#!/bin/sh # fplearn.sh -- the template-learning measurement, as a protocol rather than a # pile of remembered commands. # # fplearn.sh snapshot [name] save the current template aside (forensics # only -- see restore) # fplearn.sh restore REFUSES: a restore DESTROYS the template on # this device, see the note in the command # fplearn.sh wipe remove every stored template (backup first) # fplearn.sh enrol [finger] enrol at the config's sample count # fplearn.sh base [n] [w] trial with learning OFF (the baseline) # fplearn.sh trend [n] [w] three trials with learning ON # fplearn.sh sizes just print the template container sizes # # SNAPSHOT BEFORE EVERY MEASUREMENT BLOCK. Learning rewrites the template in # place, so without a snapshot an improvement cannot be attributed: a rate that # climbs over an evening is equally explained by the template getting better, by # the SENSOR being wiped clean, or by the USER learning where the sensor likes # to be pressed (Jorijn, 2026-09-04, having spotted both while the numbers were # still going up). All three move the same way on the same time axis. # # A snapshot makes the paired test possible: measure the learned template, then # restore the older one and measure again WITHIN THE SAME SESSION, so the sensor # is equally clean and the user equally practised for both halves. A rate that # falls back on restore is learning. A rate that stays up is not. # # WIPE FIRST when re-enrolling a finger that is already in the group. Measured # 2026-09-04: the duplicated-finger check refuses a finger the group already # holds -- 0 accepted of 7 presses, rc=0 on every one, while a never-enrolled # finger progressed normally. Re-enrolment ADDS a template and there is no # trustlet-side remove, so the old one has to go first. `enrol` refuses a # finger name that is already in the map and points here. # # WHY IT IS SHAPED LIKE THIS. Learning is cumulative: every matched press folds # frames into the stored template, so a second run is not a repeat of the first # and an A/B against a moving template is not an A/B at all. The only honest # comparison is on ONE template lineage, in order: # # 1. enrol a fresh template, 20 samples, no position prompts -- # which is also the outstanding replication of the 7/10 # result, the one measurement this lane was parked on # 2. base learning off: the clean number for THIS template, and # the only figure comparable to every rate in the journal # 3. trend learning on, three times: the rate should climb, and # the container size is an independent witness that it # is the template moving and not the weather # # Do NOT read run 1 of the trend as "learning made it better".
