Example code
Two antioxidant branches share NADPH for reducing power, but each has its own carrier and repair dynamics. Their steady turnover, recovery after damage and duration of service with finite donor supply require different calculations. The same stationary responses can hide a slow repair clock, while stored carrier can temporarily support service that the instantaneous source cannot.
This example supplies the full eight-state model, maintained and finite donor laws, editable preparations and explicit service/resource accounts. Exact modal checks reconstruct the four-millisecond recovery certificate. Three supplied rational bounds enclosing trajectories within time-varying regions are independently replayed, including every face inequality and the drift of their moving centers.


For the specified independent 0.1% preparation box, 120 µM of donor under the linear law certifies the one-second service mission; 60 µM fails. During the successful mission the source falls below the stationary threshold, and the exact account attributes about 0.70–0.75 µM of service to stored carrier. The large 1.9 M sufficient stock from a fixed-band argument reflects that certificate's conservatism.
Reusable branch, supply-law, retained-state and certificate components support new simulations and preparation checks. Source strength, donor stock, affinity and matched repair speed remain separate inputs. Numerical quota crossings are distinguished from uniform guarantees, and changing the supply law does not silently transfer a certificate.
These are declared maintained-peroxide kinetics, not a calibrated cell model. Positive results cover the stated preparation regions; they establish neither global attraction nor an optimal donor stock. Exact arithmetic is rerun here; Lean is not.
