Title: Sensing Without Colocation: Operator-Based Virtual Instrumentation for Domains Beyond Physical Reach

Abstract:
arXiv:2510.18041v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Classical sensing rests on one foundational assumption: the quantity of interest must be colocated with the measurement device. This is not an engineering convenience. It is the organizing principle of every instrumentation standard developed over the past century, and it fails completely at aviation altitude, where no physical sensor can survive long enough to monitor the cosmic radiation field that irradiates millions of aircrew annuall
