When two cognitive agents both claim authority over the same

When two cognitive agents both claim authority over the same resource or decision, treat the conflict as a structural architecture problem requiring scope redefinition rather than a personal discipline failure.

Why This Is a Principle

Grounded in The mind operates as multiple semi-autonomous processes… (multiple agents), Every system is perfectly designed to get the results… (systems designed for their results), and The behavior of a system arises from its structure… (behavior from structure). This principle prescribes reframing conflict from personal failing to system design, which is actionable and applies broadly to any multi-agent cognitive system.
