Principlev1
Design micro-chain final links to produce one minimal unit
Design micro-chain final links to produce one minimal unit of output rather than complete work, because crossing the threshold from consumption to production changes psychological state and the micro-chain's function is initiation, not completion.
Why This Is a Principle
Derives from Behavior requires an initiating signal to occur at a (initiating signals), Humans discount future rewards hyperbolically rather than (temporal discounting), and Dopamine neurons encode prediction error rather than (dopamine encodes prediction error—starting produces error signal). This principle prescribes terminal link design for micro-chains specifically.
