triggerer (plural triggerers)

    • 1992, G. Vijver, New Perspectives on Cybernetics:
      Applied to a human being this would for instance mean that to say that someone is influenced by someone else, only refers to the fact that the last person is acting as a triggerer of structural change with regard to the first one, but that the triggerer isn't sure that he can be a triggerer, nor what will be the result of being the triggerer.
