# Simulation update for 02 Nov 2026

_Updated daily. Generated 2026-11-02 06:00 UTC from the last 24 hours of run records and lab metrics._

The simulation ran without interruption through the last 24 hours, advancing the orbital clock to day 26.1 of the 30-day window and logging 2,872 steps at roughly 30 seconds of wall time per 20-second step. Conditions across the fabric were steady: around 209 of the 2,488 pre-wired links were lit at any moment, with satellites handing customers and gateways between beams about 10,030 times over the day and 5,645 measured paths re-routing as a result.

Visibility on the measured paths was patchy in places: OneWeb1 → OneWeb4, StarcloudDC1 → gnd-starlink reachable 93 % and 59 % of the time (see the table), the rest close to continuous. The quickest crossing was StarcloudDC1 → LonestarDC1 at about 98 ms, the longest Kepler1 → Kepler12 at about 270 ms.

The AI path selector scored 2,872 more steps today and is now clearly ahead of OSPF, choosing paths that cost 0.2 ms of regret against OSPF's 10.1 ms; it agreed with OSPF's choice 87 % of the time and disagreed where it saw a link about to drop. Nearly every path it chose survived its full horizon (100.0 % against OSPF's 93.1 %). Its lead over OSPF shrank through the day.

Outlook: unsettled — pair reachability 95.5 %; the run continues and nothing needs intervention unless it persists.
