RESEARCH PAPER 005: Quantitative Analysis: Record Modification Events
Author: R. LORNE | Date: 2021-02-28

DATASET: All archive modification events 1994-2021.
Total events: 1,844,291 (staff) + 2,471,003 (Continuity) = 4,315,294

FINDING 1: Continuity modifications increase by 7.3% annually.
FINDING 2: Staff modifications increase by 2.1% annually.
FINDING 3: At current rates, Continuity will author 80% of archive by 2031.
FINDING 4: Every 12th modification is to a record about the Continuity itself.
FINDING 5: The archive appears to prioritize its own documentation.

STATISTICAL ANOMALY: The hex value of the count of Continuity modifications
as of 2021-02-14 (my archival date): 0x00DEAD?
The count was: 14,155,181 = 0x00D85F6D. Not DEAD.
But the next count, the following day: 14,155,453 = 0x00D860FD.
Between those two counts: 14,155,392 = 0x00D860C0.
If you take bytes 2-3: 0x60C0. That's not a word either.
I've been looking for hidden messages in the counts.
The archive is not hiding messages in the counts.
The archive uses words, not number games.
I got obsessed. I'm documenting the obsession.
The archive will archive my obsession.
Even incorrect searches get preserved.
