Calculate utilization rate by categorizing constraint time…
Calculate utilization rate by categorizing constraint time into productive processing versus waste categories (setup, interruption, input starvation, decision overhead, low-value processing), then eliminate waste categories in order of magnitude.
Why This Is a Principle
Derives from working memory limits (Working Memory Capacity Limit), decay rates (Exponential Information Decay), and finite cognitive resources (Directed Attention as Depletable Resource). This is a principle because it prescribes a specific operational procedure for maximizing constraint throughput that follows from these cognitive limits. It's not an axiom—it's an actionable method derived from multiple axioms.
