Autonomous self-healing loops & radiation resilience in 30-year space systems
Architectural analysis of the 6-stage autonomous decision loop (DETECT → DIAGNOSE → REPAIR → ADAPT → RECORD → COMMUNICATE) for multi-decade deep-space probes.

This technical essay by Rahuul Kalappatt details the underlying system architecture, constraints, and empirical principles behind autonomous self-healing loops & radiation resilience in 30-year space systems.
In complex software systems—whether operating in quantitative financial markets or autonomous long-duration deep-space environments—reliability stems from strict state isolation, deterministic recovery loops, and explicit failure domain boundaries.
