Simplify emotional filtering rules to 'release unless

Simplify emotional filtering rules to 'release unless clearly mine' under high cognitive load rather than attempting full evaluation, as partial filtering beats crashed filtering.

Why This Is a Principle

Grounded in Directed Attention as Depletable Resource (executive function depletes with sustained use), Conscious Processing Is Metabolically Expensive (deliberation consumes more resources than automatic processing), and As response speed increases, accuracy decreases along a (speed-accuracy tradeoff in biological systems). The principle prescribes adaptive rule simplification under load—preventing total system failure by accepting temporary precision loss.
