I'll skip the sex imagery, but your point is taken.
It appears that from moment to moment we match memory to stimuli to predict
what happens next.
So at any moment we receive stimuli. That's the trigger. Let's rewrite our
concept then:
Episode(stimuli, series)
Do we need anything else, of course there is a process which maps the stimuli
to the episodes. And perhaps another process that is constantly forming
episodes every moment...
What next...

PM:Now we just need to know, given a multi-modal stimulus
stream, when the triggers occur
Again a quick thought, but the remarkable thing about the
brain is that it can reconstruct a sequence - in principle - from almost any
point.
Think of an image of two people's clothes on the floor by
a bed, or two people lying in bed after sex ... no problems to construct what
comes after, or what went before.
This works spatially too - classically via metonymy. Shoes
under a curtain immediately denote someone standing behind it.
The brain remembers sequences temporal and spatial v.
well. Play any tune at random on my ipod and at the end I can't help
remembering
what comes next.
Ditto an urge - a rumbling tummy - can immediately prompt
the subsequent solution - say you at the fridge scoffing.
So virtually anything can be a temporal or spatial
trigger.,I guess

Read the cliff notes:
So, thus far we have an episode as follows:
Episode(trigger, series)
where trigger is a core memory that caused the episode, and series is a
subsequent action sequence.
Now we just need to know, given a multi-modal stimulus stream, when the
triggers occur.
Interesting....
