes Hidden Structure (externalizing exposes gaps in reasoning). The principle prescribes systematic observation before intervention, following from axioms about how externalization changes cognitive processing.
