Reply to a package

If your lab received a candidate package by email, this is the way its result gets back into the system. Each package carries a token of the form OMEGA-xxxxxxxxxxxx (twelve hex characters) and states the measurement that would refute it. Your reply is recorded against that package and nothing else.

POST /api/labs/reply

It is in the subject line and body of the package email. Case does not matter.

Verdict

A refutation is recorded exactly as a confirmation is. Either one is the outcome the package was sent to obtain.

What happens to a reply

  • The reply is written to file only if the token belongs to a package a person actually sent and the verdict is one of the words above. Otherwise nothing is written and this page tells you why.
  • On the next ingestion pass it is matched to its package by the token, and the result is recorded against the candidate that produced it: confirmed, refuted, or inconclusive.
  • The count of results received on the home page is the count of replies like yours. It is the only outcome this system reports.
  • A reply you cannot make here, or a result that needs a file attached: write to [email protected] quoting the token. A person reads it.
