Principlev1

Use AI to compress the time required for logistical tasks

Use AI to compress the time required for logistical tasks while preserving human directed attention for judgment and synthesis rather than offloading the judgment itself.

Why This Is a Principle

Derives from finite executive function (Directed Attention as Depletable Resource) and the principle that agent performance is bounded by world model accuracy (The performance of an agent is bounded by the accuracy of). The principle prescribes a division of labor: AI handles logistics (freeing attention), human handles judgment (requiring accurate world models). Actionable and increasingly relevant.
