A temporal condition in which legislation on a public matter is pending and the deciding body has not yet chosen among competing proposals, so professional testimony and recommendations occur before the decision is rendered, here various bills involving water supply, flood control and production of electric power pending before a state legislature, with hearings called to receive comments and recommendations.
Inherited from TemporalState
· note
A condition defined by phase or timing: a pre- or post-termination phase, a before- or after-notification window, a deadline window. As a content kind it is the temporal standing of the situation. Its deontic relevance is that it bounds when a time-relative obligation holds: the phase is an Event Calculus fluent, initiated and terminated by events and inertial or non-inertial in the sense of Berreby et al. (2017); reading the bounded duty off the fluent span is this design's own move.

primary
A condition in which a professional engineer offers expert testimony on a contested public question while representing an interested party, so loyalty to the represented party's position stands alongside the duty of objective professional judgment, here one engineer representing the state power commission and another representing a private power company, each advocating his party's preferred dam solution before the legislative committee.
Inherited from ConflictOfInterestState
· note
A condition in which an agent holds competing interests or loyalties, or competing role-derived duties, that cannot all be fully served and that bias or constrain the exercise of professional judgment. As a content kind it is the standing tension among interests, covering both conflict of interest and competing duties. Its deontic relevance is that it renders the affected obligations defeasible against one another and grounds the competesWith, prevailsOver, and defeasibleUnder edge family.
