KNOWLEDGE
Motivation and values
Motivation changes. Values, a plan and the environment can be more stable anchors.
KNOWLEDGE UNIVERSE
Habits and action
First steps, cues, if-then plans, environment, routines and values - small mechanisms instead of big declarations.
What you can do
- name why you are doing this
- connect the task to a value
- define the minimum completion
- make a small commitment
TOPIC DEPTH / SELF-OBSERVATION
From knowledge to self-observation
This layer organizes the existing topic rules. It does not add new claims or diagnoses.
How to observe
The minimum needed for meaningful self-observation.
Topic boundaries
- do not promise constant motivation
- the bot does not shame the user for lower motivation
Data limitations
- Conclusions from a small number of check-ins are hypotheses.
- User self-report may be incomplete or variable.
- The app observes patterns; it does not confirm causes.
Interpretation limitations
- Do not use this for diagnosis or treatment.
- Do not promise an outcome or health improvement.
- Do not strengthen wording beyond the current level of source verification.
- If the user describes a health risk or crisis, the safety router takes priority.
Source limitations
- Sources require manual verification before strong claims are allowed.
Use for education and self-observation, not diagnosis or treatment.
Suggest a small safe step and encourage observation rather than a radical change.
EVIDENCE LAYER
Sources and limitations
Sources and conclusions require cautious language. This is education and self-observation, not diagnosis or treatment.
