DiscreteRate

Run the Vegetable Plant (VEG) demo — a Plant Builder distribution-control model. Two Making lines feed five Packing lines through eight surge bins; a DRS rate solver splits and rebalances the flow across the bins as the plant works through its campaign schedule. Returns the plant rollup (utilization, campaigns, active window), per-product goal attainment, per-system campaign timelines, and final surge-bin / delivered levels. ANTI-FABRICATION: numbers come from a real Plant Builder engine run; quote verbatim.

Run the Chocolate Processing (CHOC) demo — Plant Builder's joint DES↔DRS bridge. Three systems in series (Bean Processing → Cocoa Powder → Chocolate): DES schedules campaigns and injects equipment failures, a DRS rate solver carries the continuous flow, a bridge couples them. Exercises all 7 controllers + Goal blocks. Returns the plant rollup (schedule occupancy vs busy utilization, total downtime, campaigns), per-product attainment, and per-system campaign timelines with downtime. ANTI-FABRICATION: numbers come from a real Plant Builder engine run; quote verbatim.

Run the Bottling Line / SKU-capacity (SKU) demo — a sim-foundation parameter-set example. One 5-machine bottling line run for several products (SKUs as parameter sets). Returns, per SKU, OEE (identical ~55% — time-based interrupts) and indexed real output (swings >3x: 100 / 50 / 30 / 42) plus the pacing machine. Shows you can't read per-SKU capacity off OEE. ANTI-FABRICATION: numbers come from a real sim-foundation engine run (indexed/anonymized); quote verbatim.

Run the Tissue Line (TIS) demo — a sim-foundation parameter-set example. One tissue line (Reel supply → Converter → Winder), three strategic decisions (each a parameter set): bypass converter / run converter / add storage tower. Returns per-decision throughput as % of nameplate (75.4 / 75.4 / 73.4), the binding bottleneck (the upstream parent-reel supply in all three), and converter/storage detail. Shows the downstream decision barely moves throughput — invest at the constraint. ANTI-FABRICATION: numbers come from a real sim-foundation engine run (indexed/anonymized); quote verbatim.

List the seven DRS demos (Fast-Slow Drain · Hamburger Duo · Valdez Tanker · Vegetable Plant · Chocolate Processing · Bottling Line SKU capacity · Tissue Line). Each is reproducible against the engine via the run_* tools. Use this to discover what's available before calling describe_demo or a run_* tool.

Return a textbook-tier explainer of Discrete Rate Simulation: how it differs from DES and CT, the three primitives (Constraint / Buffer / Interrupt), paradigm integration via F2I / I2F. Use this for 'what is DRS?' / 'how is this different from DES?' / 'where does DRS fit in the simulation landscape?' style questions. Deterministic text — no engine call, no RNG.

Return a focused write-up of the three DRS modeling primitives: Constraint (rate-limiter), Buffer (accumulated state), Interrupt (stoppage). Use this when the user asks specifically about modeling primitives or how to spell a system in DRS. Deterministic text.

Return an explainer of paradigm integration — how DRS handles systems with both flows and items via F2I (Flow-to-Item) and I2F (Item-to-Flow) primitives. Use this when the user asks about Valdez-Tanker-style mixed-paradigm systems or 'how do flows and items coexist'. Deterministic text.

Return a focused write-up of the event-count complexity differences between DES and DRS, with the worked Fast-Slow Drain numbers (Continuous ~thousands vs DES ~500 vs DRS 10 events for the same 100-minute model). Use this when the user wants the practitioner-visible payoff of DRS — the 50× event-count reduction at the boundary-transition layer. Deterministic text.
