The Helmsman: A Two-Tier Control Architecture for the Complete Build

Design paper of the Complete Build (Time Machine Blueprints, master list item 108): the machine's control architecture in two tiers — a deterministic real-time helmsman holding every servo loop and protective trip, the exolex commanding above it as pilot — with the M-1 to M-4 rate set and fail-safe transition times written as design values, verified in the campaign Monte Carlo (SIMULATED, NOT MEASURED).

Abstract

Design paper of the Complete Build (Time Machine Blueprints, master list item 108): the machine's control architecture in two tiers — a deterministic real-time helmsman holding every servo loop and protective trip, the exolex commanding above it as pilot — with the M-1 to M-4 rate set and fail-safe transition times written as design values, verified in the campaign Monte Carlo (SIMULATED, NOT MEASURED).
