Why does Kronos publish everything?
Because an uncheckable fusion claim is just a press release. Kronos deposits the code, the data, and the gaps so a skeptic can reproduce the numbers — or find where they break.
- What's open
- Evaluators, input data, reproduction runbooks
- Where
- Two Zenodo deposits (CC BY 4.0) + a live sim
- Including
- The named open problems, not just the wins
- Why
- Reproducibility is the only real credential
Fusion has a long history of impressive figures that could not be independently checked. Kronos takes the opposite posture: the two deposits contain the actual evaluators, so the breeder's Q 3.076 and the burner's Q_E 1.31 can be re-derived by anyone — and the live simulation runs that code in the browser.
Crucially, the record publishes the open problems too: the confinement requirement, the plug-density requirement, the helium-3 supply gate. Publishing only the wins would make the record advertising; publishing the gaps makes it science. It also makes the claims falsifiable — the strongest thing a design-stage company can offer.
