something that is required to happen at a particular time

Due (adjective) means: something that is required to happen at a particular time. It emerges from time, required, happen, particular: When a requirement is tied to a specific time, it creates an expected occurrence. In the EmergenceLexicon it sits at computed level 9, chaining down to the four foundations (space, time, energy, pattern).
