Learning objectives

On the way — what you will learn

The spiderweb is a read-only mirror — fabric averages compressed for the operator dashboard, not a second simulation. On the way you will follow updateHardwareFromAnalogFields(), read per-core MHz and util, and refuse SEM marketing as instrumentation.

Spiderweb graph
On the way — Spiderweb graph

Introduction — dashboard, not microscope

updateHardwareFromAnalogFields() mirrors averaged Phi/Thermo/Flow into hardwareFabric — per-core MHz, util, temp, power, spiderweb edge currents. Read-only mirror — not second simulation, not SEM imaging. Chapter 9 Tesla constants damp reverse edges; Chapter 7 dispatch calls mirror every frame after fabric evolution.

Chapter summary

Spiderweb mirrors fabric. Six steps each frame. Tiers unlock controls. SEM is metaphor. Prior: Ch 9. Next: Ch 11.

Study questions

  1. List six mirror steps.
  2. What does Puny tier read for clocks?
  3. Label SimulateSubMicron honesty.
  4. How does Tesla reach edges?
  5. What is precision-field cousin?

Coupling fabric averages to sysfs Puny tier

Puny AutoUseRealClocks reads Linux sysfs MHz as freq witness — Chapter 19 sovereign time extends witness doctrine. Spiderweb simulated MHz should not be confused with sysfs — honesty table: mirror vs hardware read.

SimulateSubMicron — what changes

Adept tier SimulateSubMicron enables procedural detail path — still not SEM. SDF epsilons accumulate; label Metaphor when presenting screenshots externally.

Tidewalker responsibility

Graph override is power — Chapter 18 covenant: operator conscience, not daemon. ForcedVendor and SubMicronDetail can lie beautifully; stderr and sysfs Puny tier anchor honesty.
