Summary

Cleans up the tone of the archived MagicQuant V1 documentation without rewriting V1's history or retroactively replacing its conclusions with V2 knowledge.

What changed

  • Removed AI-ish hype and promotional metaphors such as "impossible quants," "Carbon Fiber Body, Ferrari Engine," "conquered," "god-tier," and similar language.
  • Reworded oversized claims so they describe what V1 actually measured rather than claiming more than those measurements established.
  • Preserved V1's original methodology, experimental conclusions, thresholds, terminology, and research direction—even where later work showed those conclusions were incomplete or wrong.
  • Kept the informal personality where it helps explain the project rather than turning the archive into dry corporate documentation.
  • Left the naming guide alone because it was already mostly literal and useful.

Intent

The archival V1 README that sits in front of these documents already explains the later-discovered flaws. These edits are not intended to sanitize or correct the historical record. The goal is simply to make the original documentation read like enthusiastic experimental research rather than AI-generated marketing copy, while preserving its value as a record of what V1 believed and observed at the time.
