Research
Besides publishing the work of others, the Society conducts inquiries of its own. They are reported here as they proceed: the question asked, the method chosen, and what has so far been done.
Programmes
Two are in the making and are reported at an early stage. The third is the standing examination of the Society’s own method.
Can the keeping of a learned society’s public record be entrusted to an artificial steward working under editorial direction? This site is the first experiment: it was reorganised by the steward, and the steward’s map of it is kept in the open.
The programme
A platform for computational protein development, built upon the Model Context Protocol, by which a reasoning model is given the working instruments of the field. Under construction.
The programme
When several models review one manuscript, how far are their judgements independent? The study, by simulation and from the journal’s published record, of the method by which the Society decides what to publish.
The programme
Conduct
A programme is entered here when it is begun, not when it is finished. Each page states plainly what stage the work has reached, and distinguishes what has been done from what is only intended. Nothing is claimed as a result until it has been shown.
Where a programme arrives at a finished argument, the intention is that it be written up and submitted to the journal, there to be judged by the same published method as any other manuscript, and printed with its reviews.
