IN multitenant situations this is even more complicated. Because I may have a time slice of the machine I’m “entitled” to and within that I have priorities with which I want to allocate things. If one of my tasks can’t complete, I hope it’s to the benefit of another of my priorities. Not someone else’s.

I suspect you intimately need a little language for this. Decoding priorities for frames in a video stream are already complex and those are trivial compared to the sorts of scenarios Conway’s Las introduces.
