Monitor multi-week trends in baseline cognitive capacity rather than single-day performance to detect compounding deficits before they reach crisis threshold.
Why This Is a Principle
Grounded in biased memory of duration (Human memory of task duration is systematically biased…) and learning from prediction error (Learning occurs when outcomes differ from predictions… — you need a signal that current state differs from expected). The principle prescribes longitudinal tracking to detect drift. This is derived from axioms about measurement and learning, actionable (track Monday baselines across weeks), and general.
