Comparing space environments

The same model generating the same text, run under different space environments. More radiation should mean more scrambled output. A higher "scramble score" means the output drifted further from the undamaged version.

LEO

Low Earth Orbit — well shielded by Earth's magnetic field; the calm baseline.

POLAR

Polar orbit — exposed at the magnetic poles.

SAA

South Atlantic Anomaly — a region where the radiation belts dip low; a hotspot.

SOLAR_STORM

Solar storm — a flare dumps a huge burst of particles; worst case.

How scrambled the output got, over the run

Each line is one environment. Left-to-right is time; higher is more scrambled. Calm orbits hug the bottom; storms climb.

Average damage, by environment

One bar per environment — taller means more damage overall (average scramble score, labelled "mean KL").
