techniques-first-principles

Rebuild solutions from fundamental truths by stripping away conventions and reasoning up from basic constraints rather than analogy. Use when: (1) asked to reason from first principles, start from fundamentals, or rebuild from scratch, (2) justification is "industry standard" or "best practice" without explaining why, (3) conventions don't match actual constraints of the situation, (4) seeking novel approaches by challenging inherited assumptions through reconstruction.
