Open problem OP-04 · Physical engineering
Model to physical evidence
How should measured results change a model and the next experiment, in a way a later engineer can audit?
Open collaboration. Scope, time, access and compensation are agreed before work begins.
Why it matters
Models get powerful when measurements can correct them. Our related engineering programs generate real data; we want the loop from result to revised model to next test made explicit, reusable and auditable.
What exists
Method pages describing the ten-stage loop; related programs operated by MacroVation that produce measured data; no released worked example yet.
What is uncertain
What comparison criteria are fair; how to record assumptions so a mismatch is diagnosable; when a result should change the model rather than the experiment.
First useful contribution
A reproducible example with model assumptions, a measurement, comparison criteria and the resulting revision.
How we would work together
Remote or in-person discussion; releasable data only.
Resources actually confirmed
Public method pages; releasable examples arranged with the operating organization.
