Identify the essential function each routine serves…
Identify the essential function each routine serves and design minimum viable versions that preserve that function with minimal infrastructure, rather than compressing the same activities into less time.
Why This Is a Principle
Derives from Abstraction Necessarily Discards Information (abstraction retains relevant features), Hierarchical Chunking Expands Capacity (chunking allows functional units), and Agents are systems defined by perceiving their environment… (agents defined by perceiving and acting toward goals). The principle prescribes functional rather than temporal compression, which follows from understanding that routines serve functions, not durations. Highly actionable and general across routine types.
