Separate thoughts from identity by using language that marks
Separate thoughts from identity by using language that marks them as observable objects rather than self-definitions.
Why This Is a Principle
This derives from Cognitive Defusion: Thoughts Are Objects (thoughts can be separated from thinker identity) and Linguistic Structuring of Thought (language structures thought boundaries). It prescribes a specific linguistic practice ('I'm having a thought that...' rather than 'I am...') that operationalizes the axiom into actionable behavior. This is prescriptive and actionable, not merely descriptive.
