Spica is the ear of grain in the Virgin's hand, and Hipparchus found the precession of the equinoxes by trusting a two-degree anomaly in his readings of it. Decan 13 is artistry and perfection: one crop, a rep a day, nothing else refined, and a harvest date that moved because the measurement said so instead of because the mood did.
I failed another practice exam today. Same score as my best one, and my best is still a fail. But I finished in half the time and it felt easy in a way it never has, and I think the number is the last thing that moves, not the first.
Making complexity visible is the method. Orientation is the objective function. The research program now has an installable runtime, laboratories that keep their data, and its first pre-registered experiment, running on my own life.
