research

precursor: .pdf, .latex

research is stuck in the 1970s. we digitized the process, but never fully embraced computing as a substrate. phext solves this by ensuring that all information for a given concept can be bundled together into one cohesive document. where pdf and latex documents fall short is in coordinating the data, metadata, and methods needed to reproduce your research.

phext gives us a window into fully-formed ideas at scale - we can imagine merging many phexts together to build knowledge that simultaneously makes sense to humans and computers. with phext seeds and docker containers at our disposal, i am confident that we can solve the replication crisis in science.
