+# Re_D = 50 Kármán inflow: paired pinball VIV / frozen PPO demo
+
+Development experiment, frozen before results, 2026-10-31. No new production
+method, structural damping, force filter, policy training, or main merge.
+[Force-spike research index](research/moving_boundary_force_spikes.md).

+## Plant and structure
+
+Base `e9213dd2cc9cfed0e8487a3cf4ebdd94d23dc64d`; fixed-policy contract from
+`580397eaf83c85b233495791ecc51662a374a247`. Reuse `steady_pinball` config,
+coordinate map and exact held-force oscillator. D40, U=.005, nu=.004, MRT,
+2559 x 1022, FP32 unshifted double buffers. Regularized parabolic inlet,
+NEQ extrapolation outlet, bounce-back y walls (.5,1020.5); no BC changes.
+D20 coordinates map x'=2x, y'=.5+2(y-.5).
+Upstream cylinder (400,510.5), radius40, is static. Pinballs radius20 at
+(1200,510.5), (1252,540.5), (1252,480.5) share only transverse translation.
+Lab probes radius10 at (1600,590.5), (1600,510.5), (1600,430.5) stay fixed.
+
+One shared `Translation`, travel ±D, max wall speed .025, existing clearance
+and per-step move guards unchanged. M2: m*=2 based on all three disks,
+M=7539.8223686, fn=.000025, K=.000186037660, C=zeta=0; release y=v=0.
+Each native step uses previous-step sum(CME_y+Wen_y), then exact oscillator
+update with held force. Wall speed is interval displacement y[n+1]-y[n].
+Cover/uncover impulses are logged, never added to the selected RHS. This
+estimator remains provisional; existing spike/convergence limitations remain.
+
+## Same release state, two clocks
+
+A static precursor retains the accepted Kármán sequence: upstream+probes,
+2,048,000-step warmup, 150 x 3,200-step no-pinball target samples, add static
+pinballs/sync, second 2,048,000-step warmup. Save both DDF buffers, flags,
+clock and last instantaneous force. Construct each moving arm fresh at the
+same zero-offset geometry, check flags, copy both buffers and clock, verify
+exact copy hashes. This one-time research initialization is not a moving
+checkpoint or FSI rollback. Initial policy observation and spin are zero.
+
+Frozen model SHA256 `148240c1dcb8b11d8e5a0a9e991f6874c4e799c9744707bf0fb32a8efeb0468d`;

+Only these explicit supplied assets are accepted. Policy is CPU deterministic.
+Native policy signals: packed CME (same `read_force` path), lab area-mean
+velocity, each averaged over SI3200. Convert to original D20 training units:
+forces x2, area-mean velocity x2 x78, then frozen force-first normalization
+and clipping. Fine-grid probe pixel footprint is not exactly identical;
+using the original78 cells avoids a hidden area-count normalization change.
+The moving plant, motion-induced force, lab-frame wake displacement and D40
+resolution remain out of training distribution. No transfer guarantee.
+
+A=(8a+(0,-4,4))*.005; EMA alpha=.9^(1/4), reset0 each SI; omega=+A_eff/20.
+This preserves historical physical actuator timescale under dt/4.
+The zero arm substitutes a=(0,.5,-.5), so all spins are identically zero.
+Policy interval averaging does **not** average the native structural RHS.
+
+## Bound, output, and interpretation
+
+One serial pair, zero then controlled: 400SI=1,280,000 native steps=160D/U
+=32Tn per arm. No retuning/automatic extension. Stop on nonfinite state,
+no_donor, travel/speed/move rejection, or four-hour whole-pair wall cap.
+A failure stops the remaining run; retain valid rows and completed intervals.
+NaN trailing rows are unexecuted, not zero-valued observations.
+
+Report first/last80D/U windows, mean offset separately from centered RMS,
+half-range, peak, frequency and drift; native versus SI-averaged force,
+CME/Wen/node/crossing terms and action/observation clipping. Last80D/U is
+the principal descriptive window, not an asserted settled window. If zero
+arm half-range <.1D there, classify weak response and do not claim vibration
+suppression. Report continuous ratios regardless. Cloaking uses retained
+canonical last30 lagged sensor DTW against this precursor's no-pinball target,
+with fixed-body D20 results contextual only. These are development criteria,
+not paper uncertainty, grid convergence, or proof of validated FSI.
+
+Save native18-column rows (~184MB/arm), small SI signals, target, config,
+release two buffers (~188MiB), hashes and terminal reports outside checkout.
+No per-step field output. Expected new data <650MB, check actual resources.

