Principlev1
When identity and behavior diverge, consciously register
When identity and behavior diverge, consciously register each identity-consistent behavior as a vote for the updated narrative rather than waiting for the self-perception system to passively accumulate evidence.
Why This Is a Principle
This principle follows from Cognitive Defusion: Thoughts Are Objects (thoughts as objects), You can design your own cognitive processes rather than (designing cognitive processes), and Human beings construct identity through ongoing narrative (narrative identity). It prescribes active evidence registration to accelerate identity updating. The principle is actionable (consciously note consistent behaviors) and applies to any identity change process.
