Principlev1
Verify the long-term trajectory of a reinforcing loop before
Verify the long-term trajectory of a reinforcing loop before investing in acceleration, as amplification is indifferent to whether outcomes are beneficial or harmful.
Why This Is a Principle
Derives from People interpret failure as either evidence about their (interpretation of outcomes predicts different trajectories) and Learning occurs when outcomes differ from predictions, (learning requires questioning framework). The principle prescribes evaluation before acceleration - a reinforcing loop compounds in whatever direction it runs.
