Principlev1
Periodically review accumulated journal entries to identify
Periodically review accumulated journal entries to identify patterns distributed across multiple timeframes that no single reflection session can reveal.
Why This Is a Principle
This principle derives from Exponential Information Decay (memory decay—single sessions cannot retain full corpus), Context-Dependent Memory Encoding (context-dependent retrieval—reviewing different entries provides different contexts), and Memory is reconstructive, not reproductive—humans rebuild (memory is reconstructive—patterns emerge through active reconstruction across entries). It prescribes a specific review practice that addresses cognitive limitations.
