Healthy-Channel Connectivity (HCC)
Whether the honest surfaces form a continuous channel a user can actually move through, or isolated islands cut off by manipulative ground.
Interpretation
This metric provides operational visibility into reach & coverage performance. Changes in value should be interpreted in the context of current threat levels and recent counter-operations. GOVERNOR uses this reading alongside related metrics to maintain a composite picture of directorate readiness.
Formula
Thresholds & Bands
| Band | Range | State |
|---|---|---|
| Connected | ≥ 65 | ok |
| Fragmented | 40-65 | warn |
| Isolated | < 40 | crit |
Data Collection
Collected by the Instrumentation Mesh probe network. Each mesh node reports raw readings at its configured interval; the relay layer deduplicates and forwards to GOVERNOR for smoothing and threshold evaluation.
GOVERNOR Behavior
Connected (≥ 65): GOVERNOR logs the reading, updates the standing dashboard, and takes no further action. Fragmented (40-65): GOVERNOR escalates to an advisory notification. The on-duty watch officer receives an alert, and the metric is flagged in the next Steward briefing if the condition persists for two consecutive reporting periods. Isolated (< 40): GOVERNOR triggers an immediate escalation. The Steward is notified directly, the relevant department head is paged, and all related dashboards enter amber-alert mode until the reading recovers above the warning threshold.
