Aperiodic chronotaxis
in GenOS.
Persists observation schedules and receipts to expose missed temporal windows.
DEFINITION AND SCIENCE
What it means
in GenOS.
Time-dependent observation can miss short-lived events when sampling is periodic or delayed. Aperiodic schedules and receipts expose which windows were actually observed.
Plan phases → Execute read-only probes → Review gaps
For event window W=[t_start,t_end] and observation times {t_i}, coverage holds only if some t_i∈W. Record expected and actual t_i to expose misses.

PROCESS AND USE
How it works
at a glance.
Plan phases
Choose bounded nonperiodic observation windows against declared coverage goals.
Execute read-only probes
The resident tick rechecks spacing and deadlines, then dispatches an allowed SQL probe and records its timestamped artifact. Failed or missed probes do not increase coverage.
Review gaps
Compare coverage with the plan before changing observation policy.
RUNTIME IMPLEMENTATION
What is connected,
and how far.
Only resolved artifacts from actual observations count toward coverage. The runner must keep calling the resident tick; creating a schedule does not start a daemon. Latency and spacing constraints may exclude some phase sectors, and varied timing cannot guarantee detection of every anomaly.
Resident ticks dispatch bounded read-only probes and persist actual phase coverage, failed probes and missed windows. Field coverage and improved anomaly detection remain unqualified.
Failure modes have not yet been separately cataloged for this entry; follow the source and evidence links before relying on the mechanism.

Time, Clocks, and the Ordering of Events in a Distributed System
Leslie Lamport · Communications of the ACM 21(7), 558–565
Defines a partial order of events and logical clocks. A published run without event timestamps cannot be reconstructed into a causal timeline from this result alone.

EVIDENCE AND LIMITS
A schedule is not an observation
Only resolved artifacts from actual observations count toward coverage. The runner must keep calling the resident tick; creating a schedule does not start a daemon. Latency and spacing constraints may exclude some phase sectors, and varied timing cannot guarantee detection of every anomaly.
