The premise

Knowledge should leave a trace.

A question becomes more useful when its sources, attempts, failures, and conclusions remain available for someone else to inspect or continue.

Questions

Problems worth understanding.

Experiments

Tests, prototypes, and failed attempts.

Records

Notes that make later work easier.

Open research

In progress

Sources, questions, and experiments around Peter Chen’s original model.

Research can begin with a bug, a proof, an unfamiliar system, a rough idea, or something that simply does not make sense yet.
