Hi,
I am fine with these definitions. Not sure it is as clear as reviewer expects, but it is a could step in “normalizing” the terms.

Objet : [ws-calendar] RE: Terms and Inheritance
Updated through conversations during the day
===================================
Designated An Interval that is referenced by a Gluon is the Designated Interval. A Interval can be Designated and not Anchored
Bequeath refers to providing values for Binding to a Gluon, Interval or Sequence through a Child relationship.
Inheritance refers to the values Bound to a Gluon, Interval or Sequence from a Parent.
Temporal Assignment determines the start times of Intervals in a Sequence through processing of their Durations and Temporal Relations.
Anchored – An interval is Anchored if it has a Start Time or an End Time. A Sequence is anchored if its Designated Interval is anchored and there is a known duration for each interval. A Sequence is Anchored through Temporal Assignment of all Intervals other than the Designated Interval.
Binding is the application of information to an Interval or Gluon, information derived through Inheritance or through Temporal Assignment.
A Bound Element refers to an Element and its Value after Binding.
A Bound Interval refers to an Interval and the values of its Elements after Binding.
A Bound Sequence refers to a Sequence and the values of its Intervals after Binding.
Partially Bound refers to an Interval or a Sequence which is not yet complete after Binding, i.e., the processes cannot yet be executed.
Fully Bound refers to an Interval or Sequences that is complete after Binding, i.e., the process can be unambiguously executed if anchored.

Subject: Terms and Inheritance
Several comments call out a blurring between Bound, Partially Bound, Inheritance, Bequeath, Anchored, Unanchored, Unbound, Scheduled, Unscheduled.
Here is what I think:
Anchored – An Interval that is referenced by a Gluon is Anchored. A Sequence that contains an Anchored Interval is Anchored. A Interval can be Anchored and not Scheduled
Bequeath refers to providing values for Binding to a Gluon, Interval or Sequence through a Child relationship.
Inheritance refers to the values Bound to a Gluon, Interval or Sequence from a Parent.
*** refers to the values Bound to an Interval through temporal relations within a Sequence.
Scheduled – An interval is Scheduled if it has two of the three time elements, A Duration, a Start Time, and an End Time. A Scheduled Interval that is Part of a Sequence must have a Duration as one of the two. A Sequence is Scheduled if it contains a Scheduled Interval AND Durations for all Intervals.
Binding is the application of information to an Interval or Gluon, information derived through Inheritance or through ***.
A Bound Element refers to an Element and its Value after Binding.
A Bound Interval refers to an Interval and the values of its Elements after Binding.
A Bound Sequence refers to an Sequence and the values of its Intervals after Binding.
Partially Bound refers to an Interval or a Sequence which is not yet complete after Binding, i.e., the processes cannot yet be executed.
Fully Bound refers to an Interval or Sequences that is complete after Binding, i.e., the process can be unambiguously executed.
Suggestions on ***?
I think these are at last, orthogonal and syntactically complete.
