Hypergravity-Habitat

Figure Register

Project: Hypergravity Habitat
Purpose: track figure sources, assumptions, and verification status
Rule: no figure without source


1. Figure Source Policy

Every figure must have:

Rendered graphics should be reproducible from the source files.

3. Assumption Summary

FIG-001

Assumes a terrestrial circular platform where Earth gravity and centripetal acceleration are perpendicular components. Uses:

g_eff = √(g² + a_c²)
θ = arctan(a_c / g)

FIG-002

Uses staged development logic from roadmap, minimum demonstrator, and experimental programme documents. It is a programme-flow diagram, not an engineering proof.

FIG-003

Uses architecture categories and recommendations from the architecture trade study. Scores are intentionally not shown until a formal weighted trade study exists.

FIG-004

Shows safety-case argument structure. It does not assert that any system is safe.

FIG-005

Shows how unmeasured platform effects can invalidate biological, human, or sports-science interpretations.

FIG-006

Numerical plots are generated from equations in docs/physics-reference.md. Values are first-order concept-screening outputs, not final engineering values.


4. Rendering Rule

When a figure is rendered to SVG/PNG/PDF, add a metadata comment or caption:

Figure ID: FIG-XXX
Generated from: <source file>
Source basis: <document/script list>
Generated on: YYYY-MM-DD
Limitations: first-order / conceptual / not to scale / etc.

5. Status

The register is now active. Future diagrams should be added here before being used in proposal material.
