Task-switching generates attention residue that persists
Task-switching generates attention residue that persists after the switch and degrades performance on subsequent tasks.
Why This Is an Axiom
This is Sophie Leroy's empirical finding that the curriculum treats as foundational for understanding why singular focus matters. It describes a cognitive mechanism — not a preference, not a philosophical position, but a measurable effect of how human attention functions. This is irreducible empirical grounding.

Energy boundaries
Not all activities cost the same energy. Energy boundaries protect your capacity for high-value cognitive work from being drained by low-value obligations.
