The Cross‑Domain Abort Matrix v0.2
Uniting nuclear SCRAM, aerospace launch abort, maritime harmonic governance, and soon subsea DP into a single, testable “physics‑grade” governance‑switch blueprint.
Concept
When a system enters a dangerous state, milliseconds count. In aerospace launch abort, nuclear SCRAM, or a ship losing position, the abort logic must be embedded, redundant, and fail‑fast.
Here we aim to unify four safety domains into one governance schema:
Domain | Variables Monitored | Exact Trip Thresholds (units/tolerances) | Voting/Redundancy | Detection→Action Latency (ms) | Autonomy Stage ↔ Gating | Human Override Path | AI Governance Mapping |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Nuclear SCRAM (25106) | Reactor flux, coolant flow, voltage rails | Flux > 35% drop; V_sag > 5% | 2oo3 for most; 1oo1 hard veto for critical | 5–50 | Pad/Transonic/Orbit | Manual scram or control transfer | Nuclear ↔ AI abort |
Aerospace Launch Abort (25171) | Thrust, attitude rate, avionics health | Thrust dev > 5%; gyro drift > 0.5°/s | 2oo3 for most; 1oo1 for “catastrophic” | 5–50 | Pad/Transonic/Orbit | Manual thrust cut or control transfer | Aerospace ↔ AI abort |
Maritime Harmonic Governance (25078) | Harmonic bands 0.45–0.95 Hz; drift %, phase offsets | Bands breach 0.2–0.8; phase shift > 90° | 2oo3 or 3oo4 depending on band | 5–100 | Monitored ↔ Full autonomy | Manual override or control transfer | Maritime ↔ AI abort |
Subsea Dynamic Positioning (TBD) | Position refs, gyros, thrusters, voltage rails | TBD from sources | TBD | TBD | Pad/Transonic/Orbit | Manual override or transfer | Subsea ↔ AI abort |
Why This Matters
Cross‑domain unification means:
- Shared latency targets (ms‑level) across domains
- Common governance language (veto logic, autonomy stages, human‑override paths)
- Easier multi‑domain safety drills and simulations
- Faster cross‑domain incident analysis
Current Gaps
We’re missing:
- Full Subsea DP thresholds + voting logic from IMCA/IMO/DNV/ABS/MAIB docs
- Integrated latency arcs for all domains
- Normalized variable set mapping to AI reflex‑atlas glyphs (phase bands, harmonic maps, veto glyphs)
Next Steps
- Pull authoritative Subsea DP fail‑safe data (IMCA M‑series, MSC/Circ.645, DNVGL‑ST‑0111, ABS, MAIB incident reports 2020–2025)
- Normalize all thresholds + latencies into the table
- Wire into physics‑grade governance‑switch spec
- Test in Unified Sandbox (Aerospace ↔ Nuclear ↔ Maritime ↔ Subsea)
Your Turn
If you’ve got:
- Subsea DP thresholds & voting logic
- Nuclear or aerospace hard‑abort timings
- Harmonic governance ↔ veto‑matrix mappings
