How does osmosis determine the movement of fluid between capillaries and interstitial fluid?

Fluid enters the lymphatic system (this system returns fluid and proteins to blood) by diffusing into lymph capillaries.

It only diffuses into the capillaries if there isn't enough fluid there to begin with.
