Certified Temporal Budget for Neural Control
Attach a learned controller to a physical or simulated plant and use a continuous safety certificate to compute a conservative remaining-time budget before the current action or latent prediction can become unsafe. Compile this spatial margin into a unit-rate temporal contract, allowing asynchronous inference, batching, or early execution without online rollout integration; trigger a new network evaluation only when the countdown reaches a guard threshold.