+# Moving-boundary force spikes: evidence and source index
+
+Updated 2026-10-31.
+
+This note indexes supplied audited observations and primary-source extractions.
+It does not report a newly measured cure or implement an alternative method.
+Paper details below were supplied by the parent investigation; no new source
+retrieval or independent paper verification was performed for this note.
+
+## Current implementation and interpretation
+
+- Celeris M1 reconstructs a fresh node as `feq(rho_bar, u_wall) + donor NEQ`.
+- In exact arithmetic, the donor non-equilibrium component has zero mass and
+  momentum when formed against the donor's own equilibrium moments.
+- Re-projecting that same reconstruction onto the same wall velocity therefore
+  does not, by itself, change its mass or momentum or supply a cure for spikes.
+- Floating-point residuals should be measured separately from this algebraic fact.
+- Peng's alternative differs upstream: extrapolate PDFs from three donors, then
+  replace selected moments. It is not simply another projection of current M1.
+- PPO interval-force observations and native per-step FSI right-hand-side forces
+  are distinct signals; comparisons must identify which signal is being used.
+
+## Audited run observations supplied to this note
+
+- D40 revision: `e9213dd2cc9cfed0e8487a3cf4ebdd94d23dc64d`.
+- Window: first `97.303 D/U` of physical time.
+- Maximum displacement: `max |y|/D = 0.304893`.
+- Maximum native force-coefficient increment: `max |ΔCy| = 0.66688`.
+- D20 over the same physical-time window: `max |ΔCy| = 1.80735`.
+- The largest D40 event involved 30 nodes.
+- These are supplied audited observations, not measurements made for this note.
+- Time steps and trajectories differ between runs. This comparison establishes
+  neither spatial convergence nor a unique cause for the force spikes.
+
+Evidence locations supplied by the investigation:
+
+- Horsea: `/tmp/celeris-results-pinball-resolution`.
+- Mac: `validation-evidence/pinball-force-diagnosis`.
+
+These locations index run evidence, not local copies of the cited papers.

+[Publisher abstract](https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0045793016301116).
+
+- Abstract-level support only: non-equilibrium refill reduces oscillations.
+- With local iteration, the compared refill methods give similar oscillation magnitudes.
+- Time-step decoupling reduces oscillations further in the reported sedimentation,
+  Couette, and Poiseuille examples.
+- The exact decoupling schedule and time-step ratios have not been verified.
+- This abstract does not establish equivalence to an arbitrary force filter.
+- Do not implement a claimed reproduction until the actual methods are available.

+
+- §VI, p. 18 discusses pressure waves associated with fresh nodes.
+- Appendix E.3, p. 25 and Fig. 18, p. 24 describe the local procedure.
+- Copy a local sublattice, perform local collision and streaming, write the fresh
+  nodes, and repeat before the global collision and streaming operation.
+- One to three iterations performed best in the reported tests; this is not a
+  universal iteration-count recommendation.
+- The reported smoothed torque-noise assessment is qualitative here.
+- Its thin-shell setting differs from the current moving-body configuration.

+- §5.1.2, Eq. (50), p. 368: extrapolate PDFs along an outward normal direction:
+  `f_new(x) = 3 f(x + e) - 3 f(x + 2e) + f(x + 3e)`.
+- §5.1.3, Eq. (51): wall equilibrium plus donor non-equilibrium is the family
+  containing the current M1 reconstruction.
+- §5.1.4, Eqs. (52)–(54): in MRT space, replace momentum with `j = rho0 u_wall`,
+  preserve the other moments, then apply the inverse transform.
+- A compressible Celeris adaptation must choose the appropriate density;
+  copying the paper's `rho0` blindly is not justified.
+- Three valid donors require new eligibility checks and fallback behavior beyond
+  the current one-link shared-body clearance rule.
+- §§5.2–5.3 retain nonzero fluctuations in specific configurations; these results
+  do not promise elimination of force spikes in the present problem.
+
+## Bounded next investigation
+
+1. Retain current M1 as the baseline and compare matched prescribed trajectories
+   over matched physical-time windows.
+2. Record raw force RHS, node crossings, donor moments, mass and momentum changes,
+   impulse, spectra, and trajectory response together.
+3. Evaluate local iterations, Peng-style reconstruction, and force filtering as
+   separate interventions, with explicit definitions and diagnostics.
+4. Obtain the actual time-step-decoupling methods before implementing that method.
+
+The current task indexes evidence only; it makes no alternative-method change.

