Derives from Two-Level Metacognitive Architecture (metacognition has monitoring and control levels) and Automaticity Without Conscious Control (automatic processes operate without conscious control). This is a training principle that follows from the two-level structure of metacognition—it tells you how to practice attention based on how metacognition works. It's actionable, not itself foundational.
