Use an AI system to surface your documented values and commitments during acute suffering, because pain impairs access to the very meaning structures that make pain bearable.
Why This Is a Principle
Derives from Extended Cognition Thesis (distributed cognition), Directed Attention as Depletable Resource (cognitive depletion), and Glucose-Cognition Dependency Threshold (glucose depletion impairs cognition). This is a specific design principle for cognitive infrastructure under extreme stress—it tells you to use external systems to compensate for internal system failure under load.
