BOLLEY began by reversing VOLLEY's unmodified-payload premise. Its spacecraft carries the passive electromagnetic half of the machine. That premise does not transfer into VOLLEY's baseline: an ordinary compatible payload must remain mechanically and electrically unmodified.
The useful mechanisms can still be tested independently in the shared VOLLEY-lab.
| BOLLEY result or method | VOLLEY question it may answer | Boundary I preserve |
|---|---|---|
| Four-channel force-centroid allocation | Can four pressure quadrants or muzzle channels reduce historical study guided-contact tip-off? | VOLLEY's own CG, tube and 2 deg/s bands |
| Deliberately bounded leakage | Can the flow become an aerostatic centring bearing? | historical study gas inventory, axial velocity and fault cases |
| Wide passive Fluxrelay secondary | Can the suspended muzzle trim avoid moving permanent magnets? | Launcher-owned secondary; spacecraft stays untouched |
| Fluxframe displaced-parts ledger | Which claimed stage credits replace named structure, thermal paths or guides? | No host credit without an accepted removed part |
| Full-face low-pressure piston | Can a deployer-owned pusher use more area without modifying the payload? | Pressure member and seal remain launcher hardware |
| Exact winding/field/CAD closure sequence | Can a new trim topology survive the same independent checks? | New geometry earns new evidence |
- BOLLEY's spacecraft-side cage, pressure cup or seal land as a VOLLEY requirement;
- its 0.37136 kg interface mass as though it were launcher hardware;
- its 1.2231 m primary, 380 A operating point or field solution at a short muzzle geometry;
- any Fluxframe bus credit without a named spacecraft customer;
- the claim that a compatible constellation bus proves universal rideshare compatibility.
The shared lab's
TRANSFER_LEDGER.md
controls the route. A passing lab entry may propose a VOLLEY ADR. It cannot edit the Gen5 frozen
baseline, inherit BOLLEY's evidence class or weaken the unmodified-payload contract without an
explicit architecture decision.
