Blocked

Concept a word Carolverse uses with a precise meaning

๐Ÿ“–What it means

Work that could not proceed. Blocked is terminal but REVIVABLE โ€” unlike the dead states, an initiative can come back from blocked. A close whose objective was not met can never make a later refile 'stale' or 'duplicate': plumbing never buries an unmet objective.

โš–๏ธWhat it is NOT

The neighbours this word is most often confused with, and the line between them.

Not: Parked

Blocked is a failure; parked is a decision.

Not: Dead states

Closed, discarded and redirected are DEAD and need an operator or a verdict to revive; blocked is terminal but revivable.
