Monitoring Systems Overview
The facility's nervous system. Every specimen, vault, loop, and zone is continuously observed, transported, reasoned over, and — where authorized — acted upon. This page indexes the controlled specifications and shows live-style status across the stack.
Telemetry Architecture
Data flows through four engineered tiers in a closed loop. Median sense-to-store latency is 38 ms; median sense-to-actuation latency is 812 ms at p95.
① Sensing → PhytoSense Mesh nodes + Spectral Canopy Array
↓ (edge filter, timestamp, sign)
② Transport → Mycelial Data Fabric — self-healing mesh, PTP time-sync
↓ (stream + tiered storage)
③ Reasoning → CHLORA control plane — anomaly, prediction, decision
↓ (advisory or autonomous)
④ Response → Dashboards · Alarm Matrix · Climate/Irrigation/Containment actuators

Alarm Escalation — Overview
Five severity tiers govern response. Full per-condition detail lives in the Alarm & Escalation Matrix.
| Tier | Meaning | Auto-Response | First Notify | Escalate If Unacked |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| INFO | Logged deviation, within band | Record only | Dashboard | — |
| WATCH | Approaching threshold | Trend flag, tighten sampling | ENG-NOC | 30 min |
| CAUTION | Threshold crossed, recoverable | CHLORA advisory action | Zone Lead + NOC | 10 min |
| CRITICAL | Specimen / loop at risk | Autonomous mitigation | Duty Manager + NOC | 3 min |
| BREACH | Containment / safety event | Lockdown interlocks fire | Incident Commander + CBO | Immediate page |
