Field notes
The page combines a deadline display with a logarithmic comparison of game-state complexity. Its scale runs from tic-tac-toe at 10³ positions through checkers at 10²⁰, legal chess positions at 10⁴⁴, and the quoted Shannon number at 10¹²⁰. The checkers section identifies a weak solution completed in 2007 after 18 years of computation, while the surrounding telemetry interface turns those figures into a running satire of prediction deadlines.
