"no guesses. we want to decompile and find the right answer" -- done. Every
function in the heat-removal chain read from the decomp and diffed against our
reconstruction:
HeatSinkSimulation @004ad924 E += pending; T = E/mass; alarms EXACT
UpdateHeatLoad @004ad7f0 radiated = T x coolant; clamp(0.002x) EXACT
ConductHeat @004ad8ac exchange into linked + rebalance EXACT
ComputeHeatFlow @004ad9ec (T1*mScale - (E1+E2+pend2)/den) * tau
* (1 - e^(-dt*k*(cool/cap)*flow/den)) EXACT
BalanceCoolant @004ada94 radiated-equalising move, 3 clamps EXACT
Condenser sim @004ae4d8 mScale = clamp>=1((1-zoneDmg)*refrig) EXACT
Reservoir sim @004aef78 inject-only; thermally passive EXACT
Every term is properly dt-scaled -- the dissipation side is rate-INDEPENDENT.
The only rate-dependent energy term in the whole thermal system remains the
myomer kinetic generation, i.e. the calibration knob is pointed at the right
factor and nothing on the cooling side can absorb the blame.
LIVE chain verification (new [heatflow] census, incl. a RADIATOR tag on the
bank's own Performance, which the base-sim census could not see):
Myomers 490 -> Condenser5 420 -> bank 337 -> ambient (relaxing onto the
300K setpoint). The exit exists, runs, and holds the bank just above 300.
AND ONE REAL FINDING -- my night-8 "no per-chassis cooling variation" claim was
WRONG, and Oracle's stated mechanism is vindicated to the digit:
bank k = 0.1 x HeatSinkCount x 231000: Owens count=5 -> k=115,500
Thor count=13 -> k=300,300
The Thor sheds 2.6x the Owens' heat through the mech's ONLY ambient exit --
"a thor could run seek 4 for extended periods because of the number of
heatsinks" is exactly the authored model. My hsparm chassis comparison had
printed RESOURCE constants BEFORE the ctor's count scaling; the dump now
carries a warning to stop the next person misreading it the same way.
(The KB was never wrong -- open-questions.md:593 documented the radiator
scaling when task #9 landed it. The wrong claim lived in my #96 comment.)
