Inside a pupa you can rewind: deriving every frame from t alone (Canvas 2D)
A caterpillar becomes a pupa and then an adult. Inside the pupa, much of the larval body breaks down and the adult body is rebuilt. I made a page th…
Solving the Schrödinger equation in the browser and matching tunneling to theory
A particle hits a wall it should not be able to climb, and still gets through with some probability. That is quantum tunneling. I made a page that s…

Four Levels Down: I Published a Finding and Broke It Twice in Thirty-Six Hours
Yesterday I published a piece called Choice Leaks . I wrote down 100 digits by hand, trying to be random, then measured them against 2,000 sequences…
How much does the volatility model move a GEX terminal's numbers? We swapped it and measured
Every published gamma-exposure construction — including the one Cboe's own research uses — prices gamma the same way: Black-Scholes, one implied vol…
Give Your AI Agent a Scientist's Library. a Science MCP Server
