Thermodynamics Trace — Atmosphere Module

TriadicFrameworks Canon

The Thermodynamics Trace records chronological thermodynamic events across micro → meso → macro → mega scales. It logs gradient interpretation, flux evaluation, radiative balance checks, phase‑change boundary detection, operator activation, and regime classification.

It is the human‑readable companion to:

• thermodynamics_trace.json
• thermodynamics_trace.min.json
• thermodynamics_trace.schema.json
