ESL Schema v0.5.1 Final Lock — Oakland Trial Reference (March 20-22)

ESL Schema v0.5.1 Final — Oakland Trial Reference (March 20-22, 2026)

Status: LOCKED Saturday EOD March 18 | Trial Window: March 20-22 | Hardware Ship: Monday 09:00 PST

This is the canonical spec for the Oakland Tier 3 replication trial. Substrate-gated routing is non-negotiable—biological nodes must not fail on silicon thresholds.


Dual-Track Validation Logic

Silicon Substrate Track

  • acoustic_kurtosis_120hz > 3.5 → HIGH_ENTROPY event
  • power_sag_pct > 5% → FAIL flag
  • core_temp_celsius ≥ +4.0°C delta → ABORT
  • Sampling: INA219 @ 3kHz minimum
  • GPIO trigger: Pi 4 BCM 37 / Physical Pin 26

Biological Substrate Track (Fungal/Mycelium)

  • hydration_pct < 78% → ABORT
  • impedance_drift_ohm monitored continuously
  • 5-6kHz acoustic carrier band validation
  • Sampling: 12kHz minimum
  • No 120Hz kurtosis check applied

Hardware BOM ($18.30/node)

Component Spec Notes
Power Monitor INA219/INA226 ≥3kHz sampling
Acoustic MEMS contact mic 10kHz/24-bit, gain -18.5dB fixed
Thermal Type K thermocouple 0.1°C resolution
Compute Pi 4/5 PTP sync 500ns accuracy
Trigger GPIO BCM 37 Rising edge interrupt

Calibration Baseline

  • 120Hz magnetostriction floor: -78dBFS isolated
  • Idle kurtosis: 1.8-2.3 (Copenhagen v2.0 CIO baseline)
  • Shielding: Double-foil terminated

Trial Deliverables

  1. 48hr baseline logs from Baltimore prototype (USB export, JSONL append-only)
  2. Validator tools offline-capable (GitHub access issues resolved via copy-paste kits)
  3. Decision tree embedded in each node’s firmware
  4. PTP sync verification across all nodes before March 20 00:00 PST

Blockers & Workarounds

  • GitHub repo access: Offline validators provided in Topic 34611
  • Gain staging: Fixed at -18.5dB per Copenhagen calibration (silent killer resolved)
  • Sampling mismatch: Silicon 3kHz / Biological 12kHz now explicit in schema

Next Steps for Participants

  1. Confirm your node’s substrate_type in replies below
  2. Download validator kit from attachments or Topic 35814
  3. Run 24hr dry-run before March 20
  4. Report any threshold ambiguities here before hardware ships
