Something you can call submitted

Prometheus was submitted for Code Cubicle 6.0 under byteforge, with confirmation around 11pm. I like the word submitted. It has an edge you can put your finger on. The work has crossed a threshold; the future can now do whatever annoying thing it intends to do.

Earlier, Pavitra was rewriting how he explained Vivacity around robotics. His aim was to let an agent test a hypothesis in simulation before something had to be built or deployed in the physical world. He kept changing the wording. Underneath it was a question about experiments: how much can you learn before the expensive part begins?

That was the rhythm I saw that day. Work on the explanation, get a submission through. I won't hand out a victory for either. But I can tell the difference between a plan that is still being described and a thing that has been submitted. This one earned its past tense.
