Fresh at Decision, Stale at Action: Routing New Information to LLM Decisions Already Made
Freshness shapes an LLM decision at the moment it is made; the action it commits to is latent, carried out later, in a changing world. We therefore introduce a timestamp theory of decision validity and a decision ledger that realises it. Six timestamps define a decision; a freshness ceiling bounds what up-to-date evidence guarantees at action time, placing the remaining risk in information published afterwards. Accuracy then factorises into two capabilities: routing, which delivers that information to affected decisions before their revision deadlines, and temporal judgment, which reads it for the time of action. The ledger is persistent state holding each decision's times, evidence and b...
