Did the absence of a mirroring capacity decline mean the pack remained organised in the same way?
The record contains WLTP operations and repeated capacity checks from one 3P12S pack. Capacity describes one measured aspect of that history. It does not directly say which cells remained available to carry the most constrained voltage-response role.
The capacity projection did not show a mirroring decline.
Across 99 valid capacity checks, the audited result supports only an absence statement: capacity did not decline in the same shape as the organisation measure. Raw ampere-hour magnitudes remain protocol-conditioned.
The visible carrying field contracted toward roughly two bearers.
Under WLTP, the effective number of cells reachable as the most constrained bearer moved from a soft early estimate of 6.73 to 2.19. On the matched capacity-check face it moved from 2.65 to 1.03. Late in the record, P1S6 carried the dominant role across both views.
The result survived destruction of order and identity.
- Time shuffling did not reproduce the ordered contraction.
- Cell-identity shuffling did not reproduce the persistent late ranking.
- The same named bearer reappeared on the matched capacity-check face.
- Removing P1S6 reopened substantially more carrying breadth than removing a random non-bearer.
A wider field at rest was not called recovery.
The field widened only as current approached zero and narrowed again when load returned. It failed the persistence-under-load gate. A bearer-specific thermal-coupling number was also overturned after detrending removed the apparent relation.
FREEZE + FREEZE_AS_NULL
The two lenses described different parts of the same recorded history.
Within this pack and these protocol faces, the visible carrying field narrowed and its late role concentrated on P1S6, while capacity showed no mirroring decline. This is not a health, lifetime or safety conclusion.
The trace does not reveal why the role concentrated.
No teardown, reference electrode, imaging or synchronous mechanism channel is present. The result cannot establish material cause, recurrence in another pack, future failure, remaining life, warranty outcome or safety.
