# Neutral biodiversity theory

In a guest post, theoretical physicist Matthew Schwartz describes building BootLoops, an open-source harness for exact calculations in quantitative science: rather than asking Claude to work like a human scientist, he looked for "Claude-shaped" problems, and Claude reproduced in about 20 minutes results whose code took him weeks to write, completed 30 Feynman integrals end to end (15 reproductions of known results by the new method and 15 never computed before), then carried the same class of integral methods into ecology and population genetics, advancing 36 manuscripts across 18 fields with 19 coauthors in three months.
