# Algorithmic Efficiency / Implementation Simplicity

> "algorithmic-efficiency" (performance-core layer) is traded against "Implementation Simplicity" (performance-core layer) — a principle cannot be scope-separated from a quality, metric, or cost it competes with; resolve by measuring "Implementation Simplicity" and choosing an explicit operating point.
