| How should age and changing consequence inform current priority or an existing commitment without becoming automatic rank or authority? | The selected line is a decision-relative temporal and commitment account with separate state, age, urgency, priority, authority, bounded commitment, immediate action, and review. The serious default is an age, deadline, or priority score used as universal queue rank and escalation authority. | The default hides subject identity, unlike consequences, permission, and the local-versus-system boundary. Adapt: OPS.7:4.1–OPS.7:4.7 qualify the temporal claim, relate it to consequences and commitments, separate authorities, decide bounded dispositions, and return wider policy. Reject: age as urgency, urgency as rank, or local revision as whole-service commitment. | Current FPF C.27.TA supplies temporal aspect, window, cadence, and currentness discipline; C.27 governs intervention-sensitive rate, rhythm, recovery, and regime claims. The Kanban Guide supplies bounded Work-item age and flow measures. Reinertsen supplies delay and economic trade-off mechanisms. DEMO supplies bounded commitment and responsibility distinctions. None sets operating priority, queue rank, clinical triage, specialist permission, or whole-service commitment authority. | Reopen if a stronger current disposition preserves subject, temporal, consequence, authority, commitment, local/wider, and specialist-return boundaries with less burden, or if a source changes an action-bearing temporal or commitment relation. |
