  temporal-resolution IS-A metric: it is a specific kind of quantitative standard used to evaluate systems. The INSTANCE_OF test passes because a competent speaker would call temporal resolution 'a metric' — specifically, a metric of temporal precision. The direction is specific (temporal-resolution) → general (metric).

  Law 7 which-came-first test. Pinned senses: signal-sampling per its accepted definition — the practice of converting a continuous-time signal into a discrete sequence by measuring amplitude at uniform time instants, its rate 'fixed by the system'; temporal-resolution per its accepted scope and definition — a human-made specification of the smallest distinguishable interval in a time-domain measurement or display system, 'defined by the sampling rate, frame rate, or refresh rate of the apparatus'. The practice came first: discrete measurement at instants is the older construct, and the named parameter 'temporal resolution' rides on it — the entry's own scope says the interval is defined by the apparatus's rate, i.e. the parameter was named from the practice's pre-existing interval. The practice fed the parameter, not the other way. (The present-tense operational question between the pair was separately ruled: the parameter is a reciprocal restatement of the rate, so no DEPENDS_ON holds in either direction — which is exactly why the historically correct edge here is DERIVED_FROM.)
