Inventory actual operating schemas revealed through behavior

Inventory actual operating schemas revealed through behavior rather than aspirational schemas that reflect desired self-image.

Why This Is a Principle

Grounded in Actual behavior reveals operative values more reliably… (behavior reveals operative values) and When espoused values and basic underlying assumptions… (basic assumptions trump espoused values). The principle prescribes tracking behaviorally-revealed schemas rather than stated beliefs—reality over aspiration.
