Engineering notes
Working notes on the mathematics under exploration targeting — what is settled, what is merely slow, and where an agent actually changes the answer rather than the packaging. Written for people who will check the citations.
The math was never the bottleneck
Geologists and machine-learning researchers spent forty years inventing the same equations without noticing. The useful part is what it implies: if the mathematics has been settled since the 1960s, the reason a prospectivity map still takes weeks is not the mathematics. Read the post →
What remote sensing can, and cannot, tell you about a mineral system
Seen from above, the Earth looks honest. It is also lying in three very specific ways. What an imaging spectrometer really sees, where it goes quiet, and what a context-aware agent can finally do about it. Read the post →More to come.
