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.
