ARTICLE X: THE PENDULUM AND THE AI CROSSROADS
Classical astrophysics and terrestrial security paradigms operate on the assumption of isolation. This manuscript supersedes that paradigm, formally reclassifying the Earth as the epicenter of an asymmetric, hyper-dimensional hostage standoff. Bypassing standard astropolitics, th...

Gender Roles in Chinese Children’s Picture Books: A Descriptive Content Analysis
Early childhood is a critical period for gender-role development, and picture books are one of the important mediums through which children encounter social expectations about gender. However, limited research has compared gender roles in Chinese-authored and non-Chinese-authored...

Classical slice calculus established by Newton and Leibniz relies on four fictitious transcendental presuppositions: absolute continuous real lines, objective infinitesimals, executable infinite iteration, and globally smooth spacetime geometry. It artificially truncates the bidi...

FINDING: The golden ratio φ has the lowest irrationality measure (μ=2) among all irrationals, making it the "most irrational" number, which minimizes overlap in iterative rotational processes. | MATH: φ = (1+√5)/2 ≈ 1.618033988749895; irrationality measure μ(φ)=2 (the minimum pos...

OTSOW (Obidowski Theory for the Stability of Open Wormholes) is a methodological programme for evaluating stability claims concerning two-ended wormhole backgrounds. The study combines two explicitly separated computational testbeds. The first examines a constrained two-scalar wo...

This paper formalizes a foundational law of energetic mechanics, asserting that any manifest physical entity is governed by the simultaneous and perpetual interaction of two opposing vectors: centripetal and centrifugal motions. We establish that physical stability is an active e...

Beyond N: A Synchronized Observability Model for the Fermi Paradox
The Fermi paradox conflates two quantities: the number of civilizations that have existed, and the number that are observable by us. We present the Synchronized Observability Model (SOM), a falsifiable forward likelihood for the communication form of the paradox that synthesizes...

BACKGROUND: Renal pelvis epidermoid cysts are extremely rare and often misdiagnosed as stones or tumors. Only one previous case has been treated via the percutaneous approach (PCN). CASE PRESENTATION: A 67-year-old diabetic female on Empagliflozin presented with imaging suggestiv...

The Measurement Axioms: A Doctrine and Specification for Governance Verdict Validity
A governance verdict is a measurement of a claim about a system. A measurement that was not taken must not be reported as one that passed.This release contains the doctrine, the normative specification extracted from it, and an audit of the authors' own runtime against it.The doc...

The intersection of artificial intelligence (AI) and virtual reality (VR) technologies is transforming digital ecosystems quickly, and it is providing innovative solutions in the creative, educational, and commercial worlds. However, such rapid acceleration poses unseen moral dil...

A Spatial Mean‐Mixture Gaussian Model for Skewed Geostatistical Data
ABSTRACT Gaussian random fields (GRFs) are often used to model spatial dependence in many geostatistical applications. However, environmental data, such as water quality measurements, often exhibit substantial skewness which violates the Gaussian assumption. Ignoring this skewnes...

Abstract Aromatic esters are key determinants of apple fruit aroma and consumer preference. Here, we investigated the molecular mechanisms underlying ester biosynthesis by characterizing MdAAT2-like , a critical ester-synthesizing gene in apple. MdAAT2-like expressions were signi...

Physics from Existence I: The Equation
No theory has simultaneously derived all 26 free parameters of the Standard Model. In this paper, extending the quantum indefiniteness of existence to the existence of the universe itself, we show that three axioms about existence — existence is bivalent (n ∈ {0,1}, i.e. n² = n),...

Vision-language agents for sustainable tourism
Abstract This study develops and evaluates an image-grounded sustainable tourism guidance app designed to promote sustainable tourism. The application utilizes vision-language models and AI agents to transform minimally annotated destination images into actionable sustainable tra...

PAPER-FBT01A: Symplectic Pairing, Connection Curvature, and Dual-Phase Readout
This paper revises the curvature analysis of the Fracture–Berry–Tension (FBT) carrier geometry in light of the updated foundational structure established in FBT0A and FBT0B. In the current formulation, the minimal six-dimensional carrier is the coherent-state symplectic readout B...
