Per the v3 units ruling, stored is bandwidth-seconds and draw-gen is bandwidth
per second, so stored/(draw-gen) is literally how long until the lights go out.
Tremor ramps over the last 8 seconds. That reads correct at every factory size
for free: 1000/s with 4000 banked feels exactly as doomed as 10/s with 40.
A factory in surplus is always calm, which is also what keeps the boot state
(gen=draw=stored=0) sterile by construction rather than by special case.
Fever averages only the machines that run hot, so one glowing decoder is not
drowned by a sea of cold belts.
Pure and snapshot-shaped so the sterile guarantee is a test, not a promise.
