Looking at https://research.wmz.ninja/projects/phd/rulesets/default/eve... provides most of the key 'game loops', i.e.

# idea -> prelim -> major -> 2 figures -> submitted paper

interesting to see the hypothesis about reading more papers being borne out:

# increase the success rate as the player reads more papers probability: 0.60 + player.readPapers / 100 - itemCount('idea') / 20

Also interesting to see that passing the qualification exam provides the largest player.hope boost (+10)

Was fun to see the TooManyIdeas random event - now to actually get it to trigger.
