Use regret minimization as a second-pass filter after
Use regret minimization as a second-pass filter after rigorous analysis stalls rather than as a replacement for analytical thinking, letting anticipated regret reveal values that expected-value calculations miss.
Why This Is a Principle
This principle derives from Emotions function as evaluative signals that provide (emotions as evaluative signals), Cognition Operates Through Dual Processing Systems (two systems), and The human brain treats the future self as neurologically (future self distinction). It prescribes when and how to apply regret-based reasoning within a broader decision architecture.
