# My Beliefs

This folder captures what you hold to be true. These are not facts — they are your current understanding of the world. They will evolve as you learn and grow.

The ZAM agent reads these beliefs to understand your perspective. When new evidence or insight challenges a belief, the agent will propose a change through conversation. You approve changes by committing them.

## Structure

Each subfolder holds a belief and decomposes it into at most 7 components (Miller's number). Follow the same pattern as the [core beliefs](https://github.com/zam-os/zam/tree/main/beliefs). Where a belief rests on a chosen, unprovable starting point, that ground belongs in [foundations](../foundations/) instead.

## Example

You might start with beliefs about your professional domain:

- **Software quality** — Readable code matters more than clever code.
- **Learning** — Spaced repetition is the most effective way to retain technical knowledge.
- **Collaboration** — Pair programming produces better results than solo work for complex problems.

Create a subfolder for each belief. Write a `README.md` that states the belief and decomposes it.
