Principlev1
When identity and purpose fall out of alignment, intervene
When identity and purpose fall out of alignment, intervene in either direction—change identity through new actions or change purpose to match evolved identity—rather than maintaining misalignment through willpower.
Why This Is a Principle
This derives from Human beings construct identity through ongoing narrative (identity constructed through narrative processes) and Identity and purpose exist in a bidirectional causal (identity and purpose in bidirectional causal relationship). The principle prescribes working with the bidirectional loop rather than fighting it, and choosing which side to modify based on context.
