Temperature Balls

Type: intangible | Extends: Temperature
PROBLEM

The temperature is somewhere. The balls are also somewhere. These are the same somewhere.

SOLUTION
Temperature Balls is the MTREES primary thermal awareness intangible — the root node of the Ball Temperature Protocol stack, responsible for establishing that a temperature exists, that balls are present, and that the relationship between these two facts is neither coincidental nor resolvable by ignoring either one. Temperature Balls does not escalate. Temperature Balls is aware. It receives live telemetry from comp_temperature, confirms anatomical presence via comp_balls, and routes the combined reading to the appropriate tier classification node based on current threshold breach status. The tier nodes handle the consequences. Temperature Balls handles the acknowledgment. These are different jobs and the system has been engineered to keep them separate, which is the only thing keeping the system from reporting everything at once at the highest possible volume.

        "description": "Temperature is a passive and active thermal sensing and reporting component providing real-time surface, ambient, and internal temperature telemetry to downstream thermal management, alert, and classification systems. The sensor array supports thermistor, thermocouple, and infrared non-contact measurement configurations depending on whether the target surface is accessible, cooperative, or aware that it is being measured. Output is delivered in degrees Celsius to the operational layer, which converts to Fahrenheit for the American market and to Kelvin for applications where the number needs to be larger and more alarming. Temperature does not regulate. Temperature observes and reports. Regulation is someone else's job and Temperature has made peace with this division of responsibility. Calibration is factory-set and field-verifiable against a reference standard that is included in the documentation and not included in the box. Operational range covers -40\u00b0C to 200\u00b0C, which is wider than any deployment scenario this component is likely to encounter and which was specified that way because the engineers did not want to have the conversation again."
