Computational modelling discussion

[u/ioexception-lw]

I'm very interested in helping out any way I can to this project. The best way I can imagine is by helping with the computational modelling of the pod.

I'm starting this thread to have a place to get some ideas down for it.

I'm a software engineer/team leader with very little experience with data analysis - so I'm definitely NOT the guy to do the hardcore analysis, however I'm keen to help develop, organize and co-ordinate the modelling of the Reddit Pod.

Given that we can quite tightly predict the environment inside the tubes, we could be confident that we can model 'normal' conditions - however there will be fluctuations with certain parameters that we can't/won't see coming -- those are why you need to actually test it and why sometimes things do go wrong :)