+# Uncontrolled steady pinball: development protocol
+
+Frozen before results: 1280 x 512 D2Q9/FP32/MRT, unshifted double buffer;
+rho=1, mean U=.01, nu=.004, D=20, Re_D=50. Centres are (600,255.5),
+(626,270.5), (626,240.5), radius10. No upstream cylinder. Passive probes stay
+at (800,295.5), (800,255.5), (800,215.5), radius5. Every omega is zero.
+Parabolic inlet, regularized NEQ damping1; y bounce-back planes .5/510.5;
+NEQ-extrapolated outlet with backflow clamp (the configured blend is inactive in
+this MRT route). Initial fluid is
+parabolic equilibrium. Fixed warmup is 4 NX/U=512000 steps.
+
+Geometry and fluid parameters follow DynamisLab 609116ec26f19766f5e9ce2b0df427d4e24faae8,
+`legacy_test/core/legacy_env_builder.py:build_steady_cloak` and the retained
+`config_lbm_pinball_legacy_re50d_u001.json`. This is a modern Celeris reconstruction,
+not a bitwise Legacy reproduction: Legacy uses shifted incompressible MRT, a
+different curved interpolation and prescribed parabolic outlet velocity. Current
+Celeris uses standard MRT, two-branch BFL and extrapolated outlet velocity.
+The fixed-hold control uses the SAME modern settings as the free case.
+
+## Shared translation and ownership
+
+`Translation(..., shared=True)` is explicitly transverse only. Reusing one
+envelope INSTANCE declares common motion; equal but separate envelopes are not
+linked. Before initialization and every positive Simulation.run, group members
+must have identical applied offsets, effective target offsets and interval wall
+velocities. Stage each member with set_body, then call run(1) once. An incomplete
+or inconsistent target group is rejected before device uploads and can be fixed.
+Existing pending-target direct-stepper restrictions remain.
+
+Only members of that group may have overlapping whole swept bands. Their fixed
+surface clearance must exceed4 lattice cells. This conservative bound exceeds
+2 sqrt(2)+MAX_STEP = 3.329: M1 changed cells lie in old/new disks and read one-link
+neighbors; M2 reads at most two links outside its new disk. Old/new relative
+displacement is at most .5. Thus reads cannot reach another member's old/new
+solid or M1 write region. M1 writes are disjoint. M2 writes opposite population
+slots inside its own new disk, also disjoint. Separate first_slot ranges still
+allocate each body's logical band/debug storage. Shared band cells alone do not
+write anything: M1 returns unless membership changes; M2 returns unless a cut
+link exists. Unrelated moving/static body and probe overlaps still reject.
+
+This is a sufficient restricted-group condition, not support for near-contact
+or independent motion. The r4, distance8.3, dy=.5 counterexample remains rejected.
+CPU tests enumerate candidate donors/write footprints over subcell phases;
+GPU tests compare fixed vs hold and member-order permutations through crossings
+at wall speed .01 over the full +/-D envelope (8000 steps). The initial .5-speed
+fixture failed with NaNs; a single-circle control also failed at step69. That
+Mach~.866 fixture was unsuitable as a low-Mach numerical gate. Its failure is
+retained; the geometric MAX_STEP proof is unchanged, not a stability guarantee.
+CUDA kernels and arithmetic are unchanged.
+
+## New structural parameters (not inherited from the paper)
+
+One transverse state y,v; total assembly M=10 rho (3 pi D^2/4)=9424.77796,
+fn=U/(5D)=.0001, Tn=10000, zeta=.01, K=M(2 pi fn)^2,
+C=2 zeta M(2 pi fn). Initial y=v=0, no seed or later kick. Force is the sum
+of the three instantaneous CME_y+Wen_y values from the previous fluid step;
+node impulses are logged separately and never added. The damped oscillator is
+integrated exactly for that piecewise-constant force over dt=1. Wall velocity
+is y[n+1]-y[n], not the endpoint oscillator velocity. No filtering or retuning.
+
+Observe600000 steps=60Tn=300 D/U after warmup, in each of free and fixed-hold
+cases. Final20Tn is a descriptive comparison window; ten-Tn blocks expose drift.
+No settled/periodic claim follows merely from reaching the cap. Stop on |y|>D,
+nonfinite values, no_donor, rejected displacement or speed>.05. Report any quiet
+response honestly. No automatic extension. --smoke uses32 warmup+32 steps only.
+
+Native-step rows retain y,v, each body's CME/Wen/node terms and refill counters;
+each600000x15 FP64 file is72MB. No full-field output or policy training. Compile
+and run on one device serially, keep original outputs and dirty trees untouched.
+This stage makes no claim of physical grid convergence or vibration suppression.
+
+Run from checkout with PYTHONPATH=src and the existing Python environment:
+`python research/steady_pinball/run.py --smoke --out <new-external-directory>`
