Lessons — the course of the thesis
Gapped-derivation lessons, one per concluded experiment arc (push), worked on paper with Socratic sessions on demand (pull). Format and protocol: the math-teacher skill. Each lesson’s sealed solutions are verified by a committed SymPy test.
How to use this page
Work the lowest-numbered lesson whose status is ready. After a session, the debrief’s misses become the next lesson’s warm-ups and its next-topic suggestion lands here as a stub.
Lessons
| # | lesson | arc | phase | status |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | The Error-Floor Cascade | error-floor cascade (concluded 2026-07) | nominal / pre-risk | ready |
Upcoming (stubs — written when the arc concludes)
| # | topic | arc | phase |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2 | mismatched duration | phase-0 science task | 0 — foundation |
| 3 | 7-DOF redundancy and the null-space freeze | phase-0 science task | 0 — foundation |
| — | CVaR view scoring | phase A | A |
| — | state uncertainty | phase B | B |
| — | actuation uncertainty | phase C | C |
| — | objective extensions | phase D/E | D/E |
Debriefs
Session debriefs live in debriefs/ (created with the first session) — machine-readable misses (recirculated as warm-ups) plus the knowledge delta.
