Definitionv1DF-130

Flash information

knowledge with a half-life of hours to days that is typically urgent but not important, such as stock prices, trending topics, and most notifications

Why This Is a Definition

This definition clearly names 'flash information', places it within the genus of knowledge types, and distinguishes it through its specific differentia (half-life of hours to days) and typical examples. It precisely differentiates flash from cycle and bedrock information by both temporal scope and functional value.
