Create mandatory physical interactions with trigger objects by placing them in the path of default behaviors rather than relying on passive visual cues.

Why This Is a Principle

This principle follows from affordances existing in agent-environment relationships (Action possibilities exist in the relationship between…) and physical proximity determining interaction likelihood (Physical proximity and visibility of objects…). It prescribes physical obstruction as a trigger design strategy because it converts a passive cue into an active interaction demand. Actionable and general across physical environments.
