How about a section called Laboratory?

[Zineth-Pagnae]

So, what if there was a section called the Lab for sharing experiments?
I know maybe the Journal section already does that in a way, but the way I see it a journal as it is categorized here is more within the long term and overall experience of the practitioner within a given term, approach or story context, which makes a lot of sense. And yes experience and experiment share the same root, and an experiment does tell a story, but what I mean by experiments for this suggestion is a bit more specific > Namely, concise deliberate artificial phenomena created by the practitioner in order to advance in whatever approach is being experimented with. If Journal is imagined as the general scope, an experiment would be a zoom towards a specific experience that is investigated/practiced to be further understood. Regardless of whether the experiment is instrumentalized or otherwise. Such experiments could be socialized and discussed within a section called the Laboratory/Lab.
I also thought Tutorials could be comparable to an extent to this concept of experiment in the Forum but as far as I understand a Tutorial, it involves a more authoritative tone that says How to, while an experiment takes the playful liberty to ask A question and try to prove if it holds true in some way. And true, an experiment is indeed a tutorial, for every experiment tells you how to be replicated, at least implicitly, often explicitly. Though in this case, arguably, every experiment is a tutorial, not every tutorial is an experiment.
I suggest the Lab could be located within the Academy (?) and/or The Order (?) I don't know, what do you think of it all?

Suggestion and implementation yourself!

Semantically, the definition of journal suggests that, yes, but that doesn't mean everything in that section is held to that standard... there are plenty of short journals there.

If Journal is imagined as the general scope, an experiment would be a zoom towards a specific experience that is investigated/practiced to be further understood

Completely unnecessary and gross dilution/overuse of sections. I can't be making new sections for every minor variation of some definition.
The Journal section will more than suffice for this kind of thread, and at most I will consider a new [Prefix] in that section like [Experiment]

I also thought Tutorials could be comparable to an extent to this concept of experiment in the Forum but as far as I understand a Tutorial, it involves a more authoritative tone that says How to, while an experiment takes the playful liberty to ask A question and try to prove if it holds true in some way.

There you have it. Make a short journal while exploring a new idea, then when you've got something solid, simply make a tutorial thread.

Fair enough, thanks for the thoughtful response.
