Research question
Can phase guidance produce a measurable model-level thermal-interface advantage under the tested assumptions?
Method
Ten experiment stages examine topology, localization, controls, and candidate thermal-response metrics.
Key results
- The final candidate comparison reports a small model-level separation between aligned and anti-hotspot configurations.
- The report treats the result as a numerical candidate, not a validated material device.
Limitations
Reported differences are small and model-dependent. Independent material characterization and laboratory tests are required.
This work is a numerical proof-of-concept. It establishes model-level behaviour under the stated assumptions and does not replace independent laboratory validation.
