Track override frequency as diagnostic data—when multiple children override the same parent property, restructure the hierarchy rather than accumulating exceptions.
Why This Is a Principle
Derives from Piagetian Equilibration Through Schema Dynamics (equilibration resolves schema-experience tension through accommodation) and Every system is perfectly designed to get the results… (system design produces the results it gets). This prescribes using override patterns as a signal for when accommodation (hierarchy restructuring) is needed. It's actionable (count overrides, restructure when clustered) and provides a clear threshold criterion.
