When stating boundaries, eliminate justifications beyond the minimal necessary to avoid providing material for negotiation and to avoid signaling that the boundary requires permission.
Why This Is a Principle
Derives from goals functioning as perceptual filters (Goals as Perceptual Filters) and single-model reasoning (Mental Models Are Singular by Default). Over-explanation provides alternative interpretive frames that shift focus from the boundary itself to the justifications, which can then be disputed. This principle prescribes minimal justification to maintain clarity of the boundary as the primary object.
