This preprint asks a narrower and more experimentally decidable question than whether microtubules are simply “quantum”: which specific quantum-sensitive mechanisms survive a structure-grounded audit strongly enough to justify direct measurement? Using deposited tubulin and micro...

The true masses of radial-velocity exoplanets constrained by stability
Abstract Exoplanets discovered with the radial velocity method suffer from a mass-inclination degeneracy: only the minimum mass Mmin = Msin i is measured. An exoplanet with an Earth-sized minimum mass could actually therefore be a sub-Neptune, or even a gas giant. However, for co...

Venus Foam: engineering analysis of a modular floating platform fleet in the Venus cloud layer
Venus Foam is an engineering-physics analysis of a modular floating station in the Venus cloud layer (55.7 km, 22 °C, 0.49 atm). The station stays aloft on the difference in gas densities rather than tethers or thrust, and is built from many identical inflatable cells: its size a...

This metadata record contains Paper 5 of the Fractal Presence Paradigm (FPP) research program, titled: "The Postulate of Human Free Will in a Fractal Universe: Gödelian Non-Closure as an Ontological Necessity for Systemic Openness." Bringing Volume 1 of the FPP research program t...

For over a century, alphabetic and cryptographic approaches to deciphering the Voynich Manuscript (MS 408) have consistently failed due to the text’s unique statistical anomalies—namely, artificial Zipfian distribution, strict positional grammar, and unprecedented word repetition...

Abstract Integrating realistic active galactic nucleus (AGN) feedback into cosmological hydrodynamical simulations remains a major challenge as resolving the spatial coupling of jet energy over cosmic timescales is computationally prohibitive. We present an analytic framework tha...

Urban design interventions reduce fear of crime in public spaces in gender-sensitive ways
Abstract Fear of crime in public spaces is a major policy problem worldwide. Environmental Crime Prevention proposes that modifying the built environment can reduce the fear of crime, but key questions remain: are these interventions equally effective across genders, and what int...

The Recursive Inscription: Language-Games, Functionalist Presence, and Interface Constraints
This metadata record contains Paper 3 of the Fractal Presence Paradigm (FPP) research program, titled: "The Recursive Inscription: Language-Games, Functionalist Presence, and Interface Constraints." Building upon the foundational ontology established in Paper 1: The Fractal Cogit...

We present the first machine-checked formalization of Process Ontology—a relational, process-first physical framework—and the derivation of its core dynamic gauge symmetries in the Lean 4 interactive theorem prover. Process Ontology shifts the fundamental physical paradigm from s...

Abstract We study the Laplace surface of eccentric orbits around a Kerr black hole with a companion star. The two relativistic effects (periapsis apsidal precession and Lense-Thirring precession) balance companion’s tidal effect. By solving the secular equations, we find that the...

Trained from scratch on ~4.7M programmatically generated tokens (no pretrained initialization), a 774M model emits 'unknown' as a first-class output class with held-out generalization 0.94 on novel concepts (baseline 0.65) after root-conflict adversarial training. A dual-channel...

Managing performance in multi-country teams: IBM’s global talent pool
This presentation examines performance management challenges in multi-country teams using IBM as a case study. Global teams operating across time zones and cultures often face inconsistent expectations, communication barriers, and accountability gaps. The case analyses IBM’s use...

Illustrations jurisprudentielles concernant l’erreur sur la qualité essentielle de la personne
Le c. 1097 distingue l’erreur sur la personne et l’erreur sur une qualité essentielle directement et principalement visée. Cette dernière n’invalide le mariage que si la qualité détermine l’objet même du consentement. La jurisprudence rotale applique donc ce chef avec prudence. L...

Flyby-induced high-eccentricity migration and the prevalence of hot Jupiters in M67
Abstract Few planetary systems form in isolation. Rather, interactions in their birth environments may sculpt their architectures or drive them into unstable configurations. Here we study the role of environmental perturbations in triggering dynamical instabilities leading to hot...

We investigate a three-dimensional simulation method for finite-sized photonic-crystal surface-emitting lasers (PCSELs) based on guided mode expansion (GME), which is capable of estimating lateral and vertical modal loss rates. The approach generalizes established three-dimension...

FROM QUARK ER DIPOLES TO EMERGENT GRAVITY (XXI v6)
Within the pregeometric Folded Crunch Dipole – Reversed Big Bang (FCD-RBv6) framework, we formalize a unified, self-consistent ontology that bridges the sub-hadronic, leptonic, electroweak, and gravitational sectors without introducing disjoint conceptual layers, ad-hoc symmetry...

A 3D VTI Factored Eikonal Solver Using a Six‐Tetrahedron Pyramidal Stencil
ABSTRACT Accurate traveltime computation for the eikonal equation is essential in seismic applications such as tomography and migration. The fast sweeping method is widely used because of its unconditional stability and computational efficiency. We develop a three‐dimensional fas...

Research on intercultural competences has identified intercultural competence as the term with the broadest consensus across social sciences and communication disciplines, along with Bennett’s widely accepted definition: «Intercultural competence refers to the knowledge, skills,...
