Glossary
Every technical term this platform uses, with what it means and — the part that is harder to find elsewhere — the mistake it prevents. On this subject the intuitive reading is often the wrong one, so each entry says what a reader would otherwise get wrong.
Evidence
- Reproducibility hash
A fingerprint of everything that defines a result, so an identical rerun is recognisable.
Easy to get wrong: A matching hash proves the record is self-consistent, not that the numbers came from where it claims. Anyone can compute a correct hash over a fabricated result.
