Sensor–actuation divergence

Hypothesis Defined for a dual node. Its use as the earliest hinge fingerprint is stated in the style sheet and has not been tested here.

Source: Style sheet v22 §1.5

Definition (canon)

Persistent gap between what a dual node assesses and what it does, sustained past normal response latency. Earliest node-level hinge fingerprint. Metabolic instance: selective hepatic insulin resistance.

In plain words

The part that reads the state and the part that changes it stop agreeing, and keep disagreeing.

It is not

  • A lying sensor. A sensor that has lost responsiveness has gone quiet, which reads like fine.
  • Restricted to the Apollo story. The story borrows the shape (a gauge that saturated while the heaters ran on) and does not show that the tank is a dual node.

What would defeat it

  • Follows from the definition. A dual node that rupture-fails with no preceding sustained gap between assessment and action.
