Structure knowledge artifacts with progressive layers…
Structure knowledge artifacts with progressive layers of refinement where each layer demands increased cognitive engagement and produces sharper understanding.
Why This Is a Principle
Grounds in Generative Externalization (externalization is generative), Encoding Depth Determines Retention (encoding depth determines retention), and Externalization Exposes Hidden Structure (externalization exposes gaps). Prescribes multi-pass refinement as a design principle—progressive summarization or Zettelkasten stages. General and actionable.
