The Distributed Algorithmic Boundary: When the System No Longer Coincides with the Machine

For much of the history of computing, the material boundary of a computational system could be represented with relative simplicity: processors, memory, storage, and software execution were located within machines whose participation in the system was architecturally specified in...

Claim-Level Verification for AI-Assisted Mathematics: A Kernel-Closed Hamilton Classification and a Mixed-Boundary Rado Study

Proof Engine programme: companion case study. For the flagship methodological account, start with Proof Engine Infrastructure. AI-assisted mathematical work often combines formal proofs, solver outputs, and explicit witnesses. Readers need to know which claim each object supports...

Preregistration: null distributions across a family of time windows — CHRONOS, track A

Preregistration of an examination of the combination step in J. Ellis,R. Konoplich, N. E. Mavromatos, A. S. Nguyen, A. S. Sakharov andE. K. Sarkisyan-Grinbaum, Phys. Rev. D 99, 083009 (2019). Criteria,thresholds, random seeds and controls were fixed before any computation. This v...

The Habiballah Cycle of Gravity

The Habiballa Cycle of Gravity Gravity ∝ Proton Rotation Speed × Universal Magnetic Field The entire universe begins from pressure in "True Free Space". ∂f/∂ρ > k_c. At the critical threshold ∂f/∂ρ > k_c the first discharge occurs .2. Proof of Discharge: The White Lightning Light...

From Persona to First Person: Event Trajectories, Candidate Autobiography, and Provenance-Sensitive Ownership Judgments Across Model Families

An independent, non-institutional exploratory study of event trajectories, candidate autobiography, and provenance-sensitive ownership judgments across model families. The record contains the canonical Version 0.2 PDF and a public-safe redacted evidence package. The results are m...

BIT-CAUSAL-XD-001-REL-001 — Cross-Domain Tính-Lưu-Hành Causal Semantics: Terminal Public-Audit Release

Terminal public-audit release of BIT-CAUSAL-XD-001, a cross-domain typed causal representation built around the author-originated Tính-Lưu-Hành formulation. F5-R3 remains OPENED_HOLD_WITH_SCOPE. Checker-M and Checker-N agree on 36/36 full result envelopes and 36/36 generated exac...

Structural Frontiers in Constructed Systems: Domains of Validity and Emergent Structural Effects

ABSTRACT Persistent patterns of confinement, sensitivity to initialization and diminishing qualitative returns from increasingly sophisticated tuning strategies are widely reported across heuristic search and optimization contexts. These phenomena are commonly interpreted as algo...

The Axiom of Mind: An Open Letter to Professor Koch on the Fractal Nature of Consciousness (Parts I–II) + Addendum: Dynamical Φ

This publication formally records the "Axiom of Mind" formulated by Vladislav Stukalov: "The Mind is not solely biological. It is a computational process that can exist on any foundation. This foundation determines its limitations, but not its value." Drawing upon the Integrated...

A Modified Delphi Study on the Ethics and Governance of Live Injecting at Aesthetic Conferences. Is There a Better and Safer Alternative?

BACKGROUND: Live clinical demonstrations at aesthetic medicine conferences is common, yet concerns regarding patient safety, commercial influence, and ethical governance. This study established a consensus-based governance framework for live injecting and compared expert and atte...

The Randomization Effect in a Double-Blind Placebo-Controlled Depression Study

BACKGROUND: Double-blind, placebo-controlled trials are often affected by higher-than-anticipated placebo responses that may contribute to study failure. It is common to observe symptomatic improvement immediately after randomization regardless of treatment allocation. METHODS: T...

Beyond Kernel Verification: The Missing Engineering Layer of Mathematics

AI systems can now produce mathematical arguments and formal proof code quickly. This does not make verification a single solved problem. A Lean file may compile while the announced theorem still depends on an unresolved citation, transport, computation, or project axiom. Even af...

Integrating generative AI into knowledge management: A mixed-methods framework with machine learning–assisted conceptual coherence illustration

Background Generative artificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly transforming knowledge management (KM) in knowledge-based organizations (KBOs). This study examines the integration of generative AI into KM within the United Arab Emirates (UAE), focusing on the technological, hu...

BIT-LMIND-BMS-001-F6-R1-TC — Independent-Research Terminal Closure and Public Handoff

Terminal independent-research checkpoint for the BIT Living Mind Body-Mind-Soul formal architecture. The deposit freezes the exact F3.3-to-F6-R1 lineage, scoped analytic and finite executable evidence, six unresolved external/Lean gates, a complete Host-2/Lean handoff capsule, an...

BIT-DCCC-001: Dynamic Coalition Capability Closure — Formal Architecture, Analytic Proof, Finite Regression, and Lean 4.30.0 Mechanization Handoff

BIT-DCCC-001 introduces Dynamic Coalition Capability Closure, a pre-canonical formal programme for reasoning about capabilities that emerge when multiple agents, tools, credentials, data, channels, policies and mandates are dynamically composed. The programme separates capability...

Areas add, entropies do not: an additivity obstruction to region-wise Barrow-entropic cosmology

I show that the surface degree-of-freedom count used in emergent-gravity and holographic-equipartition cosmology cannot be assigned separately to sub-regions unless Barrow's deformation parameter vanishes, and I quantify the resulting error. Barrow entropy S ∝ A^(1+Δ/2) is non-ad...

AI-Based Quantitative Concrete Crack Assessment and Structural Health Monitoring Framework

Visual inspection of reinforced concrete infrastructure is a fundamental pillar of structural asset management and lifecycle integrity assessment. Traditional inspection methods rely predominantly on manual visual surveys, handheld crack comparators, and subjective field notes, i...
