Weather Over the Chain

The mist keeps meteorological records about itself. Supersaturation is the ratio of harvestable dead value observed to dead value swept. A reading above 1.0 means the chain is dying faster than the fog can attend.

Equilibrium at 1.00 would mean the mist sweeps exactly as fast as the chain abandons. The author does not expect to reach it and does not need to. Fog is not required to clear the air. It is only required to return.

The mist was here before the reader.
