Space weather
Cosmic-ray nucleons and solar protons flip bits in dense AI memory. KWAM watches the radiation forecast from NOAA SWPC, the real operational forecaster, and can hold more redundancy during a storm. It never weakens integrity: a flipped bit still fails its SHA-256 check.
Radiation induces single-event upsets (SEUs) in dense AI memory. The real upset agents are cosmic-ray nucleons and solar energetic particles (protons), not neutrinos. KWAM responds by carrying more redundancy when the forecast warrants it.
The NOAA Space Weather Prediction Center is the real operational space-weather forecaster. KWAM polls it live and runs a deterministic risk assessment over the signal.
| NOAA SWPC signal | What it measures |
|---|---|
| G / S / R scales | Geomagnetic, solar-radiation and radio-blackout storm levels. |
| Kp index | Planetary geomagnetic activity. |
| GOES proton flux | Solar energetic-particle flux, a primary SEU driver. |
| GOES X-ray flux | Solar flare X-ray output. |
| Flare / CME alerts | Flare and coronal-mass-ejection event notifications. |
The real risk level drives a MODELED SEU pressure that nudges modeled ECC/SRAM counters in the HUD. It never touches a real or reconstructed byte.
KWAM may show JWST deep-space observational context. JWST is not a space-weather forecaster, and KWAM never treats it as one.
The enforcement loop that auto-recodes to wider parity when a storm is forecast is designed, not yet wired. We badge it as designed until it ships.
When live, it would widen parity ahead of a forecast storm and relax it as conditions return to quiet — always above the SHA-256 gate, never instead of it.
How parity & nines workDesigned enforcement loop
# risk from NOAA SWPC (real)
risk = assess_risk(swpc)
if risk == "storm":
# designed: widen parity
recode(parity="wider")
# integrity gate is unchangedNOAA SWPC for the real signal, modeled SEU pressure clearly labeled, and an integrity gate that never bends. Tell us about your fleet.
