The Conveyor Belt

Adjust tension. Read the wear gauge. Listen to the bearing. Stop the belt before it fails. The math was always under your hands.

A conveyor belt contains the full EML hierarchy. Belt segments are discrete (EML-0). Tension follows exponential stress curves (EML-1). Wear depth is measured logarithmically (EML-2). Bearing vibration is an oscillatory signature (EML-3). Catastrophic failure is EML-∞ onset — the threshold where finite measurements no longer predict the cascade. Read EML-2 (wear depth) and EML-3 (vibration) together. Stop before the threshold.
