Behavior

Runs one scalar child instance per vector element, with fixed shape and isolated memory for every element. Outputs are held between accepted samples; numerical evaluation does not commit hidden state.

Equations and rules

  • For each element i: (state[i], output[i]) ← child(state[i], input[i])
  • State storage is separate for every element

Limits and interpretation

  • Control executes on an explicit sampled clock. Continuous states, history/delay kernels, residual equations, and event-source children are not supported.
  • The wrapper contains one original computation operation; arbitrary multi-block submodels are not supported.
  • A sampled child advances once per invocation using its own declared period. Repeated calls share the same outer timestamp and do not advance physical time.
  • The child has one scalar input and one scalar output; the outer vector length is fixed at 1–256 elements.
