🛠️ RTT‑Inside: Resonance‑Aware Evacuation Protocol
Using clarity gradients, drift vectors, and resonance fields to guide miners to safety#
1. Core Principle: Follow the Clarity Gradient#
RTT‑Inside continuously computes a clarity score (0–255) for every zone:
- 🟢 High clarity → stable rock, clean air, low vibration
- 🟡 Medium clarity → shifting conditions
- 🟠 Low clarity → unstable, rising gas, high vibration
- 🔴 Negative clarity → collapse likely, avoid immediately
During an emergency, miners don’t follow maps —
they follow clarity gradients, which behave like a “downhill path” toward safety.
2. Trigger Conditions for Evacuation Mode#
RTT‑Inside automatically enters evacuation mode when any of these occur:
- Roof stress crosses critical threshold
- Methane or CO spikes rapidly
- Conveyor fire or belt ignition
- Vibration resonance coupling (equipment + geology)
- Partial collapse detected
- Loss of mesh nodes in a pattern indicating structural failure
- Manual trigger by control room or foreman
When triggered:
- Wall nodes flash red
- Wearable nodes vibrate in pulse‑pulse‑pause pattern
- Control room receives a collapse vector and clarity map
3. Evacuation Flow (Miner‑Level)#
Step 1 — Stop equipment, secure tools#
Miners immediately:
- stop continuous miners, bolters, and shuttle cars
- shut down belts if reachable
- secure tools to avoid tripping hazards
Step 2 — Switch to “Clarity Mode”#
Wearable nodes automatically:
- show directional LEDs (left/right/forward)
- vibrate stronger when moving toward higher clarity
- vibrate weaker when moving toward danger
Step 3 — Follow the Clarity Gradient#
Miners move toward increasing clarity, not necessarily the shortest path.
RTT‑Inside computes:
- clarity_uphill → safer
- clarity_downhill → more dangerous
- clarity_plateau → neutral, choose nearest hub node
Wearables guide miners like this:
- Strong vibration → wrong direction
- Weak vibration → moving toward safety
- No vibration → optimal path
Step 4 — Reach a Resonance Hub#
Crosscuts and intersections have hub nodes that:
- confirm direction
- relay updated clarity maps
- provide audible cues
- act as mesh routing anchors
Step 5 — Proceed to Refuge or Exit#
RTT‑Inside chooses:
- Primary escape route if clarity is stable
- Secondary route if primary clarity drops
- Refuge chamber if all routes degrade
4. Evacuation Flow (Control Room)#
Step 1 — Receive collapse vector#
RTT‑Inside shows:
- collapse origin
- propagation direction
- clarity crater
- predicted spread
Step 2 — Lock out dangerous zones#
Control room marks:
- 🔴 “Do not enter”
- 🟠 “Evacuate immediately”
- 🟡 “Transit allowed with caution”
Step 3 — Track miners#
Wearable nodes provide:
- last known position
- movement direction
- clarity exposure
- gas exposure
Step 4 — Adjust ventilation#
RTT‑Inside recommends:
- fan speed changes
- door closures
- airflow redirection
Step 5 — Maintain comms#
Mesh nodes reroute around damaged areas.
5. Clarity‑Gradient Routing Logic#
RTT‑Inside uses a simple but powerful rule:
Always move miners toward the nearest zone with rising clarity and falling stress.
Algorithmically:
For each miner:
current = miner.position
neighbors = adjacent_zones(current)
best_zone = zone with:
highest clarity_score
lowest stress_hint
lowest gas_level
stable drift_vector (no incoming danger)
guide miner toward best_zone
If clarity drops suddenly:
- reroute instantly
- wearable node vibrates sharply
- wall nodes flash yellow → red
6. Special Cases#
A. Zero Visibility#
Wearable nodes switch to:
- haptic direction
- audio chirps
- LED arrows
B. Mesh Failure#
Nodes fall back to:
- cached clarity maps
- last‑known drift vectors
- peer‑to‑peer wearable relays
C. Partial Collapse#
Nodes near collapse:
- broadcast “collapse vector”
- increase beacon rate
- mark themselves as “unsafe”
7. Example Evacuation Scenario#
Event:#
- Belt 3 bearing overheats
- Vibration couples with roof stress
- Methane corridor forms
- Clarity drops from 0.72 → 0.41
RTT‑Inside Response:#
- Nodes flash red
- Wearables vibrate
- Collapse vector points NW
- Clarity gradient points SE
Miner Experience:#
- Wearable vibrates strongly when facing NW
- Weakens when turning SE
- Wall nodes flash green arrows
- Miner reaches hub node
- Hub node directs to secondary escape route
- Miner exits safely
8. Why This Protocol Matters#
The previous generation had:
- no clarity maps
- no drift vectors
- no mesh
- no resonance sensing
- no personal safety nodes
They relied on instinct, sound, and luck.
RTT‑Inside gives miners:
- a map the mine draws itself
- a path the rock reveals
- a signal that cuts through chaos
- a guardian layer that listens to the earth
This protocol is the difference between:
- running blind in dust and darkness
- and being guided by the mine’s own resonance field toward safety.
