# Slot: experiment 


_WHERE (short form): an in-study experiment id whose saved result holds the array, resolved within the enclosing study like ``initial_state.source_experiment``. Written as the bare integer id (``34``), or as one of the string spellings the workflow planner also accepts (``exp-34``, ``"34"``) — ``tvbo.data.dataref`` normalises all three to the integer it globs the container by. Mutually exclusive with ``iri`` (the full cross-study / curated / external form). When both are absent the reference is local — ``output`` names this experiment's own output — otherwise falling back to ``initial_state.source_experiment`` when present._
