  • The amount you can delegate is tied to how much context the other party has.
    • Context that hasn't already been transmitted needs to be transmitted to allow delegation.
    • Some tasks require too much one-off communication to be worth it.
    • But if you expect to interact with that system many times in the future, and for it to do a good job of remembering the right context, then more tasks become worth it.
      • This would require the system do a good job of keeping the context tidy and up to date so it's useful in the right contexts.
    • A paper that goes into these kinds of tradeoffs.
