06 RF Signals Planetary Weave

06 — RF, Signals, and the Planetary Weave

Three meanings of "RF" in this stack

Context	What "RF" means
planetary_weave.comp	🎨 Visual atmospheric shell layer
NEXUS Field Antenna	✅ Local RF/audio/wired orchestration
Engine fieldPhi	Gate voltage / wave potential — not literal radio

Do not equate GPU Phi with ionospheric propagation without labeling the jump.

Planetary weave — visual layer

Earth cross-section shader with concentric shells. RF layer at:

#define R_RF  (R_EARTH + 1.05)   // Layer L_RF

Stack: core → crust → hydro → clouds → troposphere → … → ionosphere → RF shell → magnetosphere.

🎨 Visual vocabulary — teaches where signals "live" in the stack metaphor, not a spectrum analyzer.

Field Antenna Orchestrator (NEXUS) — ✅

Monitors RF + audio + wired + laser reference bands:

• Optical/laser: 405–1550 nm entries
• LIDAR flow ports in registry
• GPS field anchors for triangulation metaphor
• Outputs: field-antenna-panel.json, field-rf-panel.json, signals-field-panel.json

Free-space path loss (teaching reference)

[ FSPL \propto 20\log_{10}(d) + 20\log_{10}(f) ]

Used in NEXUS docs as ITU-R/FCC context — not computed inside AMOURANTHRTX shaders.
