Principlev1
Separate medical expertise (clinical knowledge) from
Separate medical expertise (clinical knowledge) from decision authority (what happens to your body) by contributing body awareness, values, and context as equal inputs to health decisions.
Why This Is a Principle
Derives from trusting cognitive faculties as starting point (You necessarily trust your own cognitive faculties as a), sovereignty over one's thinking (No external entity has more right to direct your thinking), and the generative nature of externalization (Generative Externalization - bringing your knowledge to appointments is generative). This prescribes a partnership model for healthcare—a principle about maintaining sovereignty while respecting expertise.
