IV. Data and Manifest Gauges

  1. Ingress data
    Raw sensor streams: adc_T(ts), encoder(ts), marker(ts), beacon(ts); device local time tau_mono and metadata (range, sensitivity, noise, etc.).
  2. Publication manifest fields (CalReport minimal set)
    • timebase.alpha, timebase.beta, timebase.jitter_rms, timebase.fit_resid_p99.
    • geom.R_eff_model (parameterization and confidence intervals), geom.v_scale, geom.slip_factor.
    • sensorT.k_T, sensorT.adc_0, sensorT.drift_model, sensorT.resid_p95.
    • constitutive.params (e.g., K_el, K_vis, ...), constitutive.ci, constitutive.fit_score.
    • conservation.eps_mass, conservation.eps_norm.
    • arrival.T_arr_1, arrival.T_arr_2, arrival.delta_form, arrival.path = description of gamma(ell) plus c_ref, n_eff gauges.
  3. Dimensions and units
    check_dim( T_fil ) == N; check_dim( v ) == m/s; check_dim( rho_L ) == kg/m; check_dim( s ) == 1/s; check_dim( T_arr ) == s.

V. Algorithms and Implementation Bindings

  1. I10-4 calibrate_kinematics( trace:any, sensors:list, timebase:dict ) -> CalReport
    • Align tau_mono -> ts: estimate alpha, beta, output jitter_rms and residual distribution.
    • Geometric calibration: fit R_eff(ts) using encoder(ts) and the winding-layer model to obtain v_meas(ts) and its uncertainty.
    • Sensor calibration: with known weights or static-load curves estimate k_T, adc_0, fit d_T(ts) and de-drift.
    • Strain-rate reconstruction: compute lambda(ts) and s(ts), run check_dim and apply smoothing constraints.
    • Two arrival-time conventions: compute T_arr^(1), T_arr^(2) in parallel, report delta_form and the path/medium manifest.
    • Pre-conservation check: on short windows evaluate eps_mass, eps_norm; if thresholds are exceeded, roll back to geometry/time-base steps.
  2. I10-2 estimate_tension( lambda:float, s:float, params:dict ) -> float
    Used in the inner loop of Mx-12 parameter iteration to test the explanatory power of the constitutive model for T_fil.
  3. Auxiliary conventions
    • Idempotency: repeated calls with identical inputs must return the same CalReport; replays use fixed random seeds and locked window selection.
    • Errors: E_BC_INVALID, E_DIMENSION_MISMATCH, E_CONSERVATION_FAIL, E_UNSTABLE_STEP.

VI. Metrology Flows and Run Graph

  1. Mx-11 timebase-geo-cal
    • Anchor-event acquisition: match beacon(ts) or pulse trains to a reference source.
    • Estimate alpha, beta: robust regression (e.g., Huber/Theil–Sen), compute jitter_rms and fit_resid_p99.
    • Geometric calibration: fit R_eff(ts) and slip_factor, output v_meas(ts) with confidence bands.
    • Quality gates: gate.timebase.jitter_max, gate.geo.scale_tol. If failed, roll back to sensor checks.
  2. Mx-12 constitutive-fit
    • Set excitations: step/ramp/small-amplitude sweep scenarios (see Chapter 12) to increase parameter identifiability.
    • Objective: J(params) = sum_t ( T_fil_meas(ts) - T_fil_pred(ts; params) )^2 / sigma_T^2.
    • Constraints: params obey physical priors (non-negativity, stability region); record fit_score and parameter confidence intervals.
    • Consistency check: cross-verify with Chapter 7’s H_{T|v}(f); require C^2_{Tv}(f) above threshold in the principal energy band.
  3. Mx-13 conservation-check
    • Compute rho_L = rho * A and J = rho_L * v.
    • Audit S12-1: discrete residuals of ( d/dt ) rho_L + ( d/dell ) J ≈ 0; output eps_mass.
    • Probabilistic/spectral normalization: output eps_norm and eps_spec (see Chapter 7) to pass publication gates.

VII. Verification and Test Matrix

  1. Minimum required cases
    • Dual-anchor time base: synthetic sequences with known alpha_true, beta_true; require |beta - beta_true| / beta_true <= tol_beta.
    • Winding geometry: standard drum and known line diameter; validate v_meas bias and R_eff fit residuals.
    • Tension calibration: known weight steps; validate k_T linearity and adc_0 offset; after drift suppression resid_p95 passes its gate.
    • Constitutive parameters: Maxwell synthetic regression; parameter relative error and fit_score meet gates.
    • Conservation check: eps_mass <= gate.mass in steady windows; convergence of eps_mass versus T_obs under non-steady scenarios.
  2. Boundary and extreme conditions
    Sparse/missing anchors, strong constitutive nonlinearity, slip jumps, quantization saturation, sensor saturation and hysteresis; provide fallbacks (densify anchors, shrink windows, regularize, excise saturated segments).

X. Deliverables and Version Management

  1. Artifacts
    • cal_timebase.json (alpha, beta, jitter and residual statistics), cal_geometry.json (R_eff_model, slip_factor), cal_tension.json (k_T, adc_0, drift_model).
    • constitutive_fit.json (params, ci, fit_score), conservation_report.json (eps_mass, eps_norm).
    • arrival_report.json (T_arr^(1), T_arr^(2), delta_form, gamma(ell), c_ref, n_eff).
    • Summary document CalReport.pdf and manifest entries aligned to schema.core.drawing/v1.
  2. Version strategy
    Changes to time-base or geometry gauges are marked MOD; added uncertainty fields are marked ADD; any change impacting historical comparability must ship a migration script and compatibility flag compat.cal.v1.
