Chapter 10 · Hardware Spiderweb — Sub-Micron Mirror
Learning objectives
- Explain
hardwareFabricas read-only mirror of fabric averages. - Trace
updateHardwareFromAnalogFields()six-step frame ritual. - Define voltageFactor, thermalThrottle, parallelEff roles.
- Operate mastery tiers Puny, Adept, Tidewalker with honest expectations.
- Apply sub-micron honesty table before marketing language.
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.

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.

Six-step frame ritual

- Sample avg Phi, Thermo, Flow
- Apply fluid velocity/density + Tesla bias
- Compute voltageFactor, thermalThrottle, parallelEff
- Update hardwareFabric.units[] — operationalFreqMHz, util, voltage, temp, power
- Update spiderweb edges[].currentUtil
- Accumulate simulatedChipCycles

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.
