Sources and accounts

This catalog contains selected public sources used by the fieldbook. It is not a repository inventory. Pinned README access establishes that the cited file was publicly readable; it does not establish runtime behavior or independent reproduction of its results.

Source records distinguish support, limits, authorship, rights, and the actual source check. New chapter recommendations are editorial synthesis. Essays retain their historical author-reported state. Owner accounts are labeled separately; publishing an account does not make it independent evidence.

Two months behind a first attempt

Source: Two months behind a first attempt

Authors: Marc / @NeuralYogi; editorial explanation prepared with AI assistance

Kind: owner-account

Used for: Marc reported that, after about two months of building with agents, a first Rage gear attempt worked for him and attributed it to context about him and his preferences.

Limits: Owner-reported experience. No original prompt, loaded-context trace, artwork, production workflow, controlled comparison, or independent reproduction was inspected.

Rights: Owner-supplied account published at the scope provided for the book; no private source material reproduced.

Lost in the Middle: How Language Models Use Long Contexts

Source: Lost in the Middle: How Language Models Use Long Contexts

Authors: Nelson F. Liu, Kevin Lin, John Hewitt, Ashwin Paranjape, Michele Bevilacqua, Fabio Petroni, and Percy Liang

Kind: paper

Used for: Historical context-position comparisons in question answering and key-value retrieval; background for a distinct Fieldbook proposal.

Limits: Primary source inspected, not rerun. It does not test current products or establish the cause of the owner-reported gear result.

Rights: Published paper: CC BY 4.0. Linked with original commentary; no figures or paper text reproduced.

Source check: Opened the publisher record and read relevant methods/results in the published PDF (TACL 12, 2024, pp. 157–173; DOI 10.1162/tacl_a_00638). Anonymous HTTPS GET of https://aclanthology.org/2024.tacl-1.9.pdf returned HTTP 200; no Authorization header or cookies. Digest identifies the PDF bytes. Recorded 2026-10-19T15:03:46Z.

Sixteen-link acceptance protocol

Source: Sixteen-link acceptance protocol

Authors: Marc and credited upstream task author Corben Sorenson

Kind: repository

Used for: Published task conditions: sixteen links, strict wrapped absolute angles below 0.15 radians for 250 consecutive post-command samples at 50 Hz, a 3 metre rail limit, full 30-second completion and the remaining validity requirements.

Limits: Protocol source inspected. It specifies an acceptance contract; it does not establish that a controller or an AI-assisted workflow meets it. Fictional walkthrough cases assume other episode requirements are satisfied.

Rights: Linked public protocol with original editorial explanation; no source code or figures reproduced.

Revision: 7c0cb0fb54b6e43ca4ae820a69856fdb5d8f5223.

Source check: Anonymous HTTPS GET of the exact raw GitHub revision returned HTTP 200. Request sent no Authorization header; requirements and acceptance sections read. No controller or physics run. Recorded 2026-10-22T12:56:13.395Z.

Sixteen-link author-reported result

Source: Sixteen-link author-reported result

Authors: Marc and credited project/upstream contributors

Kind: release

Used for: Public author-reported simulation result and its evidence boundary, including the 7.34-second upright hold and same-owner checks.

Limits: Release description inspected, not independently reproduced for this book. A selected replay is not the cohort denominator, a hardware result or evidence of AI productivity.

Rights: Linked release description with original commentary. No release assets, third-party music or figures reproduced in the book.

Source check: Opened the anonymously readable GitHub release and read its result, same-owner attestation and runtime/transfer limits. New execution was not performed. Recorded 2026-10-22T12:56:13.395Z.
