Public engineering surrogate

Public engineering-surrogate reliability emulator. It estimates optical-link closure probability under declared assumptions and validation limits. It is not mission-certified and does not reproduce internal NASA/JPL pipelines.

Optical Link Reliability Emulator

Closure-probability emulator over the reliability constraint manifold, reliability-regime chamber, threshold layer, and safety layer. Public scenario anchors only.

Scenario

Headline reliability numbers under the public scenario anchor. P_close gauge, percentile margins, dominant failure mode, and escalation flag.

Sixteen-field scenario form. Defaults come from the selected public scenario anchor. Per-input range / distribution controls feed the uncertainty model on the next tab.

Per-input distribution picker. Supported distributions: fixed, normal, lognormal, uniform, triangular, empirical. Correlations are recorded but not yet sampled.

Correlations

Independence is assumed across inputs unless a correlation list is supplied. The MVP records correlations but does not yet draw correlated samples.

No correlations recorded.

Histogram of sampled link margin (dB) over the Monte Carlo run, and the cumulative distribution. About 50 bins; gauge can be re-rendered from the Summary tab.

P_close gauge plus reliability-vs-range and reliability-vs-aperture sweeps (20 grid points each). Other inputs held at scenario values.

Failure-mode probability across the Monte Carlo samples. The dominant mode card shows which mechanism in the reliability constraint manifold was active most often.

Dominant failure mode

Run the emulator to compute the dominant failure mode.

Tornado chart of linear sensitivity (delta margin per fractional input change). Largest-magnitude bars are the most-load-bearing inputs.

Dominant uncertainty contributor

Run the emulator to compute the dominant uncertainty contributor.

Escalation logic flags scenarios where the public engineering surrogate alone is insufficient and a high-fidelity model is recommended.

Escalation verdict

Run the emulator first.

Reproducible reliability certificate. The deterministic result_hash pins inputs + constants + formulas + outputs. The receipt_hash adds the export timestamp.

Optional advanced view. The public UI uses engineering names everywhere; this tab carries the manuscript's research mapping for readers who want it.

The reliability emulator runs over a constraint-compression framework. The public UI uses these engineering names:

Research idPublic engineering nameRole

L_thresholdthreshold layerMargin-vs-requirement test
L_safetysafety layerFalse-safe risk + escalation projector

The active-branch architecture is used as a constraint-compression framework, not as a claim that high-dimensional physics is required for standard optical-link engineering.
