W₀ Warmth Carrier

The W₀ Carrier defines the thermodynamic substrate that maintains the minimum warmth required for reversible human–system coupling. It stabilizes W₀ thresholds, prevents ΔR drift, and enables sustained ambience formation within the Ambient Architecture F-Layer.

Core Functions

• W₀ Threshold Stabilization — Maintains minimum warmth required for reversibility.
• DR Drift Prevention — Keeps ΔR within a bounded, recoverable range.
• Ambience Support — Enables smooth transition into low-dissipation regimes.
• AURA Compatibility — Provides the thermal coherence required for AURA-1 synchronization.

Specification Summary

1. Threshold Carrier

Holds the W₀ boundary condition that determines whether interaction remains reversible or enters drift. Without a W₀ Carrier, ambience cannot form.

2. Reversibility Anchor

Prevents ΔR instability by regulating warmth against dissipation and leakage. Essential for humane interfaces and stable cognitive coupling.

3. Ambient Interface Enabler

Once W₀ is stable, the system transitions into low-dissipation ambience, which forms the foundation for AURA-level coherence.

4. AURA-1 Thermal Substrate

AURA synchronization requires a stable thermal carrier; the W₀ Carrier provides this substrate and ensures cross-device coherence.
