Analytical cooling is (analytical thermo generally) is when, at high time warp, KSP's thermo model switches from integration to figuring out the resting temperature of the vessel as a whole (given all fluxes, including blackbody radiation for cooling) and lerps towards that directly, ignoring conduction. It's like when you go 'on rails' for orbital mechanics.
