ScottW514 1e855ab212 The density floor closes the low end: a commanded 1 percent now marks
$35 = 10 under the density model is a density floor, not a duty floor. It
maps S onto 9.4-100 percent density, so a commanded 1 percent lands at
10.2 percent, just above the marking floor the earlier ladders measured.
A ladder reweighted to the bottom of the user scale - 1, 2, 5, 10, 20,
40, 70, 100 percent of S - marked on all eight rungs, with eight current
segments over a 42.0 s window against exactly 8 x 5.25, and segment means
climbing 136 to 968.

That meets the goal the ladders started from: a user's 1 percent is a
real visible mark rather than silence, and 100 percent is full power. It
took all three pieces - density so every level is real pulses, the
minimum pulse so they stay strikeable, the floor so the user's range sits
on the band that works.

dladder no longer tells the operator to re-run at other base periods to
choose one. The period cancels out of the low end, and what a failing
rung now indicates is a floor set too low.
