Principlev1
Review accumulated notes in batches spanning weeks or months
Review accumulated notes in batches spanning weeks or months to detect emergent patterns invisible during real-time capture, because the temporal gap creates cognitive distance that allows new understanding to collide with original observations.
Why This Is a Principle
Derives from Generative Externalization (externalization generates new understanding), Conversational Memory Asymmetry From Production Planning (working memory splits during comprehension/production), and Externalization Exposes Hidden Structure (externalizing exposes gaps invisible internally). Prescribes temporal review as a method for seeing patterns that working memory constraints prevent in real-time.
