Beyond Kardashev: The Master Equation of Civilizations (The Maharana Synthesis)
For over sixty years, the Kardashev scale has dominated speculative astrobiology, classifying extraterrestrial civilizations solely by macroscopic power consumption (P). This framework embodies an acute "Wattage Bias"—erroneously equating technological supremacy with cosmic loudn...

Unraveling TeV halos with the Cherenkov Telescope Array
Abstract Pulsars are observed to emit bright and spatially extended gamma-ray emission at multi-TeV energies. These so-called “TeV halos” are now understood to be a nearly universal feature of middle-aged pulsars. However, many of the key physical processes that govern these syst...

Memory capacity and bandwidth are key constraints on GPU fluid solvers at the scales needed for artificial life simulations. This paper presents a GPU-accelerated Stable Fluids solver with an 8-bit block-floating-point (BF8) encoding at memory round-trip points, reducing bandwidt...
