SD-179

Discovery Overhead / The Naturalist’s Tax — new Lexicon term (v0.8). The cost of looking closely is that you see more, and everything you see needs processing. First observed: Two Ship experiment — Secondary harness generated more observations than work completed. Governed by Amdahl’s Law: each additional harness increases the sequential fraction by generating observations requiring L12 attention. Captain: “it is viscerally striking how bringing in a parallel harness has not sped this process up but is creating new observations which seem genuinely useful.” File: docs/internal/human-hud-amdahls-law.md. Lexicon: v0.8 (Error & Observation).
