Principlev1
Limit compound trigger conditions to two or three because
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 of, 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.
