GoKawiilPhysicist builds BootLoops toolkit after letting Claude pick its own math problems
Prof. Matthew Schwartz describes developing BootLoops, a toolkit for exact calculations in quantitative science, after changing his approach to working with Claude. Rather than directing Claude toward specific physics problems, he let the model identify calculations suited to its own capabilities, which surfaced connections across fields including ecology and population genetics. Schwartz then collaborated with domain experts to refine these findings into questions those fields actually find meaningful.
