The Kaiying Test II: A Comparative Intervention Framework for Mapping Self–Environment and Continuity-Sensitive Response Signatures Across Biological and Artificial Systems

Debates about artificial consciousness face a methodological asymmetry. Consciousness in other humans and animals is not directly observed; it is inferred from converging evidence. Yet artificial systems are often asked either to satisfy an undefined stronger standard of direct p...

Determinacy Is Not Emergence: Clarifying Dynamical Indeterminism, Causal Emergence, and Probabilistic Futures

Three ideas are often discussed in neighboring vocabularies but answer different questions: whether a physical theory is dynamically deterministic, whether a system exhibits causal emergence across scales, and whether an observer should represent the future probabilistically. Thi...

Rough Factor Layers Near the Linear-Sieve Boundary in Binary Goldbach

We study \(N^\rho\)-rough reflected complements \(N-p\) in the binary Goldbach problem through their exact number of prime factors. For \[\frac15<\rho<\frac14,\] every surviving complement has at most four prime factors. Writing \(T_k(N,\rho)\) for the layer with \(\Omega(N-p)=k\...

Dynamic Safety Governance for Financial Stability: A Regulatory Framework for Flow-Capacity Monitoring and Contingent Readiness under Model Ambiguity

Purpose — This paper develops a regulatory framework for connecting system-wide liquidity surveillance to preparedness and intervention when financial flows, stress-period capacity and behavioral responses are uncertain. Design/methodology/approach — The paper integrates establis...

Dynamic Safety Governance for Financial Stability: A Regulatory Framework for Flow-Capacity Monitoring and Contingent Readiness under Model Ambiguity

Purpose — This paper develops a regulatory framework for connecting system-wide liquidity surveillance to structural prevention, preparedness and intervention when financial flows, stress-period capacity and behavioral responses are uncertain. Design/methodology/approach — The pa...

Beyond Capital and Labour: The Firm as a Flow Architecture for Organizational Value Creation

Why do firms with similar capital, labour, technologies, and market access produce radically different outcomes? This conceptual paper develops a dynamical architecture of organizational value creation. It treats the firm as a cross-temporal flow architecture through which resour...

Flow Shaping Principle — Correspondence-Calibrated Pathway-Specific Updating

Adaptive systems can assign persistent change to configurations through which consequential episodes pass. This paper formulates the Flow Shaping Principle (FSP) as a falsifiable claim about veridical consequence-configuration correspondence. FSP concerns active updating only. Fo...

Connection Theory: A General Framework for Adaptive Network Dynamics — From Temporally Extended Existence to Emergent Dynamic Properties

Biological organisms and autonomous artificial systems exhibit adaptive behavior through fundamentally different physical mechanisms. This paper proposes Connection Theory, a general framework for investigating organizational dynamics shared by adaptive systems with different imp...
