Toroidal Geometric Rectifier

Empirical disproof of linear-response

What you're looking at

Standard plasma physics expects an L-H transition: turbulent flows generate shear, shear suppresses turbulence — a linear-response feedback loop with a discrete threshold.

This widget shows what the Tokamak architecture does instead. Above a low drive threshold, the accumulator saturates and the system snaps into a fixed geometric attractor set by the underlying safety-factor profile, not by the input. Push the drive harder once locked — nothing changes. The system stops responding to the input.

Turbulent State
Stochastic Drive (Input) 0.20
0.20
Accumulator
Chaotic
Dominant Mode (m)
Core Safety Factor (q₀) 1.2
Edge Shear (q₁) 2.0

Target Mode m ≈ q₀ + q₁ / 2

Qualitative visualization of the saturating-homeostat mechanism reported in Tokamak v1.2 (Zenodo). The exact control law is held proprietary; this widget reproduces only the macroscopic behavior demonstrated empirically.
