Capture trigger

a behavioral anchor that automatically initiates a capture action by linking a pre-existing habit to a specific capture behavior through a 'after I [existing habit], I will [capture behavior]' formula

Why This Is a Definition

This definition precisely establishes the semantic boundary of 'capture trigger' by identifying its genus (behavioral anchor) and differentia (linking existing habit to capture behavior via specific formula). It distinguishes it from general habits or behaviors by specifying the intentional linking mechanism and the 'after...I will...' structure that makes it function as a trigger for capture rather than just any behavior.
