How the agent scene and macro telemetry differ

Read the explanation

The macro telemetry weights saved reef efficiency point eight two and lagoon efficiency point one eight by their habitat fractions. At thirty percent reef it computes point three seven two, or thirty seven point two percent. At sixty percent reef it computes fifty six point four percent. The bars use six pixels per percentage point. The initial saved field point three four eight is replaced by this function, so it is not the calculated default. These efficiencies are authored simulation constants, not independently measured ecosystem outcomes or evidence that releasing animals is effective. At twenty two degrees the temperature multiplier is one point one two. With the initial eighty thousand cohort and weighted rate point three seven two, the macro growth bracket is point zero seven nine two four. At time speed two it is multiplied by point zero eight, producing a biomass factor one point zero zero six three three nine two. The bars compare a fourteen point five initial biomass with about fourteen point five nine after one such update at twenty pixels per unit. Slider handlers call this macro update even while the visual agent loop is paused. Those steps are source operations, not elapsed real months or field observations. Initialization creates sixty five visible crab agents and forty five visible octopus agents, while macro telemetry independently stores an eighty thousand octopus cohort. Visible hunts do not decrement that macro population directly; the macro function applies a habitat based decay equation instead. The bars compare sixty five and forty five sprites at five pixels per sprite. The exported ecological verdict is fixed prose, not recomputed from every parameter or observed outcome. Interpret the canvas as an illustrative agent scene and the telemetry as a separate authored macro model. Neither proves biological effectiveness, safe stocking practice or real harvest losses.
