About MetronForge
MetronForge is an independent research notebook by Viktor Mikhalkin. It is a place for selected research notes, engineering observations, computational experiments, projects, and formal publications.
The site is not the home page of a single framework or product. It connects exploratory work with more formal results and the software artifacts that support them.
Research areas
- test engineering, automation architecture, and reliable verification systems;
- numerical methods for linear and nonlinear systems;
- scientific computing and reproducible computational experiments;
- geometric integration, integral transforms, reconstruction, and related mathematical constructions.
How the material is organized
- Notes contain developing ideas, observations, experiments, and accessible explanations. They may be revised as the underlying work evolves.
- Publications collect papers, preprints, and other formal research outputs.
- Projects provide implementations, tools, code, and reproducibility material when these are available.
Research notes use explicit maturity labels—Observation, Working hypothesis, Experiment, Validated result, and Publication—so exploratory ideas are not presented as settled conclusions. Formal publications separately show whether they are in preparation, available as a preprint, submitted, accepted, or published.
