Ralphthon @ Science
Ralphthon #3
Manifesto
50% researchers + 50% hackers. Hypothesis → experiment → results in 24 hours.
About
50% researchers, 50% hackers. One team for a single day turning a hypothesis into a measurable result. Seoul, May 10. Ralphthon borrows the ralph wiggum autonomous-agent pattern, validated with 150 people in SF. The day itself flows into the next Research Camp.
Mechanics
Researchers and hackers are paired to turn a hypothesis into a measurable experiment within a single day. 09:00 opening + team match → 10:00 setup (2h) → 12:00 agent loop starts (during lunch) → 14:00 mid check → 16:00 demo prep → 18:00 demos + judging → 20:00 awards + close. Autonomous agents run experiments in the background while teams design the next step.
