The useful distinction in VOLLEY is not “simulation versus reality.” It is which configuration was run, what acceptance criteria existed before the run, what failed, and what remains completely unmeasured.
Finite host recoil and assumed release authority.
Changing host state, remaining manifest mass and propellant allocation.
Full position/velocity target and release-time search for one payload.
Shared-host continuity, both target orders, coupled timing and full terminal-state acceptance.
Frozen numerical authority and assumptions.
Where current claims and artifacts came from.
Criteria, execution, result and disposition.
Visual outputs tied back to their sources.
What numerical closure actually means here.
Predeclared conditions that can reject a direction.
Open, modelled, closed and deferred defects.
The path from model evidence to a buildable test article.
