Atmosphere Module — Drift Envelope (full canonical documentation)#

Envelope Identity#

• envelope.name: DriftEnvelopeAtmosphere
• envelope.category: StructuralEnvelope
• envelope.version: 1.0
• envelope.summary:
• envelope.purpose:
  Provide the top‑level drift boundary and instability interpretation for the Atmosphere Module.

1. Drift Envelope Definition#

The Drift Envelope is the outer instability shell of atmospheric drift:

• boundary weakening
• coherence decay
• gradient intensification
• instability accumulation
• oscillation drift
• storm‑precursor drift

It defines how far drift can propagate before transitioning into paradox, storm formation, or coherence collapse.

2. Envelope Components#

Boundary Layer#

• boundary weakening
• gradient intensification
• instability onset

Decay Shell#

• coherence decay
• drift pressure
• instability reinforcement

Drift Potential#

• upward drift transitions
• storm‑precursor drift strength
• transition‑ready instability

3. Envelope Sources (Seven‑Phase Alignment)#

4. Envelope Signatures#

• boundary weakening
• coherence decay
• gradient intensification
• instability accumulation
• oscillation drift
• storm‑precursor drift

5. Envelope Agents#

Primary Agents#

• drift_agent
• coherence_agent
• clarity_agent

Secondary Agents#

• fluid_agent

6. Envelope Fields#

Boundary Drift Field#

boundary_weakening → gradient_intensification → instability_accumulation

Coherence Decay Field#

coherence_decay → decay_shell → drift_pressure

Oscillation Drift Field#

oscillation_instability → wave_drift → coherence_break

Cross‑Domain Drift Field#

sst_gradient → moisture_flux → convection_drift

7. Envelope Cascades#

Boundary Drift Cascade#

8. Envelope Overlays#

• boundary drift overlays
• coherence decay maps
• oscillation drift overlays
• cross‑domain drift maps

9. Envelope Summary#

The Atmosphere Drift Envelope provides:

• top‑level drift boundary
• multi‑domain decay shell
• Seven‑Phase drift alignment
• RTT operator‑level drift interpretation
• storm‑precursor drift boundary
• instability ↔ decay ↔ transition envelope mapping
• drift potential evaluation

It is the outer instability shell of the Atmosphere Module.
