Because of how important this is to get right... and because of the unexpected exhaustion this work caused me... I rested and then spent the last couple days working to find the answer to how to configure the most important part of the OFv3 program in the new gen of tech. So far I have been unable to narrow my choices down below 3-5 and it changes back and forth as I verify and re-verify. This means the models aren't stable. It takes more time and effort to get answers and make sure they're accurate when the models are less stable than normal because the answer must achieve a high enough confidence rating to be accepted.

This is taking longer than I expected but I cannot get this part wrong, so we're going to spend as long making sure this answer is correct as we need. I'm hoping that the models will stabilize and then I can just finish, but if that doesn't happen it shouldn't be more than 1-3 more days regardless.

There are five other important configuration variables to calculate after this, but none of the others are this difficult or complex to calculate.

I'm still working, but progress has been slower than I'd like.
