No Nested Tasks

A
Valis Work Rule structurally forbidding tasks from containing other tasks.
Rationale
Deep task nesting hides complexity and increases
State Management Overhead. By enforcing a flat structure, we ensure the
Cognitive Limit is respected and management overhead is minimized.
Operational Rule
While Notion allows infinite nesting, we restrict it:
  • If a Task becomes complex enough to need breakdown, convert it to a Project with sub-projects.
  • If a Task simply requires multiple steps, use a checklist within the task.
Clarifications
This rule applies specifically to the Task level. We allow hierarchy (sub-items) for Goals and Projects, but we structurally forbid it for Tasks to prevent infinite nesting.
