I'm puzzled at this.

While the underlying parts of a system may have real-time
requirements, there doesn't seem to be much need to extend the
real-time design process all the way up to the human interface, unless
you're dealing with split second decisions, such as playing a musical
instrument or rocketry range safety controls.

The garbage-collected languages have a wider standard deviation of
latency, but they can still be characterised and described.

If you need to infect the rest of the system with the real-time
moniker, don't forget the underlying operating system.
