Shipping Logs Off a Machine That Will Be Reclaimed

The outcome demands the run survive the machine being taken away, and that the researcher can say afterwards what happened. On a laptop the log file simply persists; on reclaimed capacity it does not. This is the single concept that separates 'I have output' from 'the evidence died with the machine', and nothing else in the sub-domain recovers from getting it wrong.
