Where the sky is about to break open, and how far ahead that is knowable. Study 09 binds three observing networks into a fourth globe layer on Affine.Earth OS: aircraft traffic, atmosphere, and solar heating. The shear is shape — cap break on a boundary — not raw CAPE magnitude.

The forcing and its clock

The clock. Solar ephemeris is the exact heating clock already carried by the substrate. Heating cue seals as integer milli-units (solar_heating_cue_milli); subsolar longitude as milli-degrees. No floating-point seals.

The track. Initiation is a cap break on a boundary (shape). Energy magnitude alone is forbidden as a seal discriminant. Frozen thresholds below are the law; they do not move after this charter seal.

The observing network. Roughly two-thirds of Earth has no weather radar. Over those voids, traffic is the observing network — ADS-B / AMDAR probes stitch the atmosphere where GEO / radar do not. Polar latitudes (|φ| ≥ 65°) are REFUSED under GEO imagery — REFUSED is not clear sky.


Frozen integer thresholds

Symbol Value Meaning
T_cap_max_Jkg 25 Cap strength max (J/kg)
T_energy_min_Jkg 500 Minimum convective energy (J/kg)
T_convergence_min 500 Convergence in 10⁻⁷ s⁻¹ units
T_confine_max_km 50 Confinement max (km)
T_window_max_min 90 Nowcast window max (minutes)
T_cooling_max_mK −4000 Cooling max (milli-Kelvin)
T_top_max_mK 233150 Cloud-top max (milli-Kelvin)
T_null_match_ppt 100 Null-match parts-per-thousand

Companion nulls seal separately. LAW 3: a miss is CURE — never renamed to CALORIE.

Lead-dependent render object table

Never draw objects past the predictability horizon. The confidence horizon renders as a visible surface.

Lead band Objects allowed
0–90 min Convective cells
90 min – 6 h Meso objects (no cells)
6–48 h Synoptic packages
48 h – 8 d Multi-day envelopes
>8 d Synoptic only

Zoom → lead mapping (observer distance proxy): AIRPORT_WALK → 0–90m cells · METRO → meso · REGIONAL → 6–48h · HEMISPHERE → >8d synoptic only.


Dead-cat removal first

Hierarchical prune. Never materialize an empty global grid. Only sparse viewport cells that carry traffic probes, observation voids, solar cues, or the confidence-horizon surface survive into the pack.


Three terminals on the globe

Terminal Render cue Meaning
CALORIE BOND_LOCKED Constraint satisfied / probe bond
CURE FRACTURE_ACTIVE Fracture under heal — never masked
REFUSED OBSERVATION_VOID No observation — not clear sky

Data spine

geo imagery · lightning · ECMWF / GFS / ICON · AMDAR · ADS-B · solar.

Polar >65° → GEO REFUSED. Full ML initiation forecast is charter-bound; live cells today emit solar cue, traffic-as-probe markers, observation-void REFUSED, and confidence-horizon surface.


Success criteria (S1–S5)

Sealed separately with companion nulls. Prospective events pre-register before response examination; retrospective corpus grades against frozen thresholds without reopening them.

Warning

A recorded miss is a CURE. It is never renamed, filtered, or painted as clear sky.
