Use structured questioning protocols to counteract memory reconstruction biases that distort unstructured reflection into self-serving narratives.

Why This Is a Principle

This principle derives from axioms about memory distortion (Hindsight Bias and Calibration Necessity: reconstruction shifts toward outcomes, Memory is reconstructive, not reproductive—humans rebuild…: memory reconstructs rather than retrieves). It prescribes why review structure matters: unstructured reflection allows biases to operate unchecked, while structured protocols force separation of observation from interpretation.
