The statement that General Relativity falls out of string theory is memorable but easy to misunderstand. A perturbative string background is described by a two-dimensional quantum field theory. Its couplings include the target-space metric, antisymmetric tensor, dilaton, and, in...

This paper asks a narrower and more useful question than whether quantum field theory can be reconstructed from classical ensemble statistics. Let an admissible coherence-basin space carry a probability measure and bounded basin observables. We prove that these data have a canoni...

From Energy to Helical Photon Geometry
A photon is a fully specified helical energy flow—radius r = λ/(2π), pitch p = λ—determined by its angular momentum L = ℏ and energy E = ℏω, with no free parameters. Wave and particle properties are projections of this single three-dimensional flow: a sinusoid viewed transverse t...

Accountable Architecture for Thinking Under Uncertainty
Existing theories of consciousness lack a measurable criterion for accountability: the ability of a system to identify and isolate the source of its own errors. Without this criterion, it is impossible to formalise self-correction or assess cognitive processes. This paper introdu...

We construct a Hermitian operator HPCF whose spectrum approximates the non-trivial zeros of the Riemann ζ function with mean error <1.7% across twelve orders of magnitude (n=1 to n=1012, 125 zeros). The construction proceeds without reference to ζ(s) or its zeros, drawing instead...

Origins And Abhidhamma Researcher
It is about a new type of mathematical discovery about the origin/existence of the universe. I have used modern scientific discoveries (E.g., quantum mechanics) and explanations about fundamental elements (quantum physics) in Buddhism to verify it. I researched from zero (0) to f...

This version supersedes the previous version. The Introduction has been reorganised around two research questions, the hypothesis now precedes the objectives, and the documented 2008 operational threshold is distinguished from an instantaneous hydrological break. The Methods now...

Quantum Interference and the Limits of Separability
Abstract Quantum theory implies, and empirical evidence confirms, that while particles can exhibit wave-like behavior in interferometric experiments, this behavior is so limited as not to allow for third- and higher-order interference. The article at hand shows that this possibil...

Nutrient stress activates RAB5B-mediated autophagy to remodel the synaptic proteome
Abstract Synaptic proteostasis is crucial for maintaining neuronal function and plasticity, yet how synapses adapt to metabolic stress remains poorly understood. Here, we show that nutrient deprivation, particularly serum withdrawal, induces robust autophagy-dependent remodeling...

Hypothalamic recurrent inhibition regulates functional states of stress effector neurons
ABSTRACT Stress triggers rapid and reversible shifts in vital physiological functions from homeostatic operation to emergency response. However, the neural mechanisms regulating such functional stress states remain poorly understood. Here we identify a novel recurrent inhibitory...

Individual listeners differ in how they map acoustic cues onto phonological categories, yet it remains unclear which aspects of categorization generalize across contrasts and how these relate to cue use. This study examines whether differences in speech categorization indices—cat...

Aligning Clinical Needs and AI Capabilities: A Survey on LLMs for Medical Reasoning
Abstract Large language models (LLMs) have emerged as important tools in healthcare, showing growing potential for clinical reasoning and patient care. This survey examines recent progress in medical LLMs, focusing on reasoning applications and requirements. We present a dual-vie...

Four years on: following the pathway to real world impact of engineering research
Here we present five short case studies in which key authors of papers originally published in Communications Engineering in 2022 describe the impact of their work four years on. These reflections provide a glimpse of what the papers meant for the key researchers involved, their...

Abstract Semi-natural grasslands and wooded pastures are biodiversity-rich, declining habitats whose conservation depends largely on voluntary management by farmers. Their management is supported through agri-environment schemes. Effective scheme design benefits from trans- and i...
