Fast local dynamics → Hot zone (immediate resolution) Intermediate scales → Warm zone (batch processing with redundancy) Slow/rare events → Cold zone (background search) The FAMM scar system learns domain-agnostic patterns:

"This region blows up in NS" ↔ "This force field diverges in MD" ↔ "This mesh locks in FEA" Same geometric structure, different physics labels Your thermal manifold is physics-agnostic infrastructure—it doesn't care if the information is vorticity, electron density, or stress tensor. It only cares about:

Temporal scale (fast vs slow) Spatial locality (concentrated vs diffuse) Convergence history (scar density) Verification requirements (receipts needed) One ZFS pool. Any physics. Universal scars.
