Polygenic risk scoring in forensic psychiatry: Predictive validity, evidentiary standards, and a proposed auditability framework

Corrected author preprint, version 0.2, 14 September 2026. This version supersedes the substantive claims of the earlier preprint. It is not a journal acceptance or journal publication. Polygenic risk scores summarize genetic liability but do not establish individual diagnosis, i...

From radiology benchmark scores to patient benefit: a completed exploratory stock-model comparison and a conditional impact model

Completed exploratory comparison: Athena 191/210 (90.95%), stock Astra 193/210 (91.90%). Stock scored higher descriptively; this non-resource-matched evaluation does not establish a scaffold-specific causal effect, Harrison superiority, clinical safety or lives saved. Completes t...

Research catalogue: twelve public preprints and their verified repository links, 13 September 2026

A catalogue of twelve distinct public research works (preprints) by R. E. W. Kho, updated on 13 September 2026, version 0.2. The completed radiology version replaces the earlier version within the same work; it is not a thirteenth research work. This index is a finding aid, not a...

Accuracy is not mortality: corrected impact framework for psychiatric and genomic decision support

AI-assisted methodological correction and replacement impact framework, not a clinical efficacy study. This note identifies and corrects unsupported attribution of an external diagnostic-accuracy result to a proprietary engine, transport of attempt-population fractions to suicide...

Research catalogue: twelve public preprints and their verified repository links, 9 September 2026

A dated finding aid to twelve public research preprints by R. E. W. Kho. This catalogue is not an additional research study, a journal-acceptance list, or evidence of peer review or clinical benefit. It includes the new incomplete radiology evaluation and the correction of unsupp...

From radiology benchmark scores to patient benefit: a sealed exploratory evaluation of Athena, an incomplete stock-model control, and a conditional impact model

AI-assisted exploratory research preprint, not peer reviewed or clinically validated. A public-availability radiology subset contained 210 questions. The live Athena session scored 191/210. On the same 110 completed stock-control questions, Athena scored 97/110 and stock Astra 10...

AUGMENTING THE HUMAN INTELLECT - A PRACTICAL APPLICATION

Background. A polygenic score is a population-level instrument. When a percentile from one is returned to a single person, it is routinely read as a forecast of that person. This report examines what one such percentile does and does not license in the individual who carries it....

The Hecate: An Integration-Gate Scoring Protocol and a 430-Row Cross-Substrate Census of Consciousness States

This paper defines a named measurement unit, the hecate (Hc), and an integration-gate function ordering biological and artificial states: Hc = K · λ^b · σ(κ(φ − φ0)), with one healthy awake adult (H-89) fixed at 1.000 Hc and no scale factor. The unit is provisional. The gate is f...

The Hecate: An Integration-Gate Scoring Protocol and a 430-Row Cross-Substrate Census of Consciousness States

This paper defines a named measurement unit, the hecate (Hc), and an integration-gate function ordering biological and artificial states: Hc = K · λ^b · σ(κ(φ − φ0)), with one healthy awake adult (H-89) fixed at 1.000 Hc and no scale factor. The unit is provisional. The gate is f...

A Consistency Ledger for the First Black Hole Star, MoM-BH*-1: Two Predictions, Ten Consistency Checks and One Envelope-Mass Test

MoM-BH*-1, a source at redshift z = 7.7569, some 660 million years after the Big Bang, was first identified in a preprint posted 20 March 2025 (Naidu et al. 2025, arXiv:2503.16596) and later published in Nature on 12 August 2026, as a black hole embedded in a dense, dust-free hyd...

THE VARIANCE THESIS: NEURODIVERGENCE AS A DISTRIBUTION-WIDTH CLAIM AND THE ENGINEERING CASE FOR CONTAINMENT INFRASTRUCTURE

Neurodivergence is frequently framed as a superiority claim. The evidence does not support this. The defensible claim is narrower: cognitive outliers are not shifted upward as a population; they are spread wider. This paper assembles three convergent lines of association, not cau...

AUGMENTING THE MACHINE INTELLECT - A PRACTICAL APPLICATION

A language model's context ends at the turn boundary. It generates no pressure against its own draft unless something outside it manufactures one. It has no mechanism for electing silence: the interface returns text or it returns nothing, but nothing is not a decision the model i...

The Formula of Consciousness: A Gated Stochastic-Volatility Process, its Parameterisation to the Hecate Scale, and its Parameter Regimes

A companion paper fixed a static scoring function, Hc = K · λ^b · S(β(φ - φ0)), and evaluated it once per system. This paper treats that snapshot as one reading of a process: C(t) is defined as a gated stochastic-volatility exponential: an operations term Λ(t), an integration gat...

An Upper Bound on Atomic-Structure Corrections to the Germanium X-Ray Bound on CSL

The strongest experimental bound on white, mass-proportional continuous spontaneous localization (CSL) at the canonical correlation length rC = 10-7 m is the Majorana Demonstrator's 2022 search for collapse-induced X-ray emission from germanium (Phys Rev Lett 129, 080401). That b...
