fig. 2.14.3: the decaying terminal hazard and its tail integral beside the integrand and sum printed in equation (194)
g_delta is the signed growth rate of the hazard on the asymptotic path, negative here, so the terminal hazard delta_T e^(g_delta s) decays and its integral from T to infinity is −delta_T / g_delta. 97.4% of that area lies inside the 1,500 years drawn. Parameters from Appendix B.1 as used in checks.py.
