Mark each transition between chain links as automatic or

Mark each transition between chain links as automatic or deliberate during documentation, because deliberate triggers are structural weak points that fail under stress when executive function is depleted.

Why This Is a Principle

Derives from Directed Attention as Depletable Resource (executive function depletion), Automaticity Without Conscious Control (automatic vs. controlled processes), and Cognition Operates Through Dual Processing Systems (System 1 vs. System 2). The principle prescribes a diagnostic method for identifying chain vulnerabilities.
