Principlev1
Pre-design and test minimum viable routines during periods
Pre-design and test minimum viable routines during periods of abundant cognitive resources, as depleted capacity during disruption prevents effective real-time adaptation.
Why This Is a Principle
Strongly grounded in Directed Attention as Depletable Resource (cognitive resources deplete under stress), Conscious Processing Is Metabolically Expensive (deliberation is metabolically expensive), and Human beings make decisions under conditions of incomplete (bounded rationality under constraints). The principle prescribes timing of design work specifically because disruption attacks the resources needed for design. Clear, actionable, broadly applicable.
