Working definition

A dated evidence state containing only information documented as available by that moment, without importing later findings.

In plain language

It answers what a defined observer could know then, rather than what the final investigation eventually concluded.

Why it matters

Separating event time from knowledge time prevents hindsight contamination in operational, public-information and forensic analysis.

Engineering relationshipKnowledge(t) = documented evidence published or available at or before t

The observer, time zone, source boundary and publication delay must be defined.
