// GRADIENT PHYSICS — HOW IT WORKS
HORIZONTAL GRADIENT (B−A)Measures the rate of change of the magnetic field horizontally across the 1.5m baseline. Detects ferrous object presence and gives an estimate of mass. Compact objects produce a sharp, symmetric peak.
VERTICAL GRADIENT (C−MID)Measures the vertical component of the field gradient. High V/H ratio indicates a compact, cylindrical or spherical object — consistent with munition geometry. Low ratio indicates flat, spread objects — consistent with debris.
TENSOR SIGNATUREThe combined three-dimensional fingerprint. Explosive ordnance (cylinders, spheres) produce recognizably different tensor signatures from irregular debris (engine blocks, wire). The MLS algorithm uses all three axes simultaneously.

RT-001MAJORMLS discrimination rate (70–80%) is an estimate, not a tested result
The simulator displays MLS scores based on physics-derived tensor gradient calculations. The 70–80% correct classification rate cited in the ORION proposal is based on published marine survey literature and tensor gradient physics for known munition geometries — it is not a result from testing against real ordnance.
All MLS outputs are derived from physics models, not calibrated field data. The System tab marks discrimination estimates with [?]. The MLS Engine tab states: "REQUIRES PROTOTYPE CALIBRATION — estimates, not tested results."
RT-002MODERATEMLS formula coefficients are unvalidated — require FCL calibration
The MLS computation weights were designed based on the physics of munition vs. debris discrimination, but have not been validated against a calibration dataset. Different field environments may require adjusted weights.
Weights are protected server-side. The formula structure is displayed in the MLS Engine tab. Prototype calibration (Phase 1, Months 1–3) will produce the validated coefficient set.
RT-003MODERATEDipole field model assumes simplified geometry — real seafloor has complex background fields
Real marine environments include diurnal variation, vessel interference, geological anomalies, and corrosion-induced field changes. The simulator does not model these noise sources.
The survey canvas includes baseline field noise simulation (±2nT random variation). A note in the gradiometer tab explains the simplified model. Real deployments require a baseline survey pass first.
RT-004MINORGPS coordinate display uses simulated relative positions, not actual WGS84 coordinates
KML/GPX export generates placeholder coordinates centered on the Solomon Islands for demonstration purposes.
Detection map and export labels state "SIMULATION — coordinates for demonstration only."
RT-005MINORBoat speed display shows knots but simulation runs in pixel velocity
The speed slider displays knots. The survey canvas physics runs in pixels/frame. The conversion is not physically calibrated to real meters.
The simulator is a qualitative physics demonstration, not a quantitative time-domain model. Speed affects MLS signature curve width correctly.
RT-006MINORMultiple overlapping objects produce additive field — no operator warning
When two objects are placed close together, their magnetic fields superimpose. The MLS score may be anomalously high or low depending on field cancellation.
Visual indicator added in detection log when adjacent objects are within 3m: "POSSIBLE MULTI-SOURCE OVERLAP — resurvey recommended."
RT-007MINORCurve symmetry calculation edge case — very fast survey speed produces too few samples
At maximum speed, the array passes over a small object in fewer frames, producing insufficient sample points for reliable symmetry scoring.
Guard added: if sample count drops below 8, symmetry score is set to 0.5 (neutral) and MLS display shows "SYM: LOW CONFIDENCE." This is handled server-side.
✓ PASS — RT-001 through RT-007 DOCUMENTED. No undisclosed issues. Simulation is a faithful physics representation of the ORION proposal with honest uncertainty labeling throughout. Suitable for UNDP proposal demonstration.
