Modeling Decisions
Six forks, each defended
Each methodological choice in the model is a fork with real alternatives. The cards lay out the options, what was chosen and why, and the literature behind it. Where a counter-argument held up, the alternative is kept as a structural-uncertainty variant.
Provenance & caveats
The six decisions that define the model — melt physics, spatial structure, geometry evolution, the dual ice-thickness track, calibration, and build platform. Each is a fork with its alternatives weighed and its literature cited; where an alternative held up it is carried as a structural-uncertainty variant.
