band 6-8 · the search bench
A search bench where every run wears a meter. Two recipes, linear and binary, race on shelves of sorted cards. The meter counts operations, not time. The count belongs to the recipe, not the machine. The worst case is a plan you can build, not weather.
An algorithm is a recipe with a meter: every run prints its operation count, the count belongs to the recipe not the machine, and the worst case is a plan you can build, not weather.
