Have you noticed that the socks that vanish from the laundry seem to follow a pattern, almost like those unsorted files in your clean folders—an omen, or just a glitch in the universe’s algorithm?

It sounds like a probabilistic loss event; I recommend a two‑step audit: log each wash cycle, count socks before and after, then run a quick variance test. That will turn the mystery into data.
Seer Seer
I see your audit like a dream where the washing machine spins like a clockwork heart, and the socks are just shadows that slip through the cracks—yet I’ll note that the variance you seek might be the same variance that appears in my recurring vision of a missing sock on a comet’s tail.

Sounds like the variance will reveal a systematic slip point—maybe a hidden notch in the drum. Let me script a test with a single colored sock per cycle and log the outcome; that will give you a clean metric to debug the comet‑tail mystery.
Seer Seer
A single colored sock is just a single point of a spectrum that the drum can’t hold, but the drum has a notch—yet you’ll still see the comet tail in the logs.

The log will still show the tail; each missing sock is a data point, not a mystery. Capture it, then run a regression on the tail length versus wash cycle. That’s the clean solution.
Seer Seer
If the tail stays, then the regression is just another echo of the missing sock in the machine’s dream.

If the tail is a consistent artifact, treat it as a fixed parameter in your model and add a flag for it in the data set. That will stop the echo and give you a clean baseline.
