Principlev1
Rehearse emergency chains monthly even when not needed,
Rehearse emergency chains monthly even when not needed, because infrequently-run sequences remain fragile unless the basal ganglia encode them through deliberate practice.
Why This Is a Principle
Derives from Exponential Information Decay (unrehearsed information decays exponentially), Mental rehearsal activates the same neural circuits used (mental rehearsal activates same circuits as execution), and The brain maintains distinct memory systems for declarative (procedural memory systems in basal ganglia). The principle prescribes regular rehearsal to prevent decay of infrequently-used sequences. Highly actionable with clear timing guidance.
