Restate personal identity schemas as behavioral predictions…
Restate personal identity schemas as behavioral predictions with specified conditions to convert unfalsifiable beliefs into testable hypotheses.
Why This Is a Principle
Derives from Cognitive Defusion: Thoughts Are Objects (thoughts as separable objects), Externalization Exposes Hidden Structure (externalization exposes gaps), and Thoughts and behaviors can be separated from core identity… (thoughts separate from identity). This principle tells you HOW to transform common unfalsifiable schemas (like 'I am not a morning person') into testable form by changing the level of abstraction and separating identity from behavior.
