Reject new coordination mechanisms that exceed…
Reject new coordination mechanisms that exceed the coordination budget unless an existing mechanism is removed, treating coordination capacity as a zero-sum resource.
Why This Is a Principle
Derives from Directed Attention as Depletable Resource (attention is finite and depletes), The behavior of a system arises from its structure… (structure determines behavior), and Information and attention have an inverse relationship (information creates attention poverty). The principle: given finite coordination capacity, new mechanisms must displace old ones to prevent overhead creep. This is prescriptive budget enforcement.
