(and to step on my pedestal for a moment: turns out “flat file” semantics for reasoning about and managing computer instructions is kinda fucking terrible, who knew?!

I'd want to see more threads checked into and researched in depth (and I know that some stuff (partly?) also had their own drivers), but fucking hell there's a lot of apparent overlap. dunno if I can take on that investigation (my stats derivation/calculation skills border on a warcrime), but other than that would be interesting to see some analyses
and the W is for "wailing"
found a paper that may be of interest and review interest to some here
