There&rsquo;s a wall inside the shell that doesn&rsquo;t go all the way to the top. On purpose.</p> <p>Here&rsquo;s what that actually means.</p> <p>Most habitat shells — the enclosures that house your processing cores, thermal units, quantum storage arrays, everything — move air the same way they did six hundred years ago. Intake at the front, exhaust at the back, hope for the best. The EX5 and EX6 do something different. They divide the internal volume into discrete pressure chambers, each operating at a slightly different atmospheric gradient. Hot air doesn&rsquo;t wander. It goes where physics tells it to go, because the geometry <em>makes</em> physics cooperative instead of fighting it.</p>
