# 3.2 Heat Field Backtracking Map

In cosmology, perturbation analysis allows scientists to **trace back** the early conditions of the universe. Gridium adapts this for computation:

* Failed task chains are traced backward.
* Bottlenecks and noisy agents are located.
* Task paths are reconstructed with minimal entropy loss.
