Principlev1PR-1365
Allocate cognitive effort proportional to output half-life
invest minimal effort in outputs that matter for hours, moderate effort for outputs that matter for months, and maximum effort for outputs that matter for years.
Why This Is a Principle
This derives from hyperbolic discounting (Humans discount future rewards hyperbolically rather…) and bounded rationality (Human beings make decisions under conditions of incomplete…). The principle prescribes matching resource investment to temporal value rather than treating all outputs uniformly.
