Candidate for Θ_FR(Π) — recorded, not tested THERMAL COUPLING.ipynb
# PROJECT NOTE — SANDBOX BOUNDARY AND ACTIVE STATUS **Date:** 31 October 2026 **Target:** `THERMAL COUPLING.ipynb` (new Markdown cell, top of notebook) **Purpose:** Prevent cross-sandbox contamination, preserve continuity, and state the exact status of the thermal investigation. --- ## 1. What this notebook is This is the **independent thermal-coupling sandbox**. It is separate from: - `FREE THE CAT #3.ipynb` (historical, frozen) - `FREE THE CAT #4 - Coordinate-Free Tensor Sandbox.ipynb` (historical, frozen legacy reference) - `Coordinate-Free Tensor Sandbox.ipynb` (separate tensor-mechanics investigation) - `FINITE RESPONSE COUPLED MONAD Π DYNAMICS COORDINATE-FREE SUCCESSOR MODEL.ipynb` (active successor assembly) Results, formulas, or assumptions from those notebooks must not be silently imported into this one. The four sandboxes are independent research lineages, not sequential versions of one implementation. ## 2. Ontology (inherited, non-negotiable) - **Π is the universe i...
