When you mentioned compartmentalization, I thought of compartmentalization of beliefs and the failure to decompartmentalize - which I consider a rationalistic sin, not a virtue.
Maybe rename this to something about remembering the end goal, or something about abstraction levels, or keeping the potential application in mind; for example "the virtue of determinism"?
To contrast my intentions, the linked post is about compartmentalizing map-making from non-map-making while mine is compartmentalizing different maps. Your association is a good data point, so I'll think about a better name. Perhaps the virtue of focus, abstraction or sequestration? Nothing's jumping out at me right now.
Abstraction is good; encapsulation is also good. I mentally use the terms "denotative folding" and "conceptual collapse" to refer to the idea when programming or considering multi-dimensional physics, respectively.
I like the encapsulation suggestion a lot. I'll implement all of these edits tonight. Thank you.
