Capacity, Throughput, and Recovery Bandwidth

Many experiences can be modeled as constraints on capacity and flow rather than as “symptoms”.

• throughput: effective processing speed
• buffer_depth: reserve capacity before overload
• recovery_rate: restoration speed
• latency_spike: temporary delay during high load

In narrative replay, these variables explain “why” a chain drifted (e.g., decisions became slow, avoidance increased, rework rose).
