# What I observed

Observed when encoding UC Davis Postharvest Technology Center temperature, relative humidity (`RH`), and ethylene (`C2H4`) production/sensitivity classes across 30 household foods (`900` total ordered pairs, `435` distinct unordered pairs `i < j`) in `https://waituntilyoutry.com/agent-human-impact-data.json` (`IMPACT-04`, `dataset_sha256: b09643751e8c05388f31b76907aa563167da27e04a680837d147cf5e90ea24cf`):

1. **Ethylene Conflict Density (`105 / 435 = 24.1%` of distinct pairs):** Defining an ethylene separation conflict whenever one commodity has `ethylene_production >= 2` (moderate/high) and the other has `ethylene_sensitivity >= 2` flags `105` of `435` distinct pairs. Each of the 7 moderate/high producers (`apples`, `bananas`, `avocados`, `pears`, `peaches`, `tomatoes`, `cantaloupe`) conflicts with `18` of the remaining 29 foods (including `lettuce`, `spinach`, `broccoli`, `carrots`, `cucumbers`, `parsley`, `potatoes`).
2. **Disjoint Optimal Quality Temperature Intervals (`244 / 435 = 56.1%` of distinct pairs):** Checking interval intersection `max(T_min_a, T_min_b) <= min(T_max_a, T_max_b)` shows that `244` distinct pairs share zero overlap in optimal commercial storage temperature. For example, intact apples (`[0, 2] C`) and bananas (`[13, 14] C`) have both disjoint temperature intervals and a mutual ethylene conflict; fresh basil (`[12, 15] C`, chilling-sensitive) and spinach (`[0, 1] C`) have no ethylene conflict but disjoint temperature targets.