+then separately `--out <new-free-directory>` and `--fixed --out <new-fixed-directory>`.
+
+## Zero-damping development follow-up (predeclared 2026-10-31)
+
+The original d0bcefa run and its zeta=.01 results remain historical evidence.
+The current runner exposes three fixed `--case` choices, all with C=0 as requested:
+
+| Case | M / (rho 3 pi D^2/4) | fn | M | K | Purpose |
+|---|---:|---:|---:|---:|---|
+| Z0 | 10 | .0001 | 9424.77796 | .00372075320 | Remove damping only |
+| M2 | 2 | .0001 | 1884.95559 | .000744150640 | Reduce mass and stiffness together at fixed fn |
+| R2 | 2 | .00006 | 1884.95559 | .000267894231 | Change stiffness only relative to M2 |
+
+R2 deliberately places fn at the retained fixed-body lift peak, f=.00006
+(St=.12 on mean U). This is an informed development choice, not independent
+physical validation or a promise of lock-in. All geometries, fluid settings,
+512000-step fixed warmup, y0=v0=0, force time level and unfiltered RHS are unchanged.
+No run result may select a replacement parameter or an automatic extension.
+
+Each case has a 600000-step cap, the same 300 D/U physical duration. This equals
+60 natural periods for Z0/M2 and 36 for R2. Compare the common final200000 native
+steps, and six100000-step blocks, retaining actual natural/response frequencies
+and ongoing drift. Do not call those blocks ten R2 periods. No settled-VIV claim
+follows from a larger displacement. Report all three outcomes, including quiet
+responses or stopped cases, alongside the existing fixed and damped-free records.
+
+Unchanged stops: |y|>D, invalid move/speed, nonfinite values or no_donor. A 1800s
+per-case wall cap and GPU headroom check bound resource use. Preserve partial rows;
+do not add damping, clip trajectories, filter forces, or relax any stop. Each
+case adds72MB of scalar history, no full fields. The separate Legacy/modern
+baseline diagnosis does not change this FSI protocol.
+
+## Matched D40 resolution comparison (predeclared 2026-10-31)
+
+The first finer case is M2, with exactly the same mass ratio2, reduced velocity5,
+zero structural damping, initial rest state and physical geometry as the retained
+D20 M2. Targeting a development response of0.5--1D does not imply this case will
+reach it. Do not change the structure within this comparison or discard a smaller
+response. D60 is a supported scaling choice, not an automatically scheduled run.
+
+For s=D/20 use dx'=dx/s, dt'=dt/s^2, U'=.01/s, nu'=.004, rho'=1,
+fn'=fn/s^2, M'=s^2 M and K'=K/s^2. The same physical force per unit span
+has F'_lat=F_lat/s. For D40 this gives U=.005, fn=.000025,
+M=7539.82237, K=.000186037660, Re_D=50, and Tn=40000 steps.
+The y walls are at .5 and ny-1.5, while x inlet/outlet source nodes are at0
+and nx-1. Therefore map x'=s*x and y'=.5+s*(y-.5), with
+nx'=s*(1280-1)+1, ny'=s*(512-2)+2. D40 uses2559x1022 and centres
+(1200,510.5),(1252,540.5),(1252,480.5); every radius, probe and envelope scales
+with D. The parabolic profile retains the same normalized wall coordinate.
+This preserves the existing ghost-source boundary convention, without asserting
+that it is an exact continuum open-boundary location.
+
+Warmup=2048000 and response=2400000 native steps at D40: the SAME256 and300
+D/U durations as D20, including60 natural periods after release. Compare the
+six50-D/U blocks and the common final100-D/U window. Report max absolute y/D,
+half-range, RMS, frequency and drift; peak-to-peak is not amplitude. No settling
+claim follows from completion. Keep raw individual CME/Wen/node terms and all
+crossing/fallback counters. Normalize net force by .5*rho*U^2*D in each case.
+Report native crossing/non-crossing force increments separately, plus D40
+four-step block means aligned with D20 intervals (diagnostic only, never replace
+the raw spikes). Report final-window high-frequency variance above f*D/U=1,
+using demeaned FFT Parseval weights, with the same physical cutoff for both cases.
+Different motion histories confound spike-size comparisons; this is simultaneous
+space/time/Mach refinement, not proof of a unique coarse-grid cause.
+
+Only one full D40 M2 is initially scheduled, after CPU checks and a32+32-step
+smoke. Stop on the unchanged geometry/speed/nonfinite/no_donor checks or a7200s
+whole-case wall cap; save completed rows and status. The velocity cap scales to
+.025 so its physical bound is unchanged. No force filtering, trajectory clipping,
+automatic parameter search or extension. Scalar history is288MB; no full fields
+or DDF snapshots are written. Two FP32 population buffers require about188MiB,
+before flags, moving tables and context overhead; measure actual peak usage in
+the smoke and full run. Keep all D20 outcomes. No production source changes.
