Principlev1

Resist interpreting emotions during initial capture; record

Resist interpreting emotions during initial capture; record raw affective state and defer causal explanation to review when multiple entries enable pattern recognition.

Why This Is a Principle

This derives from Automatic Fusion of Observation and Interpretation (humans fuse observation with interpretation automatically) and Belief Perseverance Against Contradictory Evidence (cognitive systems maintain existing interpretive frameworks). The principle prescribes separating capture from interpretation to prevent premature rationalization that serves framework-preservation rather than insight.
