Rule-based reconfiguration

Permanent communication loss evaluation

Fault: Communication loss
Duration: Permanent
Recovery mechanism: Rule-based reconfiguration

Experiment definition

The experiment evaluates Rule-based reconfiguration under a permanent communication loss injection. Fault onset is randomized between environment steps 40 and 60.

Experimental trajectory graphs

One representative seed (seed 0 of 8) per target × mode combination from the full sweep. See the Results page for the multi-seed aggregate comparison across mechanisms. The graphs for every seed are archived at doi:10.5281/zenodo.23304785 (files available from 10 November 2026).
