Definitionv1
Emotional trigger: a specific, detectable emotional state
Emotional trigger: a specific, detectable emotional state that serves as the activation signal for a pre-designed agent, where the emotion itself (not an external event) initiates the response sequence
Why This Is a Definition
This definition precisely establishes the semantic boundary of 'emotional trigger' by identifying its genus (activation signal) and differentia (specific, detectable emotional state that initiates response sequence). It distinguishes emotional triggers from other types of triggers by emphasizing that the emotion itself, not an external event, serves as activation. The definition is consistent with the lesson's focus on using internal emotional states as deliberate activation signals rather than automatic reactions.
