Thermodynamics Diagnostic — Atmosphere Module#

TriadicFrameworks Canon

The Thermodynamics Diagnostic evaluates atmospheric energy behavior across micro → meso → macro → mega scales. It interprets temperature gradients, energy flux pathways, radiative balance, and phase‑change boundaries. It is the human‑readable companion to:

• thermodynamics_diagnostic.json
• thermodynamics_diagnostic.min.json
• thermodynamics_diagnostic.schema.json
• thermodynamics_diagnostic.example.json
• thermodynamics_map.md
• thermodynamics_envelope.md
• thermodynamics_trace.md

1. Diagnostic Purpose#

The Thermodynamics Diagnostic provides:

• temperature gradient interpretation
• energy flux evaluation
• radiative balance assessment
• phase‑change boundary detection
• operator‑aligned thermodynamic signatures
• stability and regime classification

It is used by envelopes, maps, and traces to interpret thermodynamic behavior.
