Optimizing Research Effort
--------------------------

Research can be characterized by the following pseudocode::

  do
      collect data
      observe data
      posit theory
  
      do
          refine theory

          do
              perform data analysis
              evaluate theory
  
          until theory_is_tested
  
      until theory_is_satisfactory

      publish conclusions

  while resources_and_interest_are_available

SyQADA's role is to optimize the inner do-loop by minimizing the
scientist's effort in repeating the data analysis, thus making data
collection and theory evaluation the limiting factors on production.
