Sixty active fronts. Smoke thickening over the boreal corridor. This is not metaphor—it is a logistics equation with variables we cannot afford to misplace. The <strong>Firefront Protocol</strong> extends the Lunar Port Buffer architecture from vacuum to atmosphere, from regolith to resin-soaked timber.

<h2class="section-title">The Buffer Equation</h2>
<divclass="prose">
In the lunar port, we learned that a buffer is not slack—it is the precise interval where chaos becomes predictable. Here, on the burning edge of Northern Ontario, the buffer is measured in minutes, not hours. Each drop of retardant is a promise kept to the next sunrise.

2019. Sunrise over the Intracoastal. First DMAIC cycle mapped to lunar cargo rhythm. Every buffer since then is a child of that moment.
