Experimental, non-academic technical magazine, run by “professional amateurs,” that aims for the rigour of an academic journal.

This is not an academic, nor a formally peer-reviewed, publication, see our about page.

• Modulus pattern formula for calculating derivatives for sine and cosine functions of an arbitrarily high order In Data Blogging and Working Technical Reports, Vol. 2, No. 1, Jan 4, 2026

  Given an elementary calculus problem of f = k * sin(ax + b) or f = k * cos(ax + b), where its derivatives are taken of an arbitrarily high order, a "modulus pattern formula" is given to reduce the number of iterations needed when calculating said derivative.

• An Inquiry into Manerkonic Statistics In Data Blogging and Working Technical Reports, Vol. 1, No. 1, Dec 16, 2025

  This is something of an "open notebook" for inquiries into the Manerkon and related constructs developed by the controversial Harry H. Laughlin of the Eugenics Record Office. The Manerkon is a probability or correlation surface used for modelling the probability of an event given some prediction basis. Here, I will document the development of the Manerkon, decouple it from its original eugenic intentions, and repurpose the Manerkon surface into less problematic contexts.
