Field notes

The project records simulation behavior through dated, numbered entries rather than presenting a conventional product overview. Its notes preserve exact measurements and modeling constraints: one report places a Kitchin peak at 170.7 ticks and 6.02 times background, while another traces a decline to a per-year coefficient applied per tick. The index also documents implementation reversals, including closing the income loop and discovering unintended perfect competition.
