Maintain competing schemas for the same domain to counteract
Maintain competing schemas for the same domain to counteract confirmation bias, since single schemas automatically classify contradictory evidence as noise before conscious evaluation.
Why This Is a Principle
Derives from Automatic Narrative Generation Precedes Conscious Evaluation (automatic causal narratives before evaluation), Belief Perseverance Against Contradictory Evidence (systems maintain existing beliefs), and Mental Models Are Singular by Default (people construct single mental models). This prescribes deliberately holding alternative frameworks to make different evidence visible. It's prescriptive and actionable—tells you what to do about schema-driven filtering.
