Identify childhood-origin patterns by the combination of three markers: disproportionality (response exceeds situation), speed (activation before conscious evaluation), and somatic intensity (primarily bodily rather than cognitive experience).
Why This Is a Principle
This derives from Environmental Installation of Early Schemas (early schemas installed by environmental input), Memory is reconstructive, not reproductive—humans rebuild (memory is reconstructive), Emotions manifest as physiological changes in the body (somatic markers occur before conscious experience), and Automaticity Without Conscious Control (automatic processes operate without awareness). The principle provides diagnostic criteria for distinguishing childhood-installed patterns from adult-learned ones.
