Material constraints (limited palette, fixed format,
Material constraints (limited palette, fixed format, restricted medium) force depth within boundaries rather than breadth across possibilities.
Why This Is a Principle
Derives from expertise changing perceptual chunks (Expertise Transforms Perceptual Chunking), expert development (Expertise Through Deliberate Practice), and chunking expanding capacity (Hierarchical Chunking Expands Capacity). Prescribes how to use material limits productively: they force skill development you'd avoid in unconstrained work.
