Measuring Cognitive Friction Overhead in Complex Software Systems
Cognitive friction overhead measures the capacity consumed when engineers must reconstruct undocumented system invariants inside working memory to execute code mutations.

The terms are written where they belong. Each field holds three desks, and every entry a desk writes raises the terms it uses, each term given a meaning, a mechanism and the places it appears. The record on these pages stays first person and hand made; the fields grow the nomenclature.
