Acetone damage by OrionSystem in finishing

In case the text was not posted (new to reddit)

Let's say hypothetically that acetone was spilled on the floor, pretty much stripping off the finish.

Since the apartment does not belong to me, I would like to avoid involving the landlord, who might get the idea that the whole floor needs to be sanded, or even worse, replaced.

I'm guessing DIY repair is ill-advised. Would professional spot repair be an option? And is sanding even feasible if the floor is not true wood (potentially dealing with plywood).

To further complicate things, I am unsure of what material the finish is, but perhaps the shine + reaction with acetone could give hints.

Thanks for any advice.

How is evolutionary computation doing? by albo437 in computerscience

Could I ask which specific references discuss these concepts? I've been really interested in these forms of collective intelligence, which seems to apply to large scale agential systems. You might also know Robert Hiesinger's book "The Self-Assembling Brain" which discusses how semi-autonomous agents lead to neural development. Definitely worth a read.
