Object-Oriented for the CVM (Continued), and an Oops!

Why Shifting to the Object-Oriented Coding Approach REALLY IS Important:   Well, I hate having to admit it. Mud on my face; all that. But I made a pretty significant Whoops! back this last winter when I posted a “Verification and Validation” document (hah!) to arXiv.     The Sad Story of My Previous Ineptitude   Well, there’s nothing like hearing about someone else’s screw-up in order to make us feel better about our own life, so here goes. I’d…

2-D Cluster Variation Method: Code V&V

New Code (Not Released Yet): V&V the Code Before We Play:   Well, my darling, as you gathered from last week’s post, the world has shifted. Up until now, when we were talking about having a new free energy function to use inside a neural network, we had to do “Gedankenexperiments” (German for “thought experiments”). Now, though, there’s working code – and I so LOVE seeing the numbers and graphs come out; teasing it, playing with it … stroking it…
