Axiomtheoreticalv1
The completion of one action can serve as a discriminative
The completion of one action can serve as a discriminative stimulus (cue) for the next action in a sequence.
Why This Is an Axiom
This is a foundational empirical claim from applied behavior analysis about how behavior chains function at a mechanical level. It describes the basic mechanism by which sequential behaviors link together, and cannot be derived from other claims in the curriculum. This is grounded in decades of ABA research (Cooper, Heron, & Heward).
Source Lessons
L-1041
Behavior chains link actions into automatic sequences
Each completed action triggers the next creating a cascade of automated behavior.
L-1051
Rebuilding broken chains
When a chain breaks restart from the first link rather than trying to jump into the middle.
L-1060
Well-designed chains make complex behavior feel effortless
A good chain executes a sophisticated sequence while requiring minimal conscious effort.
L-1107
The minimum viable behavior change
What is the smallest change you could make to test whether this approach works.
