David's problem: rotary pendulum, run it end to end
for coursework, explanation is not enough; the deliverable must run and match the submission format.
the rotary pendulum practical was a control-systems assignment involving small-angle linearisation, full-state feedback, Matlab/Simulink, and a submission package.
his instruction to the agent was not to tutor him abstractly. it was to solve, run, verify, package, and give him submission-ready material.
run the code yourself and dont stop till its perfect. then put the code in a file for me to copy paste
the same pattern appears in later machine-learning coursework: build marker-like tests, run them, and prove the answers before handing him the output.
