: Hasn't someone come up with a name for this like "Entropy of the data is 30
: days" or... "the half-life of the data is 15 days". This is a critical
: value when looking at it from a military point of view. If you can't decode
: enemy plan for attack before a certain date/time then the info is
: useless....
That betrays a bit of ignorance about the meaning of 'half-life'.
I think the word you're looking for is 'lifetime'.
