The instruments

Four ways to read the same corpus, split by the temporal question each answers. Each entry carries what the instrument does, its method, an example of its output, what it is used for, and where to run it. A part that is not built says so at the same size as one that serves.

01 . The four

Every record linked here already serves at its own route; this page is the index, not a second copy. None of the four holds a corpus of its own: each reads the one counted on the front door.

02 . What an entry carries

An instrument is entered here when it has three parts: a method, a mechanism with its diagrams, and an example of its output. A part that is not built is printed as held, with what it waits on, rather than left off.

Today one instrument carries all three, from a specimen, and none carries an output from a run. Reading is done here; running is done in the studio, which serves two rooms on a seeded scope behind one screen while identity is not built. Nothing on this host becomes interactive to stand in for that.

Every reading any of the four publishes is held to the same standard: aggregate only, every segment at k ≥ 20, and the arithmetic printed beside the number.

this index carries no claim of its own. every instrument is held to the standard published at /method/, and an entry that is not built says what it is waiting on rather than saying nothing.
