Finite Capacity & Contention

Primes about systems whose throughput is capped by a limited resource: bottlenecks, attentional and oversight capacity, interference and contention for shared units, with the design responses of load balancing, redundancy, fault tolerance, and scalability as demand grows.

18 primes in this family — primes that sit near one another in abstraction space (k-means over structural-signature embeddings). Each is shown with its structural–framed character and how distinctive (sparsely-neighbored) it is.
