# Kairos

Sensing the opportune moment

Layer: Mind · Category: Strategy

## Mechanism

Aggregates environmental signals (receptivity, system load, friction) to calculate a 'Readiness Potential'. Returns TRUE if the potential exceeds the sensitivity threshold.

## Invariants

- Ephemerality: A True result at t=0 implies nothing about t+1.
- Non-Compensatory: If the moment is wrong, more effort cannot fix it.

## Failure modes

—

## Parameters

- `sensitivity` (Float, [0.0, 1.0]): Readiness threshold (0 = always ready, 1 = never ready)
- `window` (Duration, unspecified): Observation window for aggregating readiness signals
