Make smaller adjustments and wait longer between them when operating in delayed-feedback systems to avoid amplifying oscillations through overcorrection.

Why This Is a Principle

Derives from The human mind is not adapted to interpreting how multi-loop (nonlinear feedback misperception) and The behavior of a system arises from its structure… (system structure determines behavior). The principle prescribes restraint in correction rate - larger and faster corrections amplify oscillation in delayed systems.
