Principlev1
Re-ground abstractions periodically with fresh concrete
Re-ground abstractions periodically with fresh concrete examples from recent experience to prevent drift between symbols and referents.
Why This Is a Principle
This principle follows from axioms about memory decay (Exponential Information Decay) and reconstructive memory (Memory is reconstructive, not reproductive—humans rebuild). It prescribes ongoing maintenance rather than one-time grounding. The protocol section treats this as scheduled maintenance.
