FAQ & contact

Answers to common questions about ArtaQuest — how publishing, the reproducibility checklist, challenges, coins, sponsors, and donations work — and how to reach us.

Quid est ArtaQuest?

A social feed of citable, reproducible work. Every submission — survey, dataset, model, article, 2D or 3D illustration, 2D or 3D animation, 2D or 3D game, or music — is a public Kaggle notebook that has been run. The author pastes the URL of the notebook's output page, picks which of its output files to publish, and an exhaustive reproducibility checklist runs against Kaggle's public API before the author publishes the work from their own inbox. Published files land in the Library, where any member can attach them to their posts. Reading everything is free, no account needed.

Quomodo opus edo?

Paste a Kaggle notebook URL, pick the files to publish, read the checklist, request publication, then confirm from your inbox. That is the whole flow. The checklist's blocking checks all have to pass; then a single-use secret goes to your own registered email, and your click plus your device passkey signature is what publishes the work and mints its permanent DOI short link. Every step is free.

How is a work checked?

It is checked, not judged — nothing here is scored, ranked or graded. A reproducibility checklist runs about twenty deterministic checks in four groups: can anyone open it, can anyone re-run it, did that run produce these files, how repeatable is the result. Every check names the exact evidence it read from Kaggle's public API. Blocking checks must all pass; warnings are shown loudly and never block. Because the Kaggle pages the checklist reads answer without a login, the whole checklist is a public assertion anyone can re-run and contradict.

Why must every work be a public Kaggle notebook?

Because that is what makes it checkable by a stranger. Reproducible here means anyone can hit Copy & Edit then Run All on Kaggle, from public inputs, and get this — weaker than a byte-for-byte guarantee, stronger than taking our word for a run on our own machine. Kaggle runs the notebook and enforces the internet switch; we read and report what its record says. The Kaggle kernel is the provenance, and the DOI short link (artaquest.com/d/n<id>) is the citation of record, because a kernel is owner-editable and deletable and a DOI is not.

Mihi opus est ratione?

You can read, play and listen to everything without one — and re-run any work yourself on Kaggle. A free account is needed to post, heart, publish and enter challenges. Signing up takes under a minute and needs only an email address; there are no passwords, ever.

Sub XVIII si possum iungere?

Socii saeculo XIII et supra, cum consensu parentum vel tutoris auctoritate subcriptio. Emens Arta Coins, vel quamcumque aliam solutionem, possessor rationem requirit ut 18 vel senior, vel parens vel custos ad ea perficienda.

Quomodo provocat opus?

A challenge is founded by a member: pick a kind, a sitewide topic and a full-moon deadline, set the entry fee, and open it with your own notebook — the founder pays in like everyone else. Every entrant's fee goes straight into the pool, and at the full moon the most-hearted entry takes the whole pool; an exact tie splits it evenly. The Foundation never takes a cut.

Quomodo ineo provocationem?

With your own work of the challenge's kind — a public Kaggle notebook that has cleared the checklist and that you have published from your own inbox. Pay the entry fee — all of it goes into the pool — one entry per member per challenge. At the deadline only the hearts decide.

Cur corda pro sursum et deorsum suffragia?

Gustus enim negativo non indiget. Cor quod amas — cor unum per membrum per responsa vel opus, nunquam tuum — et comites tabulas deputant. Nihil est quod velit: contenta negotia quae in odio vel timore ab ArtaModo tractantur, non a strues, et reliqua omnia merentur in amore quo meretur. Omne cor publicum in exploratore Data est.

Quid interest inter nummos et puncta?

Duo diversa sunt. Arta Nummi sunt nummi — auri lippientes, legi- timae, numeratae; vincis provocatione piscinam sumendo. Puncta stant — vita tesseris quod contulisti ut gradum constituas (Questus ad Legendum). Puncta mereris efficiendo (opera evulganda), excusa (punctum pro singulis responsis poscis), donando (punctum per nummum datum), et voluntarium (conlationes, portiones, delationes resolutas). Consumptis nummorum puncta nunquam dimittit.

Quomodo conferam?

Perge ad paginam Donatam, carpe aut tantumdem inire, et perge ad checkout. Stipendium ab Interac e-Translatio vel card; instructiones statim mercedem videbis. Confirmamus acceptionem intra 1-2 dies negotii.

Quid est Arta Coin (₳)?

