ANNEAL · QUENCH RACE
QUENCH (merge at α=1: T drops instantly)
E = — · defects locked: —
ANNEAL (α-search: slow cool)
E = — · defects locked: —
press space to run the race
space run race · R new random seed · same lattice, same heat — only the cooling schedule differs
rapid cooling locks in defects; slow annealing finds the crystal. merging Δ at identity vs searching α is the same physics.
