I’m just spitballing. But, what if we had some system that went:

1) load some model and set the system into “ready” mode

2) wait for an event from a sensor

3) when the event occurs, trigger some response

4) do other stuff; book keeping, update the model, etc,

5) reset the system to “ready” mode and goto 2

Is it possible we might want some hard time bounds on steps 2 and 3, but be fine with 1, 4, and 5 taking however long? (Assuming the device can be inactive while it is getting ready). Then, we could make sure steps 2 and 3 don’t include any non-static instructions.



Not sure what you're getting at tbh... Do you know about interrupts?
