Pre-register evaluation criteria before running experiments…
Pre-register evaluation criteria before running experiments to prevent post-hoc rationalization from contaminating result interpretation.
Why This Is a Principle
Follows from Automatic Narrative Generation Precedes Conscious Evaluation (automatic narratives), Hindsight Bias and Calibration Necessity (memory reconstruction), and Belief Perseverance Against Contradictory Evidence (belief persistence). The principle prescribes pre-commitment to counter these biases. Not itself an axiom because it's a derived countermeasure.
