Owner retains the transport contract and selects MIT

decision
Published

decision Entry 53 · milestone M4

The owner chose to retain the current nonnegative heat-flux approximation, physical contract and raw guard while investigating the signed TGLF flux. The conversion review establishes an inferred negative sign without a denominator sign reversal (the final electron heat flux is inferred as -0.001689376033 gB; all 9 negative channel records at 8 accepted states have outward-decreasing temperature and no denominator-epsilon sign reversal, with maximum epsilon ratio 1.03e-11; all negative magnitudes are below 1 gBC-195), but does not identify the physical or numerical origin. The decision adopts no projected reference or signed-heat closure. Formal candidate acceptance remains not evaluable and K-030 stays open.

decision result
reference direction retain the current contract while investigating
original toolkit code/documentation MIT licence selected
new solver execution separate concrete review required

The repository now carries the MIT licence text, attributed to Vignesh Gopakumar, and its package metadata reads that file. Local source and wheel builds contain the licence and declare it in their metadata. The wheel retains the existing EPEDNN licence and notice unchanged. Third-party licences, experimental-data restrictions and repository privacy still apply.

No runtime code, tests or models changed. Existing test statistics remain retained execution evidence (33 focused checks pass in each mode, including 14 new sign/units/history tests; all 80 native heat-converter round trips meet the mixed 1e-12 parity criterion (maximum absolute difference 8.88e-16 m²/s), 32 numerical source files match the diagnostic bindings, and all 78 source modules pass typingC-196 supplies the prior focused checks); no fresh physics or full-suite run is claimed.

What’s next. Prepare the richer diagnostic output route, validation and allocation before requesting compute review. No solver, training, submission, synchronization or replacement occurred.
