Treat digital workspace design as cognitive architecture…
Treat digital workspace design as cognitive architecture decisions rather than tool preferences, because different tools afford fundamentally different types of thinking through their structural properties.
Why This Is a Principle
Grounds to Extended Cognition Thesis (extended cognition), Linguistic Structuring of Thought (language structures thought), Schemas as Knowledge Organization Structures (schemas organize knowledge and guide processing), and Structural Correspondence in Mental Models (mental models have structural correspondence to reality). The principle prescribes choosing tools based on the cognitive operations they enable rather than surface preferences. A graph database affords different thinking than hierarchical folders.
