Laboratorium

Laboratorium is the structured morning work block observed during the Convox. Participants go to designated rooms to work on specific assignments with others similarly tasked, producing results that are circulated and weighed later in the day.

Daily rhythm and placement

• Occurs ante Provener, anchoring the first part of the working day.
• Findings commonly feed into evening messals, where doyns and servitors discuss implications and next steps.
• By contrast, informal night work called “Lucub” is pursued after messals, and mid‑day mixing happens during a period referred to as Periklyne. Speakers note that Lucub work is not talked about as readily as what is done in Laboratorium.

Function and practice

• Work is organized by hierarchs: attendees are assigned to a place and a team to prosecute a defined task.
• “Laboratorium results” are treated as timely, sharable outputs that can prompt new messals and steer wider efforts.

Example in current inquiry

• Results reported from Laboratorium include analyses of four vials of fluid recovered with the probe at Ecba. These reports state that each sample’s nuclei are incompatible with the matter of Arbre and mutually incompatible with one another, a finding used to frame discussions about the Geometers and differing kinds of matter. Earlier talk had described visitor artifacts and tissues as newmatter; the new results have led some speakers to revise how they describe what was found.

Status

• Active throughout the Convox at Tredegarh, with participants expecting to spend mornings in Laboratorium. Its outputs are a principal input to the day’s coordinated work and conversation.
