Replicates of one condition

This page is generated from the code and must not be edited by hand.

Files in one folder whose names differ only by a counting number, such as _001 and _002, are taken as repeats of one condition; amounts with units, such as 10mM, must match in the same places, and a movie and its table are kept apart.

replicates_of_one_condition version 1+d1

• Kind of rule: Which files go together (groups). Says which things count as the same in some respect, and so forms groups.

• What it concludes: equivalent, named same_condition_as, in respect of experimental_condition

• Reasoning: defeasible. A conclusion is usually right, and is retracted when a rule it names concludes against it.

• What it reads: files, which it sorts into groups

Is it available in this version?

Yes. The engine runs it.

What would defeat it

What this rule concludes about something is withdrawn when any of these rules concludes about the same thing:

• filesystem_noise_from_spelling: Files a computer makes on its own, such as .DS_Store or Thumbs.db, are recognized by how their names are spelled and set aside; an office program’s lock file, whose name starts ~$, is left alone, because it means somebody was at work.

• placeholder_from_entry_kind: A shortcut, or a file that claims a size but takes up no room on the disk, is taken to stand in for contents kept somewhere else.

• installed_software_in_folder: A folder is recognized as an installed program, such as a copy of Fiji or a Python environment, from the parts it holds, a name ending .app, its program-style subfolders or a majority of program files; its files are still indexed and read, and rules about experiments leave them alone.

It stands aside beneath every folder one of these rules raises:

• installed_software_in_folder
