Definition: Finite adaptive experiment
After Enter: records, instruments, decoders, and cutoffs › D3: finite experiments, resource ledgers, and cutoffs · lines 2408–2415
A finite adaptive experiment is a finite tree of Enter-typed operations with a finite live-resource bound. Controls use only records already produced on the current branch. Its resource ledger states which quantum names are charged, when inputs are delivered, and how surviving and returned outputs are counted.
