Limit compound trigger conditions to two or three because adding conditions beyond that threshold reduces activation probability more than it improves precision.
Why This Is a Principle
This principle follows from signal detection tradeoffs (Signal detection involves independent dimensions…, Every detection system faces a fundamental tradeoff between…) and the B=MAP convergence requirement (Behavior occurs when three elements converge simultaneously). It prescribes an upper bound on trigger complexity based on the specificity-sensitivity tradeoff. The principle provides actionable guidance for calibrating trigger design.
