Papers and software

Papers and software from the closed TIN program, plus related logistics notes. TIN studied delay-tolerant networks: links that exist on a schedule, traffic that waits out the gaps. Public code and replay artifacts support the checks they contain; the internal engine remains private.

White paper · June 2026

Replay-Based Delivery Assurance for Delay-Tolerant Networks: Invariance You Can Check

Replay a frozen contact plan and check that delivered outcomes stay within preregistered statistical bounds. Certificates with explicit radii, not point estimates.

DOI 10.5281/zenodo.20653331

Working paper · v7.5

A Classification Framework for Temporal Contact Graphs: Morphology, Confinement, and the Routing Efficiency Frontier

Sorts temporal contact graphs by morphology and confinement, and maps the routing-efficiency frontier across the resulting families.

DOI 10.5281/zenodo.18851385

The TIN/percolation program closed in June 2026. Fourteen further records from that program remain on Zenodo as provenance for the closed program; they are not maintained and are not listed here.

What Schedule-Aware Bundle Routing pins down, and what it defers

A regime-indexed characterization of CCSDS 734.3-B-1 under a machine-checked reference and differential measurement against ION 4.1.4. The certification question dissolves into five enumerated places where two conformant implementations can still differ; volume numbers are under letter semantics and ship with their report artifacts. Cite the concept DOI (resolves to the current version).

Artemis II: Scheduled Allocation vs Public Record

The first quantified ground-segment allocation for a crewed cislunar mission: 267.1 scheduled DSN antenna-hours at Canberra over nine days, half a 70-meter antenna’s calendar — measured from public feeds we archive hourly, scored against the public record, with evidence-class tags and a falsifier table. REV E sources the DSS-14 outage cause to the public DSE downtime feed (approved 2026-03-02 through 2028-05-05). The full archive and every derived artifact ship with it.

Artemis 3–5, Gateway, and the World’s Lunar Programs

A first-principles audit of NASA’s post–Artemis II architecture: what the Gateway pause actually means, which modules physically exist, the surface-first Moon Base plan, and how China’s ILRS track compares. The load-bearing claims carry evidence-class tags and explicit falsifiers; every schedule claim is dated.

You Cannot Ship Propellant to Jupiter

Same result, two treatments. The essay is the long form — covered wagons and scheduled networks: why adding a route can make a rail system worse, and why space route topology has to be right the first time. The brief is short and decision-oriented — cryogenic supply-chain feasibility for the outer system; fewer than 3 of every 100 tonnes dispatched arrive.

Software

Code that backs the claims

Software · GitHub · MIT

TIN — Tolerant Interplanetary Network

Contact-plan routing code: scenario configuration, routing over scheduled links, curated result artifacts, and a verifier that reports which published claim families are checkable from what ships. Tests run in CI on every push.
