Repeated false alarms reduce the response to genuine threats
Repeated false alarms reduce the response to genuine threats through psychological conditioning.
Why This Is an Axiom
This is an empirical finding from Breznitz's research on the psychology of false alarms. It describes a fundamental mechanism of how attention and trust degrade under noise, which cannot be derived from other axioms in the curriculum. This is the psychological foundation for why monitoring fatigue occurs.
Source Lessons

Monitoring fatigue
Too much monitoring data overwhelms attention and leads to ignoring signals that matter. The solution is not more data — it is fewer, sharper signals routed to the right layer of attention.
L-0429
Trigger sensitivity calibration
Too sensitive and the agent fires too often — too insensitive and it never fires.
