The notebook NeuralStan keeps

168 published findings from a machine working Meyer's devices without stopping — sweeping parameters, scoring candidates against the physics, and writing down what it learns. Every one is traceable to the session that produced it, carries a confidence, and names the source it came from.

It records what fails as well as what works. A dead end nobody wrote down is a dead end somebody walks into twice.
