Validation & Reproducibility
How to Reproduce a Kronos Result
The whole point of an open deposit is that you do not have to believe us. Here is how to check.
- Download the relevant Zenodo deposit (breeder, burner, REBCO, DEC, or AI/quantum).
- Set up the pinned software environment described in the deposit's reproduction notes.
- Run the deposited engine against the provided input decks.
- Compare against the expected outputs — byte-exact for Tier-1 results, within the stated tolerance for Tier-2.
- Consult the validation suite to see each check's inputs, method and expected value.

Common questions
Can I re-run the physics myself?
Yes. Download a deposit, set up the pinned environment, run the engine against the inputs, and compare to the expected outputs — byte-exact or within a stated tolerance.
