Principlev1
Curate notification environments by disabling all
Curate notification environments by disabling all non-behavioral triggers to prevent attentional competition from degrading intentional trigger effectiveness.
Why This Is a Principle
This principle follows from attention being capacity-limited (Attention as Gate to Conscious Perception), task-switching creating attention residue (Task-switching generates attention residue that persists), and information creating attention poverty (Information and attention have an inverse relationship: a). It prescribes aggressive subtraction as a curation strategy. The alert fatigue research demonstrates this is a general principle across human and AI systems.
