Principlev1
Eliminate all decision points from micro-chains by
Eliminate all decision points from micro-chains by specifying exactly one successor for each link, because deliberation consumes the executive function that task initiation requires.
Why This Is a Principle
Derives from Directed Attention as Depletable Resource (executive function is finite), Cognition Operates Through Dual Processing Systems (System 2 is effortful), and Hick's Law of Choice Time (Hick-Hyman Law—decision time increases with options). The principle prescribes zero-branching design for micro-chains.
