The bundle contains the canonical record plus signed events. A mirror can host it anywhere and recompute the same current state with the deterministic merge algorithm.

Claims

C1strongest claim

This is a general stack that is science-, lab-, and instrument-independent, representing a novel synthesis across the physical, systems, and intelligence layers to unleash the next breakthrough in AI for Science.

C2weakest assumption

That declarative configurations can adequately capture the complexity, adaptability, and real-time decision-making required for physical experiments, including handling unexpected observations during execution.

C3one line summary

Experiment-as-Code Labs encodes experiments as declarative configurations that AI agents generate, systems software analyzes and orchestrates, and device APIs execute on physical lab hardware.
