Summary

In order to understand TAU, and to know where it is damaged and how to fix it, we must first know how it works. This is a very large project, of which this particular project is only the first step.

There are several electronic systems thoughout the cluster, particularly in Labspace. We know where they are (considering we're constantly repairing them), but we do not know what they are. In order to understand what they are, what they do, and most importantly, what their purpose is, we must learn two things:

What does each substation actually do? How are they connected to eachother?

It is possible to determine the answers to both questions by careful analysis of EM emissions and communications along the fiber interconnects. Further information can be gained by through examination of the components themselves, including penetrating scans (XRay, Gamma, Tera, or similar).

Status

Planning Stage - Designing the tools required to observe, record, and document the various emissions of the electronic systems.

Tools: EM scanner, to detect and record EM emissions. Signal Analyzer, to intercept and record fiber optic communications. Penetrating Scanner, to scan the inner structure of electronic nodes.

Future Steps: Production Stage - Production of the tools. Several will be needed. Data Collection - Using the tools to collect data on each of the electronic systems in Labspace. Analysis - Analysis of the collected data.

How you can help

At this time, we need people to help with the design of the emission recorder.
