Neophronesis Theory: A Thermodynamic Framework for Adaptive Coherence Under Flux

Neophronesis Theory proposes that wisdom, operationally defined as adaptive coherence under flux, reflects thermodynamic necessity rather than cultural preference. The framework advances a strong claim of physical identity — not metaphorical resemblance — between the coherence-ma...

Cross-Constrained Central-Engine Diagnostics in GRB–SN Systems

This work introduces Cross-Constrained Central-Engine Diagnostics (CCD), a methodological framework for evaluating gamma-ray burst (GRB) central-engine interpretations by combining two diagnostic layers that are often treated separately: engine-space plausibility and thermal--non...

Refining the use of seed balls to support seagrass restoration

Abstract Seagrass ecosystems are experiencing rapid global decline, and current seed-based restoration efforts are frequently hindered by severe early-life bottlenecks such as decapod predation and bioturbation. To bypass these ecological feedbacks, encasing Zostera marina seeds...

Quantum Antifragility: Zero Noise Extrapolation Extracts Information from NISQ Noise to Exceed Ideal Integrated Information — Experimental Validation of IIT 5.1 Theorem 8

We present the first experimental demonstration that quantum noise is informative, not merely destructive — validating Theorem 8 of IIT 5.1 (FEP-MaxCal Bridge). Using a 5-qubit GHZ circuit on an AerSimulator calibrated with real IBM Quantum ibm_fez noise parameters (T1=320µs, T2=...
