- GENERAL
Independent reproduction is the repetition of a result by a genuinely separate person, team or implementation that is not simply reusing the original calculation.
It provides stronger evidence against unnoticed shared errors than an internal cross-check. Riemann Console therefore distinguishes its own alternative calculations from external independent mathematical or computational reproduction.
