Principlev1
Identify times when your typical problem is absent or less
Identify times when your typical problem is absent or less severe (exceptions), then extract the specific conditions that made those exceptions possible.
Why This Is a Principle
Derives from Schemas as Knowledge Organization Structures (schemas organize knowledge) and Mental Models Are Singular by Default (people construct single models). This principle prescribes exception-finding as a method to surface alternative schemas/models that already work but aren't generalized.
