Time-to-fire
the latency interval between when a cognitive agent's trigger condition is detected and when the agent's response is initiated, measured as the temporal distance between trigger awareness and activation awareness
Why This Is a Definition
This definition explicitly names the term 'Time-to-fire', establishes it as a latency interval, identifies the specific temporal relationship between trigger detection and response initiation, and distinguishes it from mere activation by specifying measurement as the distance between awareness of trigger and awareness of activation.
