Principlev1
Limit meeting attendance to only those who need to
Limit meeting attendance to only those who need to participate, because each additional person increases coordination costs and reduces individual accountability.
Why This Is a Principle
This principle derives from Hick-Hyman Law (Hick's Law of Choice Time) showing decision time increases with options/participants, and the axiom that communication channels scale as n(n-1)/2 (The number of unique communication channels in a team of n). It prescribes limiting group size based on the foundational constraint that larger groups impose exponentially higher coordination costs.
