Establish automatic capture behavior through

Establish automatic capture behavior through environment-anchored tiny habits before designing organizational systems, because systems cannot function without reliable material flow.

Why This Is a Principle

Derives from Habits as Context-Response Associations (habit formation through context-response), Behavior requires an initiating signal to occur at a (behavior requires initiating signal), and Behavior occurs when three elements converge simultaneously: (Behavior = Motivation + Ability + Prompt). The principle prescribes habit-first, system-second ordering because the habit is the keystone that enables all downstream behaviors.
