Principlev1
Build energy systems through sequential single-component
Build energy systems through sequential single-component automation rather than simultaneous multi-protocol installation, because system maintenance cost itself becomes an energy drain when complexity exceeds monitoring capacity.
Why This Is a Principle
Derives from working memory holding 3-5 items (Working Memory Capacity Limit—limiting simultaneous tracking capacity), habits forming through repeated behavior producing rewards (Habits as Context-Response Associations), and habit automaticity developing along logarithmic curves (Habit automaticity develops along a logarithmic curve —). The principle prescribes sequential rather than parallel system building—actionable implementation strategy that applies across habit formation contexts.
