Invest maintenance effort disproportionately in weak ties…
Invest maintenance effort disproportionately in weak ties that bridge clusters, because they provide structural value but are most vulnerable to decay through neglect.
Why This Is a Principle
Follows from Dunbar's Number Limits Stable Relationships (relationship capacity limits), Exponential Information Decay (decay without rehearsal), and One regulated nervous system can co-regulate another… (weak ties bridge for novel information). Prescribes resource allocation strategy: maintain structurally valuable but vulnerable connections.
