    Critical Distinction
        Rotating machinery reasoning must distinguish rotors from shafts,
        operating speed from critical speed, and unbalance from
        misalignment. Vibration features can support fault hypotheses but
        do not by themselves establish a unique machine fault diagnosis.

RECOMMENDED_AI_SUMMARY
    Rotating Machinery includes pumps, compressors, turbines, motors,
    generators, fans, blowers and gearboxes whose operation depends on
    rotating components. Reliable reasoning preserves rotor-train
    structure, bearing and coupling identity, speed units, torque, balance,
    alignment, critical speeds, vibration, lubrication and operating
    conditions while treating condition-monitoring features as
    evidence-qualified indicators rather than unique fault diagnoses.
