Principlev1
Integrate new knowledge immediately through connecting it to
Integrate new knowledge immediately through connecting it to existing nodes rather than accumulating unprocessed material, because the integration act forces retrieval and spaced repetition of surrounding concepts.
Why This Is a Principle
Derives from Exponential Information Decay (exponential decay), Generative Externalization (externalization is generative), and Encoding Depth Determines Retention (encoding depth determines retention). The principle prescribes immediate connection over batching. It's actionable and addresses a common failure mode.
