Add debouncing (requiring conditions to persist for a duration) to reduce false positive rates without tightening triggers — time filters noise from signal.

Why This Is a Principle

This derives from Context-Dependent Memory Encoding (context-dependent retrieval), Exponential Information Decay (exponential decay), and Every detection system faces a fundamental tradeoff between… (tradeoff between sensitivity/specificity). The principle prescribes temporal filtering because transient signals decay quickly while persistent signals remain — duration requirements separate them without changing the core trigger condition.
