E8 Phi-Harmonic Spectral Degeneracy Principle — E8 Intelligence Research

The 240 E8 root vectors naturally partition into 15 conjugate pairs whose angular separations follow phi-coupled ratios, creating degenerate spectral manifolds that simultaneously satisfy both RMT universality and Babylonian sexagesimal harmonic stacking. This degeneracy arises b...

Icosahedral Symmetry and Caspar-Klug Theory Govern Viral Capsid Architecture — E8 Intelligence Research

FINDING: Icosahedral symmetry is the dominant geometric constraint for viral capsid architecture, dictated by Caspar-Klug theory. | MATH: Icosahedral symmetry group (order 60); Caspar-Klug triangulation number T = h² + hk + k², where (h,k) are non-negative integers (e.g., T=1,3,4...

Countercyclical Return Expectations: Evidence from the Livingston Survey

Abstract This paper shows that forecasts from professional economists in the Livingston survey imply countercyclical variation in expected excess returns on U.S. stocks. These expectations are approximately rational and strongly positively correlated with expected excess returns...

AI Security Manuals — Multilingual Version 1.0

AI Security Manuals — Multilingual Version 1.0 is a practical educational collection covering AI governance, risk management, cloud AI security, digital forensics, and AI management systems. The collection includes eight manual families in English, neutral Latin American Spanish,...

Solving 3 × 9 Quoridor with Independently Verifiable Strategy Certificates

The paper solves two previously open configurations for the game Quoridor: the first player forces a win on a 3x9 board with both 9 and 10 walls. For the 10-wall variant, the exact minimax forcing horizon is mathematically proven to be 35 plies. Our results were independently rep...

Multi-Objective Optimization Design of Ring-Shaped CX-ABH Plate for Vibration Reduction and Energy Concentration

The acoustic black hole (ABH) effect, achieved through a power-law thickness profile, has emerged as a powerful technique for passive vibration and noise control in thin-walled structures by slowing and trapping bending waves. However, prevailing research and designs predominantl...

Clean, Pleasant, Governed: A Critical Discourse Analysis of Bathing Without a Battle

Bathing Without a Battle is a widely circulated video training resource in residential dementia care, but the assumptions it advances about bathing, refusal, and appropriate nursing practice have received limited critical attention. This paper analyzes how the text constructs res...

From Fold to Life

Local publication candidate for From Fold to Life, version 1.1.0. Integrates the independent Lean 4 whole-model PASS over 2,777 current claims. An Exact, Zero-Parameter and Machine-Closed Reconstruction of Biology and Life Sciences from Smithian Fold Theory

Field Equations from a Common Foundation

This work derives the Einstein field equations and the equation structure of quantum field theory from a single discrete foundation — the {0,1}³ cube, direction counting, the tick as measurement information (τ = n·tP), and update consistency. Principle I (linearity): the energy l...

An Independent Evaluation of AI Scientist v2 on Biomedical Research Tasks

We conduct a pre-registered independent evaluation of Sakana AI’s AI Scientist v2 on 11 biomedical research prompts spanning epidemiology, pharmacovigilance, medical imaging, respiratory acoustics, drug repurposing, cancer omics, chem-informatics, variant pathogenicity, and adole...

Role-Styled Prompt Injection: An Activation and KV-State Probe in a Compact Language Model

This technical note reports a controlled activation-level experiment on HuggingFaceTB/SmolLM2-135M-Instruct. A linear role probe was trained on content-token activations from identical neutral sentences placed inside native user, assistant, and tool role wrappers. All 24 fixed he...

Zooarchaeology of Houses and Middens: Investigating Patterns of Assemblage Composition at Early Inuit Sites Across the North American Arctic

ABSTRACT This study examines faunal assemblages from paired semisubterranean houses and middens at 10 Early Inuit sites spanning the North American Arctic (ca. 1200–1500 ce ) to evaluate whether local resource bases or other factors primarily structure zooarchaeological variabili...

Improvements of flexible pavement by using recycled material and composite fiber for NT roads infrastructure

This research investigates the use of recycled materials and fiber reinforcement to improve the mechanical and durability performance of flexible pavement, addressing the specific climatic challenge faced by NT road infrastructure.

When the Child Is Not Heard: Children's Rights and Epistemic Injustice in Paediatric Nursing Practice

Children's dignity in hospital care is often framed as a matter of privacy, etiquette, communication, or procedural compliance. A more demanding account is needed. Drawing on the philosophical framework of epistemic injustice, this conceptual article argues that dignity-related h...
