Principlev1
Break compound blockers into discrete,
Break compound blockers into discrete, independently-addressable components because the brain treats decomposed obstacles as more actionable than monolithic ones.
Why This Is a Principle
This derives from Working Memory Capacity Limit (working memory limits) and Hierarchical Chunking Expands Capacity (chunking allows treating hierarchical groups as single units). It's prescriptive—telling you to decompose compound problems—and applies across contexts. It's not an axiom because it's derived from the interaction of working memory constraints and hierarchical processing.
