## Definition

**Decision-making principles** are a person's own written set of guiding rules for how they make choices. In this channel's material they appear as one component of the **Codex Vitae** — a knowledge base of self-knowledge given to an AI personal coach so it can remind the person of _their own_ principles exactly when it is most helpful.[^367224da-ffda-58fc-a5a5-55381e01ef16@0]

In this channel, **decision-making principles** appear as one of the components Jonny Miller encodes into his **Codex Vitae** — a single knowledge base of self-knowledge he gives an AI so its coaching becomes *much more relevant and personalized*.[^367224da-ffda-58fc-a5a5-55381e01ef16@0]The codex collects the answers to the **most important questions about yourself**: your ideal weekly calendar, energetic black holes, reactivity triggers, burnout warning signs, biomarkers, biometrics, prior experiment results — and your **decision-making principles**.[^367224da-ffda-58fc-a5a5-55381e01ef16@0] The payoff is that the AI can **remind Jonny of his own principles** exactly when it is most helpful, and one small reminder can *totally change how you're thinking about something*.[^367224da-ffda-58fc-a5a5-55381e01ef16@0]- Decision-making principles are the written rules you use when making choices, kept alongside the rest of your self-knowledge.- In this material they live inside the **Codex Vitae** template, given to an AI personal coach.- Their purpose in use: the AI surfaces your own principles back to you at the moment of decision.
