Conditions: Basic glow duration, 500 samples
Result: Hour-12 brightness 18.4. Glow faded too quickly.
Lesson: Needed deeper energy storage and active boost.
Conditions: Basic glow duration, v1.1 extended + active boost
Result: Hour-12 brightness 49.6. 500/500 samples above useful threshold.
Lesson: Active boost and deeper traps hold light all night.
Conditions: Complex seasonal/weather/shade, 500 locations, 1 year
Result: 0/500 sites met 80% good-night criterion. Shade/winter too weak.
Lesson: Needed low-light, thermal, kinetic harvesting.
Conditions: Complex seasonal/weather/shade, v1.2 low-light + thermal + kinetic
Result: 100% good nights across all installation types.
Lesson: Multiple energy sources create resilience.
Conditions: Super complex 10-year climate/degradation
Result: 392/1000 sites met criterion. Vertical walls and long-term decline weak.
Lesson: Needed multi-angle capture, degradation resistance, modular replacement.
Conditions: Super complex 10-year, v1.3 multi-angle + degradation-resistant + modular
Result: 85.8% average good-night ratio. 883/1000 sites reliable over a decade.
Lesson: The evolved species is now a decade-long all-weather light source.
