Design environments to create friction asymmetry where desired behaviors become easier and competing behaviors become harder through strategic object placement.
Why This Is a Principle
This derives from behavior following least resistance (Behavior follows the path of least resistance due…), affordances in agent-environment relations (Action possibilities exist in the relationship between…), and choice framing influencing selection (There is no neutral way to present choices - every…). It prescribes simultaneous friction manipulation in opposite directions as a design strategy. The principle is actionable across physical and digital environments.
