Website improvements

This log is limited to website and reader-tool changes. Research releases, corrections, and work in development are maintained on the separate Latest page.

Six research-map entries now have bounded reading pages

  • Read source-linked explanations of influence, threat perception, capital, resource mobilization, medical technology and frontier science. Existing work families now have readable synopses with evidence limits and no duplicate research-map entries. Explore the research map →

Test the promise of bringing industry home

  • A new analysis connects reshoring, immigration restrictions, automation and ownership. Compare productive capacity with sustained work and real compensation, using dated sources and explicit counterarguments. Read the policy analysis →

Source-linked articles and a guided reading collection

  • A guided reading collection connects articles about AI infrastructure and work. Read the evidence, distinguish policy proposals from findings, and follow citations beside the claims they support. Explore the reading collection →

  • Article pages include linked source notes, section navigation and edition records. Inspect the sources, see what changed and continue reading comfortably on a phone. Read the workforce analysis →

Clearer pages and reading choices

  • Shorter introductions and a single featured first read. Start reading sooner, with author information and dates beside featured summaries. Explore the homepage →

  • Available reading is distinct from the research roadmap. Find summaries and external manuscript records without mistaking planned work for released papers. Browse available reading →

  • Released articles and draft previews have distinct reading links; podcast speed survives the first transcript seek. Recognize publication status and keep the listening pace you selected. Explore articles and previews →

  • Simpler signup and editorial information. See where to subscribe and what is available today, with clear research status and privacy information. Get research updates →

Put the research into practice

  • Six new reading exercises with downloadable notes. Test attention, energy assumptions, housing outcomes, measurement limits, project resilience and ownership claims. Try the reading tools →

  • An entanglement example shows what Bob can learn. Compare two joint-result patterns with the same local probabilities. Read the probability example →

  • A fictional balance sheet separates cash from net wealth. Extend the existing tax discussion without repeating it or implying a tax calculation. Read the accounting example →

A clearer place to begin

  • New here? Start with a three-minute explanation. The homepage and Start Here now recommend one first read and explain what you will learn. Start reading →

  • Try a worked example of a misleading comparison. Invented numbers show why counts need matching definitions. This adds no real-world statistics or new manuscript findings. Try the example →

  • Meet the author and the purpose behind the project. The introduction explains who writes the work and how to explore its evidence. About Independent Observer →

Trace the claim, understand the research object

  • Who Deported More? A Guide to Comparing Deportation Statistics explains enforcement categories with official source locations and a non-numerical example. Distinguish what a report counts before comparing its headline total. Read the explanation →

  • Paper readers distinguish summaries, original-paper records, material availability and documented review. Know what you can read and what has been checked; manuscript release statuses are unchanged. Explore the library →

A shorter path from question to paper

  • The library now starts with search and six paper records, with more results available on demand. Choose a read without scrolling through the whole research programme. Find a paper →

  • Paper introductions appear before citation tools, and document details follow the reading on mobile. Reach the explanation first, then explore its sources and publication status. Read a paper summary →

  • Start Here leads with reading questions, and paper pages link directly to project updates and the podcast feed. Find a starting point and keep following the research. Choose a question →

New ways to read, listen, and follow the research

  • Search now includes the four podcast episodes and their transcripts. Find an idea even when you first heard it in an episode. Explore the podcast →

  • Listening progress can be resumed on this device, with searchable transcripts and approximate paragraph time links. Return to an episode or jump near a passage without starting over. Continue listening →

  • Four guided reading journeys connect an audio introduction with three public paper records. Follow a question through related work in a clear order. Choose a reading journey →

  • Paper pages offer BibTeX and RIS exports when author and date metadata are available, plus a contextual correction link. Save a reference in your research tools or identify the passage that needs attention. Visit the Library →
