Energy OS — General Energy / Power Grid Lane (Almost-Code Canonical)

Definition Lock (Canonical)
Energy is the reliability substrate for all other lanes.
It works only when generation, transmission, distribution, and restoration remain P3-reliable under load across Z0–Z3.
Energy failure is a frequency/voltage/throughput stability failure that rapidly cascades into every lane.

Coordinate Grammar (Lock)

<Place> × ENE × Z{0–3} × P{0–3} × Type × ID

Type = NODE | DIR | BIND | LOOP | SENSOR | TEST | TOOL | POLICY

1) Energy Lane Directory (Root)

DIR: ENE.DIR.LANE.v0_1
LANE: Energy / Power Grid
MISSION:
- deliver stable power with bounded outage tail
- absorb shocks (demand spikes, faults, fuel disruption)
STACK:
- Z0: generation + protection systems (ground truth)
- Z1: substations, distribution, maintenance workforce
- Z2: grid control plane (balancing, dispatch, restoration)
- Z3: civilisation interface (lane survivability under outage)
OUTPUT:
- ENE.Z3.P3.NODE.ENERGY_STABILITY.v0_1

2) Z0 — Generation & Protection (Ground Truth)

DIR: ENE.Z0.DIR.GENERATION.v0_1
NODES:
- ENE.Z0.NODE.GENERATION_UNITS.v0_1
- ENE.Z0.NODE.PROTECTION_RELAYS.v0_1
- ENE.Z0.NODE.FREQUENCY_CONTROL.v0_1
- ENE.Z0.NODE.VOLTAGE_CONTROL.v0_1
- ENE.Z0.NODE.BLACKSTART_CAPABILITY.v0_1

Z0 Reliability States

TEST: ENE.Z0.TEST.P_SCORE.v0_1
P0: uncontrolled outages / grid instability events
P1: stability depends on hero operators/manual intervention
P2: stable normally; brittle under compound faults
P3: stable under surge + faults; rapid containment

Z0 Sensors (Physics Truth)

SENSOR: ENE.Z0.SENSOR.GRID_PHYSICS.v0_1
MEASURES:
- frequency deviation events
- voltage sag events
- fault rate by asset class
- reserve margin (spinning/non-spinning)
RULE:
- “capacity installed” ≠ “capacity available under load”

3) Z1 — Substations, Distribution, Maintenance Workforce (Regeneration Layer)

DIR: ENE.Z1.DIR.DISTRIBUTION.v0_1
NODES:
- ENE.Z1.NODE.SUBSTATIONS.v0_1
- ENE.Z1.NODE.DISTRIBUTION_LINES.v0_1
- ENE.Z1.NODE.TRANSFORMERS.v0_1
- ENE.Z1.NODE.FIELD_CREWS.v0_1
- ENE.Z1.NODE.SPARE_PARTS_LOGISTICS.v0_1

Z1 Core Failure Mode: Deferred Grid Maintenance

NODE: ENE.Z1.P1.NODE.DEFERRED_MAINTENANCE.v0_1
TRIGGER:
- maintenance postponed; spares thin; crews undersized
EFFECT:
- fault frequency rises
- restoration times lengthen
RESULT:
- slow attrition collapse of reliability

Z1 Buffer Bind (Crew + Spares = Recovery Speed)

BIND: ENE.Z1.BIND.RECOVERY_BUFFERS.v0_1
REQUIRES:
- surge crew capacity
- stocked critical spares
- mutual aid agreements (where applicable)
FAILURE:
- outage tail becomes long and socially destabilizing

4) Z2 — Grid Control Plane (Balancing, Dispatch, Restoration)

NODE: ENE.Z2.P3.NODE.GRID_CONTROL.v0_1
FUNCTIONS:
- dispatch generation to match demand
- contingency planning (N-1, N-2 style resilience logic)
- isolate faults (containment)
- restoration sequencing (blackstart → core → distribution)

Z2 Sensors (System Reliability)

SENSOR: ENE.Z2.SENSOR.RELIABILITY.v0_1
MEASURES:
- SAIDI/SAIFI-like outage metrics (tail matters)
- restoration time distribution
- reserve margin under peak
- congestion / bottleneck loading

Z2 Truncation & Stitching (Energy)

LOOP: ENE.Z2.LOOP.TRUNCATE_STITCH.v0_1
TRUNCATE:
- shed load selectively before uncontrolled collapse
STITCH:
- restore core nodes first (hospitals, water, comms)
- then re-energize distribution in phases
GOAL:
- prevent cascading blackout

5) Z3 — Civilisation Interface (Lane Survivability Under Outage)

NODE: ENE.Z3.P3.NODE.ENERGY_STABILITY.v0_1
RESPONSIBILITIES:
- guarantee power for critical lanes (HLT, WAT, COMMS, SEC)
- keep households stable during disruptions
- prevent economic paralysis from long outage tails

Z3 Collapse Condition (Energy)

TEST: ENE.Z3.TEST.COLLAPSE.v0_1
IF:
- outage tail exceeds societal tolerance repeatedly
OR
- critical services lose power during shocks
THEN:
- cascading lane failures (water, health, security, finance)
NOTE:
- energy is a base substrate: failure propagates fastest

6) Common Energy Inversions (Failure Signatures)

DIR: ENE.DIR.INVERSION_TESTS.v0_1
INVERSION_1:
- more generation capacity, worse reliability (distribution/control failure)
INVERSION_2:
- “efficiency” removes reserves (buffer thinning)
INVERSION_3:
- renewables added without balancing/storage upgrades (phase mismatch)
INVERSION_4:
- reliability metrics improve while tail events worsen (masking)

7) Minimal Viable Energy (MVE)

NODE: ENE.Z2.NODE.MVE.v0_1
REQUIRES:
- stable Z0 frequency/voltage control
- Z1 maintenance + spares + crews

- maximal complexity
- maximal market fragmentation

10) Canonical Claim (Lock)

Energy collapses when reserves, maintenance, and control lose Phase alignment under load.
