B.5.2.1:7 - Cognitive Load & Kernel Growth Budget

For engineers/managers (user cognitive load).

  • Added steps: selecting descriptor Characteristics & granularity; reading a Pareto table (non‑statisticians tip: scan the “front” row; ignore dominated rows).
  • Mitigations: provide a one‑screen “NQD Cards” template analogous to RSG cards; default grids and metrics per Context. (Keep ≤ 7 visible Characteristics—mirrors RSG human‑scale guidance.)
  • Reader quickstart (engineer‑manager): (1) Pick 2–3 Q characteristics aligned to the anomaly + a simple CharacteristicSpace (2–4 dimensions). (2) Accept defaults for NoveltyMetric, grid granularity, and K=1. (3) Run NQD‑Generate to a fixed budget; read the front row first. (4) Apply Step 3 filters; log decisions in the DRR.

For the framework (kernel growth).

  • Zero new primitives; only a CHR import and a Method. Passes A.11 minimal‑sufficiency.
