Soil health assessment using buried cotton underpants with the help of 1000 citizen scientists
Societal Impact Statement Soil is a vital resource for life on Earth. Although many soils are degraded, societal awareness of soil‐related issues is limited. To highlight soil as a key resource and fascinating study system, we initiated a citizen science project together with 100...

Research Note 14 of the INDYNA program: the golden ladder. This note assembles the complete ladder of golden-ratio level crossings of the conjugate-shell family and its quantum-spin extension. The record includes the full LaTeX source and a self-contained Python script (reproduce...

Research Note 12 of the INDYNA program. This note studies the interplay of the Galois involution σ, the field norm, and coupling inversion g → 1/g in the conjugate-shell family: the three operations generate the symmetry group of the phase diagram, and their invariants classify t...

The Galois Norm as a Discrete Minkowski Metric: Golden Units as Boosts (Research Note 11)
Research Note 11 of the INDYNA program. This note connects the Galois structure of conjugate-shell operators with Minkowski-type lattice embeddings: the two Galois embeddings of ℚ(√5) place each shell datum and its conjugate side by side, and the geometry of this embedding organi...

Research Note 10 of the INDYNA program. This note analyzes the self-dual point of the conjugate-shell operator family: the duality W H(g) W† = g·H(1/g) pairs every coupling g with its inverse, and the self-dual coupling plays a distinguished role in the level-crossing structure....
