1//! Running several domains at once.
2//!
3//! A domain is a piece of physics that can be stepped: heat in a block of glass,
4//! a rigid body under contact, light through a train of surfaces. Each one knows
5//! its own equations and nothing about the others. This module is how they share
6//! a clock and a budget without knowing about each other.
7//!
8//! # The timescale problem, which is the real one
9//!
10//! Domains do not agree on how big a step is. An explicit FDTD electromagnetic
11//! solver on a nanometre grid is stable to about 10⁻¹⁷ s; heat conduction to about
12//! 10⁻⁹ s; rigid contact to 10⁻⁴ s; and a thermal drift that defocuses an
13//! instrument plays out over seconds. Stepping all of them at the smallest limit
14//! integrates the slow ones ten billion times for nothing.
15//!
16//! Two mechanisms deal with that, and they are the reason this module is not just
17//! a `for` loop over domains:
18//!
19//! - **[`Kind::QuasiStatic`]** — a domain with no state to roll forward, which is
20//!   re-solved on demand instead of stepped. Light crosses an instrument in
21//!   nanoseconds; against a thermal timescale that is zero, so optics is not
22//!   integrated at all. This is the largest single saving available, and it is
23//!   what the closed-form [`Motion`](crate::motion::Motion) and the instantaneous
24//!   `SurfaceOptics` were already doing before there was a scheduler to notice.
25//! - **[`Schedule::Multirate`]** — each evolving domain takes as many equal
26//!   substeps of the shared window as its own stability limit requires, so the
27//!   slow domain is not dragged down to the fast one's step.
28//!
29//! # Coupling, and why it goes through a bus
30//!
31//! Domains never touch each other. They publish to and consume from an
32//! [`Exchange`], which is a set of named channels carrying SI amounts. That is not
33//! only a borrow-checker convenience: it is what makes the transfer *auditable*.
34//! Each domain conserves energy internally, but the interface between two
35//! discretisations of the same surface — ray hits on one side, mesh nodes on the
36//! other — is exactly where interpolation quietly loses or invents some. The bus
37//! compares what was published against what was consumed and refuses to let the
38//! difference pass silently.
39//!
40//! # What the schedules cost
41//!
42//! [`Schedule::OneWay`] is unconditionally stable and embarrassingly parallel,
43//! because nothing feeds back. [`Schedule::Staggered`] costs one exchange per
44//! step and is stable only while the coupling is weak — and *not* fixable by
45//! shrinking `dt`, since some strongly coupled systems (the standard example is
46//! fluid-structure interaction at comparable densities, the added-mass effect)
47//! become more unstable as the step shrinks. That is what
48//! [`Schedule::Iterative`] is for, and why it is worth its cost.
