RESEARCH & EDUCATION
From the question to a finding others can retrace.
Document experiments, analyse data, publish results and develop them further together.
The problem
Research loses time at the boundaries between tools.
Devices, measurement data, scripts, notes, publication and communication all sit apart from each other.
Every crossing between them costs time — and at every one, a piece of the connection is lost.
What somsorium turns that into
One sequence instead of six tools.
Experiment, measurement, analysis and publication are meant to belong to one path that others can follow.
What was measured, under which conditions and with which result, stays connected.
The building blocks
Which part of the path each one takes on.
laborium — experiment and measurement
Connects setup, measurement data, devices and documentation. Runs locally and offline, on a Raspberry Pi too.
smolit — analysis and assistance
Analyses data where it already sits. Sensitive work stays on local models; every action that reaches outside needs your approval.
mesorium — publishing and discussion
Publish results and context, ask questions, show counter-examples and suggest variants.
smolit node — running it locally
For when the services should run on your own network — in the lab, in the institute, in the school.
The path
From setup to replication.
That is how the sequence is meant to work. How far the individual steps carry today is further down.
- Question
- Setup
- Measurement
- Analysis
- Publication
- Discussion
- Replication
For teaching and citizen science the same sequence applies on a smaller scale: getting started should not require programming.
Where we stand
What of that holds up today.
- laborium holds setup, measurement series and approvals together, and runs locally. The interfaces shown work with demo data; the first use in a real lab is still ahead of us.
- Publishing a structured project in full — measurement setup, data and analysis as one connected whole — is something we are still building out. What works today is publishing results and context, and discussing them.
- The full chain from the question to a published finding does not yet run end to end. That is exactly what we are working on next.
- A parts list and build plans for the lab hardware are planned, but not published yet.

Take part with a project of your own.
Our first test circle is planned for up to 5 organisations and 500 individuals. We are setting up the first real test environments now.
