Place observations from different life domains side-by-side in external systems to create conditions for structural comparison that working memory cannot sustain.

Why This Is a Principle

Grounds in Working Memory Capacity Limit (working memory limits), Extended Cognition Thesis (distributed cognition), and Dual Coding Theory: Verbal and Visual Channels (dual coding with spatial relationships). Luhmann's Zettelkasten demonstrates the mechanism. This prescribes architectural solution to cognitive limits—external systems enable comparison.
