Allocate correction resources to errors that exhaust budgets

Allocate correction resources to errors that exhaust budgets rather than distributing effort uniformly across all deviations.

Why This Is a Principle

Implicit throughout L-0485's error budget framework. Grounded in Directed Attention as Depletable Resource (cognitive resources finite and depletable), Scarcity of any resource consumes cognitive bandwidth… (scarcity consumes bandwidth), and Information and attention have an inverse relationship (attention scarcity). Prescribes strategic resource allocation.
