Your thoughts?

Stay with your intuition. consider -
- take into account all the possible goals the system could have
call those "all the opportunities"
- "ensure that the most important at the moment"
call that the best opportunity
- "are part of the agenda"
that's the "arbitrator" who is looking at the current activity
along with the proposed best opportunities. Either it's "best" to stay
with the current opportunity or go with the "filtered up" best opportunity.
A scheme like this requires that every opportunity be "ranked" and
promoted at the proper time. The promotion is the easy part - when
conditions are met, do the promotion. The ranking is the difficult part
- hard but not impossible.
Arbitration can be simple, look at rank. More sophisticated Arbitrator
might do an analysis of fit with the long term strategy.
I think this kind of design has promise as it is easy to understand and
allows for instrumentation as it would be simple to log the "current"
opportunity and see how it changes over time.
This is a quick sketch of my current design.
