• Environmental susceptibility: how easily the coupled near-Earth system can be pushed into stronger response.
• Constraint compression or expansion: whether the operating envelope is tightening or loosening.
• Change rate: whether the field state is drifting toward more fragile or more stable structure.

• It does not forecast specific solar eruptions, geomagnetic storms, or launch outcomes.
• It does not guarantee a disturbance will happen just because the field state is tightening.
• It does not replace mission-specific operational modeling.

• `RFS` is the current bounded scalar shown in the Field Status view.
• `phase_band` is the live regime signal used as the source of truth for the displayed field-state label.
• `delta_f` and `delta_phi` indicate directional movement and structural change context.
• Coverage and freshness help explain whether the visible state is well supported by recent data.

• `TPI` is a backend-derived thermosphere pressure index computed from the live `v1` signal bundle.
• `LWQ` is an environmental tolerance metric, not a launch authorization or go/no-go system.
• `OES` is an environmental stability index, not a mission-grade orbital mechanics assessment. It does not replace dedicated conjunction analysis or orbit determination systems.

RFS-X projects how constraints are expected to evolve over the next 24, 48, and 72 hours using the current field state plus known incoming forcing already visible to the system. These windows describe what conditions are primed for, not what will happen. Confidence decreases with horizon, and every forward projection is currently labeled Experimental.

The CME Earth-impact Probability Score estimates the likelihood and potential severity of meaningful Earth-directed CME impact from what is already detected in the system: CME catalog context, current solar wind conditions, forecast geomagnetic indices, flare activity, and thermosphere preconditioning. It does not predict whether a CME will erupt.

The Cosmic Coupling Index measures how strongly multiple forcing domains are coupled right now. It combines particle context, electromagnetic activity, field geometry, and a research-weighted gravitational term. Values above 1.0 indicate enhanced coupling consistent with stronger geomagnetic response potential.

Position guidance translates the current state and forward windows into sector-specific operational context for launch and satellite operations, grid and aviation infrastructure, and research measurement quality. It is rule-based and situational. It is not an operational directive.