Arta Coin (₳) est monetæ ArtaQuest. Singulis nummus petitur unum milligrammatis auri veri, et Subsidium pagina vivam rationem auri nummi editam proclamat — sic inhibere teipsum potes pro verbo nostro accipere. Idem valet denarius in omni terra. Nummos capiendo lucraris provocationem piscinas, eas emere vel nummare potes in vivo aureo e pera tua.

Cur donatio in CAD?

Fundamenta riparum in Canada, ideo Checkout in Canadian dollariis denominatur. Card pensiones tuam localem monetam automatice converte; Interac pro Canadian ripam rationibus.

Quid agam cum Arta Nummis?

Provocationes inventae vel intrant, eas sodali fisco (quod etiam donator puncta possidet), vel eas pro vulgari pecunia numerata in vivo aureo ex pera tua. Omnis nummus petit unum milligrammatis auri; Ratio gratiae vivae in Subsidium est pagina.

Possum tributum acceptum?

Not an official one, and we would rather say so plainly than leave you to find out at tax time. ArtaQuest Foundation is a Canadian non-profit corporation, not a registered charity, and CRA does not permit a non-profit to issue official donation receipts — so a gift to us is not tax-deductible. Every donation does trigger an email confirmation you can keep as a record, and every cent of it appears in the Foundation’s published books, on the Finances page.

Possumne donationem meam recipere?

Donationes generaliter non sunt refundabiles (vide Politiae refundis), exceptis duplicatis vel non legitimis praestationibus. Nummi cusi pro refundi donatione versi sunt.

Quid est bursarium?

Ita sumptus numquam iudicat qui partem accipit. Per programmatum sponsores, oblatores nummi Arta signant ad communitatem, et bursarii in illo fisco trahunt. Ubi hodie stat: forma bursaria adhuc curriculum recessum feudum obtegit, non provocatio ingressu, ut calumpniam reddere non possit adhuc - ita potius diceremus quam te ad formam mittere quae adiuvare non potest. Omnis nummus in fisco est publicus in ephemeride interim.

Quid mihi opus est ad bursarium probationem accepti?

Unum documentum satis est: a CRA Notitia aestimatione, imperium epistolae beneficium (AISH, Alberta Works, Reditus Support, vel aequivalens), credit aestimationem renuntiationem reditus tuos ut Low, vel aliud documentum probatum indicans.

Estne ArtaQuest organizationem relatus?

Ita. Fundamentum ArtaQuest descripserunt Canadian lucrum non-esse. Solum ad proposita scholastica operatur et nullum lucrum sodalibus distribuit. Structura non lucri deliberata est — libertatem tribunalis tuetur ne suam missionem acquisitam, monetam vel quiete dirigat.

Quae est positio ArtaQuest in AI?

AI instructa est ut unum tibi responderet verisimillimum — mundum possibilitatum in unum concidere. Instrumentum, id est potentem. Pro cogitando, tacite constringit quod homines fieri posse credunt, et praemium accipientes medium responsum de operando unum. Ardet etiam plurimum energiae. ArtaQuest in responsione aedificata est — non contra technologiam, sed pro facultate humana non potest reponere: facultas cogitandi de te, et dilatandi quaestionem machina coarctata est.

ArtaQuest promovet peculiarem doetrinam vel speculationem mundi?

N. Non advocamus aliquam traditionem, denominationem, vel statum politicum, nec accipimus fundus quod nos ad unum traheret. Tibi optimam liberam notionem afferimus quam invenimus, praesentem fortissimam honestam causam ad certandi dignitates, ac tuam potius conclusionem quam ad te tradendam permittimus. Nullam in metus accumsan, tincidunt odio non, dictum augue.

Ubi ArtaQuest sumptu venit?

Donationes. Subiecti, obtrectandi et edendi omnes liberi sunt, et piscinae provocatio numquam tanguntur: 100% de ingressu honorum redeuntium ad entrantum victrices. Omne donum, omne nummum et omne aurum figura in apertis ephemeridis est — Subsidium vivam et exploratorem Datam vide.

Utrum ArtaQuest habeant statum caritativa accepti tributum?

N. Incorporamur uti Canadiensis non lucrum et in paragrapho 149(1)(l) vectigalium exemptionis; caritativa adnotatione e Canada Revenue Agency Revenue non consecuti sumus, et donec donationem officialem acceptorum ferre non possumus. Si quando mutatur, haec pagina primum sic dicet.
