Cycle information

knowledge with a half-life of months to a few years that is necessary for current professional competence but does not compound over time, such as industry trends and framework documentation

Why This Is a Definition

This definition clearly names 'cycle information', places it within the genus of knowledge types, and distinguishes it through its specific differentia (half-life of months to a few years) and functional characteristics. It precisely differentiates cycle from flash and bedrock by temporal scope and compounding potential.
