How it works, and how we know

diagnose

What kind of system is this?

Give it a record of what the agents actually did. You get back a position in the irreversibility plane, a name for the regime, and a list of what that regime changes about how you should act. Where the data cannot settle something, the page says so and shows you the bound instead.

1 Your data

Start from one of these instead. The first is real — the committed CAISO artifact the Markets reading is built on. The other two are generated, written to land in known parts of the plane so you can see the instrument agree with an answer that is known in advance; nothing read off them is a finding about any real market. Each button says which it is.

Add a response matrix, if you have run a perturbation experiment

Rows and columns are agents; entry (i, j) is how far agent i moved when agent j was shocked. Without it the response axis stays unidentified and the verdict comes back as a set of quadrants rather than one.
