The Public Technical Library
A large, on-brand public knowledge base documents the physics, components, and methods of both machines in plain, citable pages.
A knowledge base, not a brochure
Alongside the papers, Kronos publishes a public technical library: a structured knowledge base of over a thousand pages spanning physics, components, engineering, materials, validation, methodology, devices, standards, safety, applications, a glossary, and more. It is written for readers who want the mechanism, not the marketing, and it is generated from the same frozen canon as the papers so the numbers agree everywhere.
What it is built to do
- Explain the machines at depth: how the breeder and burner work, component by component.
- Stay consistent: every page draws on the frozen design point, so 88.7 MW means the same thing throughout.
- Remain honest: the honest gates appear in the library, not only in the papers.
- Carry no economics: the library is subject to the same firewall as every public artifact; see what we don't publish.
Generated, verified, and clean
The library is produced by a documented generator and passes a verification step before release, confirming it is clean of excluded content; see the verify function. Generating it from source modules rather than hand-editing a thousand pages is how the frozen canon stays uniform across the whole corpus; see frozen-design discipline.
Why publish this much
A reader who can only see conclusions cannot judge them. A deep, honest reference lets a serious reader trace a claim from a paper into the underlying physics and back out again. It is the readable companion to the reproducible deposits, and part of the same posture of designing in the open.
The library exists so that understanding the machines does not require our permission.
