Principlev1

Distinguish structural dependencies (Agent B cannot run

Distinguish structural dependencies (Agent B cannot run without Agent A's output) from accidental dependencies (Agent B follows Agent A by habit) and eliminate accidental dependencies to increase parallelism.

Why This Is a Principle

This derives from Habits as Context-Response Associations (habits form from context-behavior-reward), The behavior of a system arises from its structure, not from (structure determines behavior), and Average cycle time equals work-in-progress divided by (cycle time = WIP/throughput). It prescribes analyzing whether dependencies are real or artifactual to optimize system throughput. General systems optimization principle.
