Trigger: the specific event, cue, or condition that initiates behavior, serving as the entry point that makes behavior start in the present moment rather than theoretically at some point, requiring an initiating signal distinct from motivation or ability
Why This Is a Definition
This definition precisely establishes 'trigger' by naming it, stating its genus (specific event/cue/condition), and differentia (initiates behavior in present moment, requires initiating signal distinct from motivation/ability). It addresses the fundamental distinction between trigger and motivation, and emphasizes the structural requirement that behavior needs an initiating signal rather than just desire or capability. It's precise enough to distinguish from related terms like motivation or habit cues.
