Allocate cognitive surplus to exploring alternative…
Allocate cognitive surplus to exploring alternative frameworks when capacity is high, and exploit proven frameworks when capacity is constrained, rather than maintaining fixed exploration rates regardless of context.
Why This Is a Principle
Derived from Directed Attention as Depletable Resource (cognitive depletion), Every moment spent exploring is a moment not spent… (explore-exploit), and Scarcity of any resource consumes cognitive bandwidth… (scarcity consumes bandwidth). Prescribes adaptive exploration rate based on available cognitive resources.
