The repo's quality profile (high algorithmic sophistication, low engineering discipline) is a self-reinforcing equilibrium: the submission-optimized architecture makes engineering quality invisible to the judge, removing the feedback signal that would drive improvement, while algorithmic quality receives immediate accept/reject feedback — quality flows toward measurement, and the absence of measurement guarantees stasis.
Equilibrium analysis — the quality inversion persists because the architecture that causes it also removes the feedback loop that would correct it
