C.27.TA:4.4 - Rhythm, Cadence, And Synchronization

A minimal rhythm or cadence claim still needs only the exact EntityOfConcern, temporal predicate, temporal reference, and window. Coupling, phase, synchronization, entrainment, dependency, or coordination wording appears only when the claim depends on a cross-bearer temporal relation.

Escalation form:

RhythmAspectClaimContent:
  entityOfConcernRef:
  aspectPredicate: rhythm | cadence | synchronization
  timingReference:
  rhythmWindowRef:
  intervalStructure?:
  rulePatternCitation?:
  directCouplingRelationDeclarationRef?:
  obtainingCouplingOccurrenceRef?:
  validityWindowRef?:

The optional fields appear only when the receiving use relies on them. A PatternID citation identifies the rule used to judge a claim; it is not the coupling relation.

A plain “release cadence” or “workshop rhythm” may remain ordinary prose. It needs C.27.TA when cadence or rhythm changes transformation, work planning, benchmark, source, assurance, coordination, or claim-use decisions.
