Outcome. Treat energy, compute, data and infrastructure as a coherent whole — a genuine architectural and commercial opportunity, not an afterthought.
The problem
Cognitive and computational systems expend resources without accounting for them: structure proliferates, work is duplicated silently, and there is no principled basis for sufficiency.
How PCC addresses it
- An architectural accounting principle: minimise cognitive cost subject to adequate evidence handling, required coherence, constitutional integrity and task sufficiency.
- Compute, memory, network, latency, thermal and power measurements remain separately identified rather than blurred into a single figure.
Where this is today
This is a documented principle with bounded reference evidence. We do not publish efficiency or savings figures — any such figures will appear on the Evidence page only once measured and qualified. The commercial opportunity is real; the numbers must be earned.
