Weighted decision matrices externalize priority structures…
Weighted decision matrices externalize priority structures for examination rather than automating decisions, converting opaque intuitive averaging into transparent, auditable trade-off analysis.
Why This Is a Principle
Grounds in Working Memory Capacity Limit (working memory limitations on multi-dimensional comparison), Externalization Exposes Hidden Structure (externalization exposes gaps), Generative Externalization (externalization as generative), and Illusion of Explanatory Depth (self-assessment unreliability). Prescribes externalization as inspection tool; derived from memory constraints and metacognition.
