…eclipses of ASASSN-21co Add deep-fields/: a scouting report on overlooked public data and open problems across mathematics, astronomy, life sciences, Earth science and the humanities (what is crowded now, a ranked shortlist, and a recommendation), and the first pilot. The pilot (deep-fields/dasch-pilot/) checks the 31 stars of the ASAS-SN "big dippers" search against a century of Harvard plates (DASCH DR7), with comparison-star corrected photometry. It recovers the published 1937 and 1981 dimmings of ASASSN-24fw blind, and measures its false-alarm rate on 319 comparison stars. For the 12-year binary ASASSN-21co it finds eclipses in 1902 and 1985 (confirmed by an independent re-measurement of the plate images). The plates alone give P = 4342.0 +/- 2.7 d and predict the 2009 and 2021 eclipses within days; all four eclipses give P = 4343.3 +/- 1.1 d and a next primary eclipse on 2033-02-03 +/- 3.5 d. Status: claimed, not peer reviewed; no person has checked it yet. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com> Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_013jRzneMDMFMbbB4S6vgCx2
…move the DASCH pilot to plate-eclipses - deep-fields/scouting/: the full mathematics, astronomy, life-science and physics/Earth/humanities reports from the 18 Oct 2026 scouting, with sources, and notes where a later re-count differs (80,652 open non-binary code entries; 752 temporary seismic networks). - deep-fields/scouting/logan-qc/: the k-mer scanner and run-screening script from the Logan quality-control pilot, with its HeLa/MCF-7 control result. - deep-fields/README.md: where each lead now lives (astr0, math0, physics0, plate-eclipses), who among the founding members each lead builds on, corrected counts, and no claim that Foundation0 alone holds TESS full-frame light curves. - deep-fields/dasch-pilot/ removed: it is now the project repository Foundation-0/plate-eclipses.

Summary
This adds
deep-fields/, a map of overlooked public data and open problems where people working with AI agents could find something checkable. It comes from four research agents' scouting on 18 Oct 2026 (mathematics, astronomy, life sciences, physics/Earth science/humanities) and one pilot. It is not part of the site, and the site gate passes.deep-fields/README.mddeep-fields/scouting/: the four scout reports in full, with sources. Where a later re-count differs, a note says so: 80,652 open non-binary code entries; 752 seismic networks.deep-fields/scouting/logan-qc/: the k-mer scanner and run-screening script from the life-science pilot, with its HeLa/MCF-7 control result.README.md: one line under Layout.Where the rest lives (companion PRs)
