Set partial boundaries rather than oscillating between
Set partial boundaries rather than oscillating between unlimited availability and total withdrawal—state specific capacity limits in real time instead of waiting for collapse.
Why This Is a Principle
Grounded in Directed Attention as Depletable Resource (resources deplete with use), Humans discount future rewards hyperbolically rather than (hyperbolic discounting), and Behavior follows the path of least resistance due to the (behavior follows path of least resistance). The principle prescribes graduated boundaries—preventing the all-or-nothing pattern by communicating partial capacity explicitly.
