Principlev1
Track the full cost of error correction including direct
Track the full cost of error correction including direct cost, opportunity cost, context-switching cost, and propagation cost, not just the visible effort of fixing.
Why This Is a Principle
This principle derives from Directed Attention as Depletable Resource (attention as metabolic resource with costs) and Task-switching generates attention residue that persists (task-switching generates attention residue). The principle prescribes comprehensive cost accounting for corrections, making visible the typically invisible resource drain. It follows from axioms about cognitive costs but is itself a prescription for measurement and decision-making, not a foundational truth.
