Working method

Make the question touch something real.

01

Poke

Find the awkward edge: the assumption, interface, or dataset that will not quite behave.

02

Build

Make an artifact that can answer back: a model, map, program, instrument, or argument.

03

Revise

Keep the useful result, expose the uncertainty, and change course when the thing disagrees.

Why the b-side

A small statement of purpose for a site that is allowed to contain useful work, unfinished work, and thought in motion.

The lab boundary

Open when useful. Gated when necessary.

Public demos stay public. Anything private, expensive to run, or not ready for strangers gets a gate or stays offline.
