Principlev1
Use gradual restart protocols for disruptions lasting more
Use gradual restart protocols for disruptions lasting more than 5-7 days, because beyond that threshold habit automaticity decays measurably.
Why This Is a Principle
Follows from Habit automaticity develops along a logarithmic curve — (automaticity develops along logarithmic curve) and Habits as Context-Response Associations (habits require repetition in stable context). Prescribes which restart strategy to use based on the duration threshold where automaticity decay becomes significant.
