Implement cognitive checkpointing by capturing the complete

Implement cognitive checkpointing by capturing the complete state of ongoing thinking at regular intervals to enable rollback without full reconstruction.

Why This Is a Principle

Derives from working memory limits (Working Memory Capacity Limit), decay (Exponential Information Decay), and the principle that undocumented knowledge degrades (Knowledge that exists only in tacit form degrades without). This translates engineering checkpoint concepts to cognitive work—clearly a derived principle, not foundational.
