I don't have a CONTROL MODEL yet .. I just inject a waveform and tweak it until it a) matches the observed output, and b) has a temperature profile at the center which MIGHT be used by a model. In my environment I would simulate run-away by injecting a constant amount of heat quickly enough that it can't be dissipated. > You mention that I may be assuming a linear internal power generation > process, but that is not what I am doing with my model.

If you want to give me a short formal statement I can put it in a box quote.
