🛠️ 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.
