Sessions
Four checkpoints rather than a weekly meeting: the semester has four moments where something has to leave the room.
There is no weekly tutorial. The lectures run every week and the work happens in your own log; these four sessions exist because each one produces something that cannot be produced alone.
The first opens your position and seals a record you may not revise. The second makes you defend one number out loud before the deadline that depends on it. The third takes a rule off you in writing, so that it cannot be adjusted after you see how it does. The fourth pools the whole class's numbers, which is the one artefact no individual student can make.
Bring the log to all four.
Opening positions
The first session, in which everyone chooses a track, opens something, and files four answers they are not permitted to revise.
Week 1 · 22 February 2027
Loss report crit
The session where you defend one number in your log out loud, two weeks before the loss report is due.
Week 6 · 29 March 2027
Midpoint check
The session where you declare a rule in writing before testing it, and say out loud how many rules you tried first.
Week 9 · 3 May 2027
Closing crit
The last session. Positions close, the class ledger goes on the screen, and week 1's argument acquires people it applies to.
Week 12 · 24 May 2027
