When does an idea from a conversation become a permanent rule?

Raw explanation
  → correct reality errors
  → match against existing rules
  → find the measured gap
  → extend the correct existing rule
  → add ground + falsifier

1 — Raw idea

“If two requests arrive, it must be more important.”

2 — Reality correction

- Two requests mean greater importance.

+ Request count is not priority.
+ It may be a duplicate or retry of the same request.
+ Priority comes from a typed demand class.

3 — Match against existing rules

Progressive hydration          → already exists
Single authority               → already exists
Singleflight                   → already exists
Do not produce unused data     → already exists
Demand ordering                → measured gap

4 — Do not create a new rule

- Write a new independent rule

+ Extend the existing lifecycle owner

5 — Permanent delta

Demand
├── dataKey
├── consumerIdentity
├── urgency
├── completeness
└── freshness

6 — Evidence carried by the rule

Ground
└── measurement(title-hydration-demand-order)

Falsifier
├── human focus does not reduce latency
├── more than one in-flight job runs for the same DataKey
├── a priority change restarts work that already began
└── retained demand disappears before completion or release
