Break long dependency chains into shorter parallel paths…
Break long dependency chains into shorter parallel paths to prevent error propagation.
Why This Is a Principle
Derives from Hierarchical Chunking Expands Capacity (hierarchical organization with stable subsystems evolves faster) and Catastrophic failures in complex systems rarely result… (catastrophic failures result from alignment of multiple failures). This is a principle because it prescribes a design action (shorten chains, create parallel paths) that follows from the axiom about how errors cascade through coupled systems. It's not an axiom itself—it's derived guidance for system design.
