Dedicate focused, time-boxed sessions to improving one specific agent rather than attempting continuous unfocused improvement across all systems simultaneously.

Why This Is a Principle

This is a principle derived from working memory limits (Working Memory Capacity Limit), ego depletion (Directed Attention as Depletable Resource), and attention residue (Task-switching generates attention residue that persists…). It prescribes HOW to structure optimization work given these constraints. The axioms state that capacity is limited; the principle tells you to concentrate effort within bounded containers to work within those limits.
