You are very thoughtful. Yes, I agree about the usual human practices and methods. Every single one of the tens of thousands of groups I studied in detail on the Internet ended up failing or limiting themselves because of the greed of a few people, or policies that benefited only their group. It is particularly

Jonah, Thanks, that first link seems to answer my immediate question about reference location and calculating time between sensors. Thanks for the pointer, I should have been able to easily find such a key piece of the puzzle. https://pycbc.org/pycbc/latest/html/detector.html My son, Ben, set up a Linux server with Python and ran some samples. I found

https://www.researchgate.net/publication/327939317_Persistent_luminescence_instead_of_phosphorescence_History_mechanism_and_perspective/comments Enjoyable read with many thoughtful ideas and descriptions. There are several energy sources for these photon flows, but thermal energy harvesting over long periods, then optical photon emission for shorter periods seems to be the theme. The energy stored in electronic states. I am posting this on 18 Apr 2021: “persistent luminescence” has

Ben, I read your description and it is clear. I want the flexibility for myself. If the environment and tool it rigid, I know that I won’t be able to build the things I want. That includes (G) gathering and organizing things, (E) exploration and mapping new kinds of things (C) comparison and classification (S)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mvKrwSNy69Q The rovers have x-ray spectrometers to determine elemental compositions of Martian rocks and materials. https://mars.nasa.gov/mer/mission/instruments/apxs/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alpha_particle_X-ray_spectrometer Ralf Gellert is the principle investigator for the Curiosity APXS. I suppose you could ask him if they checked. They probably are doing random samples of everything, and might be able to estimate elemental abundances, including gold, in

My personal feeling is that the false positives were from the deuteron accelerator next door. Or some other power spike from experiments in nearby labs. I was looking at that accelerator because it was for sale. I thought it could be used to make directed and precisely timed gravitational signals to excite the modes in
