Dane Sabo 5050b9e71e fat-entry scram: n decays 0.047→0.009 over 60s from fat X_entry
Scram PJ reach from the bounding-box union of:
  - hot-standby box (mode_boundaries.q_shutdown)
  - heatup-tight reach envelope (results/reach_heatup_pj_tight.mat)
  - operation-LQR reach envelope (results/reach_operation_result.mat)
  - LOCA operation envelope (results/reach_loca_operation.mat, 3s)

with precursor + temperature outliers clamped to physical bounds.

Results at probe horizons:
  T=10s: 10890 sets in 480s wall — n ∈ [-8e-4, 0.047]   T_c [231, 362]
  T=30s: 16925 sets in 2892s wall — n ∈ [-4e-4, 0.021]  T_c [229, 361]
  T=60s: 23919 sets in 705s wall  — n ∈ [-2e-4, 0.009]  T_c [226, 359]

Monotone n decay, factor-of-5-per-minute even from the wide union.
This is the defensible scram-obligation version: starts from anywhere
the plant could plausibly be (including LOCA-perturbed operation
state), proves n decays. X_exit(scram)=n≤1e-4 still not reached in
60s — same T_max-vs-plant-decay mismatch previously flagged.

Fixed: missing Printf import that had failed the summary block on the
first run (results still computed correctly, just the final print
errored; the matwrite is after the print so the mat file wasn't
saved on that run).

Journal entry for 2026-04-21 extended with the fat-entry result +
the LOCA-reach 3s-horizon numerical-looseness apass. 38 pages.

pwr-hybrid-3-demo

Preliminary example for the HAHACS thesis — a verified hybrid controller for a small modular PWR startup. Composes three layers into one demonstrable pipeline:

  • Discrete layer (fret-pipeline/): FRET natural-language requirements → LTL → synthesized AIGER controller → state-machine diagram.
  • Continuous layer (code/): 10-state point kinetic equation + thermal-hydraulics PWR model with bounded steam-generator heat removal as the disturbance input. Controllers, linearization, LQR, reach-tube propagator, Lyapunov barrier — all Julia.
  • Verification artifacts (reachability/): predicate concretizations (single source of truth in predicates.json) and the standalone reach analysis writeup (WALKTHROUGH.md).
  • Research context (thesis/): the HAHACS PhD proposal.
  • Lab journal (journal/): chronological invention log in LaTeX.
  • Predicate explorer app (app/): Pluto.jl notebook bridging FRET predicates and continuous-state halfspaces.

Quickstart

Clone with submodules:

git clone --recurse-submodules <url>
cd pwr-hybrid-3-demo

Run the controller synthesis pipeline:

cd fret-pipeline
python3 scripts/fret_to_synth.py pwr_hybrid_3.json specs/synthesis_config_v3.json
bash scripts/synthesize.sh specs/synthesis_config_v3.json circuits
python3 scripts/trace_aiger.py circuits/PWR_HYBRID_3_DRC.aag diagrams
dot -Tpng diagrams/PWR_HYBRID_3_DRC_states.dot -o diagrams/PWR_HYBRID_3_DRC_states.png

Run the plant model and reach analysis:

cd code
julia --project=. -e 'using Pkg; Pkg.instantiate()'    # first time only

julia --project=. scripts/main_mode_sweep.jl           # all 5 DRC modes
julia --project=. scripts/reach_operation.jl           # operation-mode linear reach
julia --project=. scripts/barrier_lyapunov.jl          # Lyapunov barrier
julia --project=. scripts/barrier_compare_OL_CL.jl     # OL vs CL barrier
julia --project=. scripts/reach_heatup_nonlinear.jl    # nonlinear heatup (10s cap)

Open the predicate explorer:

cd app
julia --project=. -e 'using Pluto; Pluto.run()'
# Browser opens; navigate to predicate_explorer.jl

Soundness note: the current reach tubes are over-approximations of the LINEAR model, not sound over-approximations of the nonlinear plant. See reachability/README.md and reachability/WALKTHROUGH.md.

Prerequisites

  • Julia 1.10+ (via juliaup).
  • Python 3.10+ (FRET pipeline only).
  • Spot for ltlsynt (brew install spot).
  • Graphviz for dot (brew install graphviz).
  • LaTeX (via latexmk) for the thesis + journal builds.
