Measure error rates over time as system health indicators rather than treating individual errors as isolated moral failures requiring emotional response.

Why This Is a Principle

This principle derives from The behavior of a system arises from its structure… (system behavior from structure), Every system is perfectly designed to get the results… (systems designed for results), and A production system produces results; roughly 94%… (94% of problems are system problems). It prescribes treating errors as statistical signals about system design rather than individual failures. This shifts measurement and response patterns from individual to systemic level. It's actionable guidance derived from axioms about system behavior.
