Downvoted for sheer repetitive drudgery, without genuine motivation for the reader. How many chapters before you show us a real-world instance of CRM achieving progress in research?

When Eliezer had a sequence to write, each post was (1) interesting to read on its own, (2) connected to some real event/interesting story/experimental data, and (3) clearly adding something new to the conversation. You would do well to work on those aspects of your writing.
