Principlev1

Specify behavioral limits, their triggers, and enforcement

Specify behavioral limits, their triggers, and enforcement consequences explicitly to create functional boundaries rather than mere preferences.

Why This Is a Principle

Derives from Two-Level Metacognitive Architecture (metacognition as monitoring and regulation) and Implementation intentions (if-then plans) significantly (implementation intentions increase goal attainment). The principle prescribes the three-component boundary structure (behavior, limit, consequence) as the mechanism that makes boundaries operational rather than aspirational.
