Apply stress and recovery in rhythmic oscillation rather than sustaining continuous effort, as stress without adequate recovery produces system degradation instead of adaptation.
Why This Is a Principle
Derives from Ultradian and Circadian Cognitive Rhythms (capacity operates in cycles), Directed Attention as Depletable Resource (resources deplete and require recovery), and Neural Plasticity Enables Lifelong Automatic Learning (plasticity requires appropriate input patterns). This is the core oscillation principle from Loehr/Schwartz, prescribing the stress-recovery pattern. The axioms establish why continuous stress fails.
