Definitions for "TimeSlice"
A slice of time given to a thread or process so that it may run some code. Multitasking is the fine art of dividing up a linear stream of time between two or more tasks. These time divisions are often referred to as timeslices. see: cooperative multitasking, pre-emptive multitasking, thread
Proposal: a term for a collection of digitizations within a time window (marked by a beginning and ending timestamp). In the simulation there should also be a mechanism for relating this window to the individual events that contributed to the list of digitizations, even those events that originated before the start of the TimeSlice but generated digits within the window due to propagation times.
