The Physico-Mathematical Framework of the Ekvilibro Methodology

This article presents the physico-mathematical framework of the Ekvilibro methodology — a universal language for describing the dynamics of attention, dualities, and inner equilibrium. The five laws of the mechanics of consciousness, analogous to classical physics, together with...

From Monitoring to Authorization: The Structural Shift in Agentic AI Governance

As AI systems transition from content generation to autonomous execution (writing to databases, initiating transactions, modifying infrastructure), the governance problem shifts from observing behavior to authorizing action. Monitoring-based architectures document what occurred;...

Planck-length metrology without Newton's constant: a zero-fit weak-sector reconstruction and adversarial provenance audit

A weak-sector ruler for the Planck scale, audited from muon decay to SI metres Version: 8.1 Concept DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.21190193 Author: Ali Attar Website: quantumtraction.org \[ \boxed{ \ell_A^{(\gamma H)} =2^{3/4}\hbar c\,q_H\,\mathcal R_H^{\rm EW}\sqrt{G_F}. } \] This restrict...

Law enforcement with rent dissipation

Abstract We consider a framework which brings together losses arising from rent-dissipation and the workhorse model of law enforcement. Governmental actors engage in a contest to share the proceeds from the enforcement of the law through monetary fines, which leads to rent-dissip...

Fast and noise-aware machine learning variational quantum eigensolver optimiser

Abstract The Variational Quantum Eigensolver (VQE) is a hybrid quantum-classical algorithm for preparing ground states in the current era of noisy devices. The classical component of the algorithm requires a large number of measurements on intermediate parameter values that are t...

Student well-being: an integral definition and conceptual framework

Well-being is a widely used concept to characterize differences in how well students are feeling and doing. Yet, numerous conceptualizations of well-being exist, which hampers conceptual and empirical research on student well-being, and the development of measurement instruments...

State-level pro- and anti-transgender and gender-diverse (TGD) legislation and mental health among TGD young adults in the United States.

The United States has seen sharp increases in efforts to enact anti-TGD legislation at the state level, including limits on access to gender-affirming care, restrictions on access to public facilities, and constraints on public gender expression and presentation. Although existin...

Does Workforce Gender Diversity Influence Banks’ High-Level Decisions? Evidence on Credit Growth and Risk-Taking

We investigate the impact of workforce gender diversity on the relationship between women’s representation in the board of directors and other decision-making bodies, and bank performance in credit growth. Using panel data on Turkish banks from 2006-2020, we find that while femal...

Propagation of Chaos for Doubly Mean Reflected BSDEs

Abstract In this paper, we establish propagation of chaos (POC) for doubly mean reflected backward stochastic differential equations (MRBSDEs). MRBSDEs differ from typical RBSDEs in that the constraint is not on the paths of the solution but on its law. We focus on approximating...

The effect of violent conflict on the socioeconomic condition of households in Nigeria: the case of Kaduna State

The incidence and intensity of violent conflict in Nigeria have been rising steadily since 2016. However, the states across the country are not equally affected. Moreover, the nature of the conflicts and the conditions under which they occur vary across Nigeria’s states. Relying...

Pricing with Algorithms

This paper studies Markov perfect equilibria in a repeated duopoly model where sellers choose algorithms. An algorithm is a mapping from the competitor's price to own price. Once set, the algorithms respond quickly. Customers arrive randomly and sellers can periodically revise th...

Uncertainty-aware large language models: a scoping review of conformal prediction methods

In recent years, there has been growing interest in applying conformal prediction (CP) to large language models (LLMs) across diverse domains to enhance the trustworthiness of their predictions. However, the literature still lacks a comprehensive survey of this rapidly emerging a...

Direct evaporation of single-crystal metal contacts for 2D semiconductors

Metal contacts remain one of the key bottlenecks in two-dimensional (2D) semiconductor electronics. We developed an atomic-scale step-by-step evaporation method to directly grow single-crystal metals on monolayer semiconductors with clean interfaces. This method accesses a distin...

Knowing-fighting: the generative powers of the Global War on Terror

The study of war and terrorism embraces uncertainty, but how knowledge of terrorist threats gains policy traction in specific contexts remains undertheorized. This article advances a knowing–fighting framework to illuminate war's generative powers – the capacity not only to destr...

Uncertainty quantification in train delay prediction with conformal prediction

Predicting train delays is crucial for railway operations and passenger experience, but point predictions fail to capture uncertainty, limiting their use in risk-aware decisions. Existing uncertainty quantification (UQ) methods often rely on unverifiable assumptions and produce m...

Synthetic data assurance with conformal prediction

In this paper, we apply the methods of conformal prediction to the task of synthetic data assurance using images augmented with synthetic weather effects, and examine their fidelity and diversity with respect to both clear weather and adverse weather real image data. It can be ex...

Nonviral delivery of chemically modified tRNA rescues nonsense mutations in cystic fibrosis

Suppressor transfer RNAs (sup-tRNAs) can rescue disease-causing nonsense mutations by promoting readthrough of premature termination codons (PTCs). Their clinical translation is limited by suboptimal activity and inefficient in vivo delivery. In this work, we combined site-specif...
