What Events Are

Events are the system’s model of upcoming reality.

They capture things whose importance is shaped by time:

  • deadlines
  • opportunities
  • scheduled moments
  • external commitments

Why They Matter

Projects and goals can stay abstract. Events cannot. Events force a date-shaped encounter with reality.

That is exactly why they belong in the system. They create urgency gradients that should influence Today, alerts, and prioritization.

What Success Looks Like

Events succeed when important future moments stop arriving as surprises.
