NetPhysics prepares predictive-test tools and a review response

NetPhysics, Christopher Hill's independent research project, has prepared release
0.7.0 with a revised elastomer prediction protocol, a reproducible conventional
softening example and code for scoring frozen predictions on independent specimens.

The new protocol places predictive performance against calibrated conventional
rivals ahead of a matched-history null contrast. Software controls are synthetic;
material selection, calibration, experimental sample size and confirmation remain
unfinished. No measured elastomer success is announced.

The release also exposes existing training-model weights for the preserved
573-species PanTHERIA analysis. Its primary 10 kg hinge prediction screen remains
unfavorable. Review claims about a different cohort and completed external records
are marked unverified where supporting records have not been supplied or resolved.
