Week 01 commitment

3 parts432 words 6 checkboxes — tick them, they save to the file

State: UNCONFIRMED. Owner: Peter Ciancaglini. Specification

Start date: not set. End date: not set. Available hours: confirm (planned ceiling 10). Primary outcome: fermentation simulator. Minimum that keeps the next gate alive: monod.py with the plot.

Deliverables to commit

simulator-design.md: A repeatable trajectory and balance checks exist; any lag-phase behavior is explicitly modeled.
telemetry-demo.md: A timestamped sample can be traced from generator to rendered curve.
simulation-manifest.csv: Twenty reproducible outputs have known ground truth and no implied plant validation.
Bounded learning exercise and personal teach-back.
Evidence-backed branding and opportunity pack.
Sunday review and next physical action.

Proposed calendar

Day	Minutes	Physical action / outcome	Actual slot	Done
Mon	90	Implement X/S/P/DO balances, feed and volume terms, named parameters and units; document the scope of the simplified simulator.	Not set	[ ]
Tue	90	1 page of notes in `notes/bio/B1.md` + 5 questions	Not set	[ ]
Wed	90	Replay simulator measurements through MQTT to a local time-series store and a minimal graph; provide CSV replay if the Debian box is unavailable. Last ten minutes: optional note.	Not set	[ ]
Thu	90	Notes; numpy re-doing 3 examples Include relevant founder-paper work within this block.	Not set	[ ]
Fri	90	Generate 20 seeded batches including a labeled feed-stop fault; save configuration, label and generator version.	Not set	[ ]
Sat	90	Resolve critical spillover; long-form draft if due; sandbox only if done.	Not set	[ ]
Sun	60	Build log, evidence, gap review, next actions.	Not set	[ ]

Dependency and capacity check

Missing essential inputs: not yet inspected.
Human/external dependency, owner and expected date: not yet inspected.
Week-specific constraint: A basic Monod model does not automatically produce lag and death phases. Eighty lines is a presentation idea, not a correctness criterion; do not force artificial physiology to match the title.
Existing session authorization for external actions or spending: not assessed; local planning only at scaffold creation.
Scope to cut first: optional polish/additional examples; preserve scientific validity.
If the forecast exceeds available time: record a concrete reduced scope or revised delivery proposal before committing.

Peter's commitment / adjustments: pending. Reviewing model and date: pending.
