Test value hierarchies under conditions that replicate the
Test value hierarchies under conditions that replicate the forces that cause failure—authority pressure, social conformity, depletion, time compression—to identify where your hierarchy is vulnerable.
Why This Is a Principle
Derives from ego depletion degrading executive function (Directed Attention as Depletable Resource), amygdala processing threats before conscious awareness (Subcortical Fast-Pathway Threat Processing), social presence increasing arousal (The mere presence of other people increases physiological), and prefrontal degradation under stress (Under acute stress, the prefrontal cortex degrades in). Prescribes simulation-based testing under realistic failure conditions. This is a principle for validation design, derived from axioms about cognitive vulnerability.
