Track positive signal patterns across time to identify
Track positive signal patterns across time to identify values-in-action, as revealed preferences in joyful moments carry higher fidelity data about genuine values than abstract self-reported values lists.
Why This Is a Principle

The principle of tracking when joy actually fires to discover genuine values directly applies the axiom that behavior reveals truth more accurately than verbal report.
