Deliberately choose what resolution you need…
Deliberately choose what resolution you need for your current purpose rather than attempting to maximize resolution across all dimensions, since cognitive resources are finite and higher resolution everywhere produces overload.
Why This Is a Principle
Derives from Working Memory Capacity Limit (working memory limited to 3-5 items) and Directed Attention as Depletable Resource (focused attention draws from finite resource). The principle prescribes purposeful resolution choice to work within resource constraints rather than attempting comprehensive high resolution.
