EXPcalibur guide

What the two saved CLASSIC binaries show.

CLASSIC apex: what changed in the saved binaryCLASSIC apex: what changed in the saved binaryWHAT THE CLASSIC APEX README DESCRIBESOne apex region, several readingsChanged code later runs (PHOENIX).An operand byte also runs (JANUS).A computed value chooses a jump (VECTOR).Apex response inside the botThe VM computes an economy reply.The host still checks whether each chaincounts.THE PRESERVED BEFORE / AFTER COMPARISONPredecessorSeven accepted chains.Its exact construction is not saved.Keff = 7.CLASSIC apexThe same seven, plus LOCKSMITH.Image and stack roles overlap in guestmemory.Keff = 8.one additional chainThe extra chain affects limited power after its host check passes and its meter fills.A pilot still needs hits, drops and pickups; the exact original pilot source is not saved.We know the chain counts. We do not know if both bots use the same bytes.

The apex README describes one code region with several uses and a program that calculates economy replies. The earlier bot earns seven chains. Its exact byte method is unknown. The larger apex adds LOCKSMITH.
