Batch processing: the cognitive infrastructure defense
Batch processing: the cognitive infrastructure defense strategy that accumulates interruptive items and processes them in dedicated time windows rather than handling each item as it arrives, thereby protecting cognitive depth and preventing attention residue
Why This Is a Definition
This definition precisely establishes the semantic boundary of 'batch processing' by identifying its genus (cognitive infrastructure defense strategy) and differentia (accumulating items, processing in dedicated windows, protecting cognitive depth, preventing attention residue). It distinguishes batch processing from continuous processing and explains the specific cognitive benefits, making it precise enough to distinguish from related concepts like continuous processing or task switching.
