Principlev1

Consistent moderate output compounds to exceed intermittent

Consistent moderate output compounds to exceed intermittent high output over time because consistency preserves context, momentum, and decision quality that volatility destroys.

Why This Is a Principle

This derives from Directed Attention as Depletable Resource (depletion requires recovery) and Average cycle time equals work-in-progress divided by (throughput is work-in-progress divided by cycle time). The principle translates the mathematics of compounding and queueing theory into a pace strategy.
