Prototyping Academy

for the temporally divergent who are temporarily convergent

Proceedings

Series PA/Cy · Unattributed · Peer review: none available on this worldline

The proceedings of the Academy, Cycles 4 to 9, typeset in Cycle 10. Each figure drawn from the bench names the run that produced it; any convergent may repeat the run in the Laboratory and will obtain the same result, the bench being, on every matter but one, consistent.

Notices

Short notices of the Academy, not counted among the proceedings. Some were issued by no one. All are in force.

Erratum PA/Cy07/E1 · Issued by no one

In the charter of the Academy, for “isolated polysaccharide matrix” read “proteinaceous polysaccharide matrix”.

This erratum appeared in Cycle 7. The Academy disclaims it and has complied with it in every cycle since. See PA/Cy04/0017.

Retraction PA/Cy03/R1

The record of Cycle 3 described the matrix released in the containment failure (PA/ARC/05) as a polysaccharide. It was molasses, which is chiefly sucrose, a disaccharide. The Academy retracts the word “polysaccharide”. It does not retract the failure, which stands.

Erratum PA/Cy10/E1 · Issued by no one

In the Platinum Doctrine, for “4.5 g” read “230 g”. The wire must not only carry its current at 700 °C; it must also shed its heat there, and bright platinum radiates poorly.

The Academy accepts this correction. The bench has been right about platinum. See PA/Cy07/0058 and PA/OP/01.

Notice of disavowal PA/D/1

The Academy strongly discourages approaching a guarded female during display. The attendant will misread glandular extraction as encroachment upon his mate. Unsanctioned extraction is condemned in the strongest terms available to an institution of no standing. The quadrupeds are sacred custodians; the Academy only petitions.
