The Shape of the System - Engineering for Bounded Cognition

It is interesting to compare this to LLMs - they also have the bounded context that you can see as the analogue to our working memory. It can contain enormously more bits of information than the 4 things the article says is the capacity of our working memory - but the 4 things can probably be much more complex internally - they are more like 4 pointers probably.

But at some level context engineering is very similar to what this article talks about.
