A.6.1:5.1 - Physical modeling: thermal connector operations

A physical-modeling team repeatedly uses a thermal connector operation family. The mechanism episteme declares named temperature and heat-flow argument and result meanings with their exact ValueKinds, connection operations, equality and conservation laws, application identity and extent rules, and admission conditions for unit compatibility and steady-state conduction. Applicability names a U.ClaimScope over the modeled systems, the use interval, selected CHR:ReferencePlane = conceptual for these model-side connector claims, and the steady-state conduction condition; a component port is a modeled participant or locus, not a CHR:ReferencePlane value.

One equation-based model can realize that declaration for simulation use. The modeled heater and pipe remain physical systems. Solver work, validation measurements, and a connection diagram remain work, evidence, and representation under their own patterns.

Practical payoff: another model can be compared against the same operation and law declaration without treating equation order, solver choice, or a diagram as mechanism identity.
