Principlev1
Route work to the appropriate agent—human, system, tool, or
Route work to the appropriate agent—human, system, tool, or environment—based on who can handle it at equivalent or better quality rather than defaulting to personal execution.
Why This Is a Principle
Derives from Extended Cognition Thesis (distributed cognition), Agents are systems defined by perceiving their environment (agents perceive and act), and Expertise as Domain-Specific Schema Organization (expertise is domain-specific). The principle prescribes agent-appropriate routing rather than ego-based task ownership. Actionable and general across contexts.
