Allocate attention to agents based on lifecycle stage rather
Allocate attention to agents based on lifecycle stage rather than salience, because deployment-stage agents need calibration attention while mature agents need minimal monitoring.
Why This Is a Principle
Grounds in Directed Attention as Depletable Resource (finite attention), Two-Level Metacognitive Architecture (metacognition monitors and regulates), and Attention is a finite cognitive resource that must… (attention is finite and must be allocated). The principle derives stage-based allocation from capacity constraints and metacognitive monitoring. Prescriptive and actionable.
