What Cognitive Load does

description: How much must an engineer hold in their head to change this unit? Measures the inward cost — files to read plus upstream exported surface — and names the units that never say where to start.

/cognitive-load

UPAC residue R3 (`vault/audits/upac/SYSTEM_OWNERSHIP_OVERLAP_MAP.md`). `modules/cdio` scores what an **end user** sees. `modules/cognitive_os` governs what an **agent's** context costs. The load a codebase places on a **human who has to modify it** was unscored.
