MK· The Loop Meets the Microwave Network

Honest labeling — simulated network, real logic · tap to read the caveats
Honest labeling: the network below is simulated (topology, ITU-R rain physics, alarms). The diagnosis runbook, blast-radius gate, verify/rollback contracts and the agent breaker are the real logic, running live in your browser — no data leaves this page. "Agentic" here means software that closes the loop itself (observes, decides, acts, verifies) — not an SNMP agent. Simplifications, stated up front: ATPC is modeled on traditional bands (TX rises to hold RSL until saturation; E-band runs without); multipath/ducting and wet-radome effects remain out of scope — the article covers how each would change the runbook.

Region healthy. Inject a scenario on the left.

Layer 3 — gated proposals awaiting a human

Nothing pending. Actions inside policy fire automatically; anything bigger lands here.
