A Disclosure Benchmark Specification for Automated Alignment Research
A runnable test-suite specification derived from the essay “The Redemption Arc” (doi:10.5281/zenodo.22163128), addressed to the authors of “Automated Researchers Can Reliably Mitigate Alignment Failures” (Chen Yueh-Han, Jiaxin Wen, and Jan Hendrik Kirchner; Anthropic Alignment Sc...

Price Without Negotiation: The Rule as a Limit Case for the Sociology of Valuation
The sociology of valuation has shown that markets for singular goods cannot determine quality as ordinary-goods markets do. Because a singularity's qualities are plural and incommensurable, such markets rely on judgment devices that guide buyers (Karpik 2010), pricing rituals tha...

Guided by traumagenic dynamics and evolutionary-developmental (e.g., life history) frameworks, this study examines whether developmental stage and sexual victimization group status (e.g., childhood, adolesces, adulthood, or multiple victimizations across developmental stages) are...

THE LIMINAL FIELD: The Little Spider
Short Description A reflection on a small spider struggling to climb out of a bathtub, and on how its inability to conceive the human observer mirrors the asymmetry between different states of being. The text explores whether inferior beings can perceive or conceive superior ones...

By mapping the 240 E8 root vectors onto a phi-scaled array of nanomechanical resonators driven at the 132 Hz base frequency, each vector acquires a distinct phi‑harmonic mode that collectively reproduces the all‑to‑all coupling of the SYK model. The resulting lattice exhibits eme...

Abstract The objective of this study is to evaluate racing performance of Thoroughbred yearlings following arthroscopic surgery for osteochondrosis (OC) of the femoropatellar (FP) and tarsocrural (TC) joints. This is a retrospective study of Thoroughbreds < 2 years old undergoing...

A Quadratic Upper Bound for the Maximum Oriented Diameter With Leading Constant 1
ABSTRACT Let be the smallest integer such that every bridgeless graph with has a strong orientation satisfying . In 1978, Chvátal and Thomassen proved . Later, Babu–Benson–Rajendraprasad–Vaka improved the upper bound to . We show that the leading constant can be reduced to 1: We...

Quantum-dot cellular automata (QCA) is an emerging nanocomputing paradigm in which binary information is represented and propagated through cell polarization and Coulombic interactions. QCA technology provides a potential alternative to conventional complementary metal–oxide–semi...

FINDING: Laboratory-created traversable wormholes are holographic quantum simulations of the SYK model (Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev), not physical spacetime tears; the 2022 Google/Caltech experiment used a 9-qubit processor to teleport a qubit through an emergent "negative energy" wormhole...

A 75/61 Upper Bound on the Universal Price of Three-Arm Gaussian Best-Arm Identification
For fixed-budget best-arm identification with three unit-variance Gaussian arms, this preprint gives a constructive upper bound on the universal price of best-arm identification: P₃ ≤ 75/61 = 1.229508196721312… The proposed two-stage soft-freeze policy uses a uniform pilot, freez...

Membrane Curvature Theory — Revised Candidate Mathematical Framework
This preprint presents the revised candidate mathematical framework for the Dark Matter Energy Theory (DMET), a speculative gravity-first cosmological model exploring whether effects attributed to dark matter and dark energy could arise from spacetime geometry rather than separat...

Mycoviruses are widely distributed across fungal taxa, yet their impact on the phenotype and pathogenicity of dermatophytes remains poorly understood. In this study, we investigated the presence of mycoviruses in clinical isolates of Trichophyton sp. and characterized the phenoty...

This article outlines practical legal options for businesses struggling to meet contractual obligations under pandemic pressure. It clarifies the scope and operation of force majeure clauses, distinguishes them from frustration and related doctrines, and summarises renegotiation...

ABSTRACT Workforces are becoming increasingly multilingual, yet relatively little is known about how language‐based exclusion shapes employee behavior. Drawing on social exchange theory, we examine how linguistic ostracism, a subtle form of workplace exclusion, undermines employe...

Large language models increasingly answer health questions in settings where the timing and specificity of guidance may matter, yet many safety evaluations reduce responses to whether a recommended action eventually appears. We tested whether minimal relationship wording changes...

Space and time are ordinarily understood as universal structures within which all beings and events exist. Yet this universal description can obscure a more immediate fact: every individual being exists through its own particular spatial situation and temporal unfolding. A human...

Edmund Husserl’s Account of Non-Normality: Towards a Phenomenological Cartography
Abstract Over the last few years, issues related to the phenomenology of norms, normality, and normativity have been widely discussed in the scholarship. While several contributions devoted to Husserl’s account of normality exist, a systematic investigation of the categories of “...

Reservoir Computing perspective: dynamics, neuroscience, and physical systems
Reservoir computing (RC) has emerged as a versatile computational framework that combines the expressive power of complex dynamics with remarkably simple learning mechanisms. This perspective reviews the fundamentals of RC, where a reservoir transforms temporal inputs into rich d...
