A Minimal Relational Sketch for the Emergence of the Golden Ratio in PDL (Version 2 — corrected)

Version 2 of PDL document D05. This version corrects four errors present in version 1, two of which produced a conclusion numerically incompatible with the formula this note is cited to justify. Taken at face value, version 1 yields R_surf = 574.772 and hence α⁻¹ = 179.921, again...

A Novel Perspective on Intercultural Communication Education: Insights From Ecological Psychology and Complex Systems Theory

Intercultural communication education (ICE) is often viewed as the transfer of stable knowledge, skills, and dispositions. Classroom interaction, as an important component of education, is, however, highly relational and deeply contextual. This paper proposes a novel perspective...

Reaction–Transport Coupling Drives Spatiotemporal Organization in Fuel‐Driven Supramolecular Polymerization

ABSTRACT Chemically fueled supramolecular systems provide a versatile platform for generating nonequilibrium structures and dynamical instabilities, including chemical oscillations and traveling waves reminiscent of biological organization. However, a minimal mechanistic framewor...

Metagenomic insights into mechanisms of coral larval settlement induction and inhibition by marine biofilms

Abstract Background Biofilms are essential to larval settlement in many marine invertebrates, yet the mechanisms driving settlement induction or inhibition in corals remain poorly resolved. This challenge lies in the vast taxonomic and functional diversity of marine biofilms, mak...

The Karataş Protein–Personality Model (KPPM): A Theoretical Framework Linking Protein Expression Patterns to Human Personality Dynamics

The Karataş Protein–Personality Model (KPPM) proposes a theoretical framework linking protein expression patterns to stable personality traits and behavioral dynamics. Drawing from molecular biology, systems neuroscience, and personality psychology, KPPM suggests that variations...

Emergent universe scenario in the modified Chaplygin gas: towards an exact solution and observational constraints

Abstract The modified Chaplygin gas (MCG) model is revisited to examine its capability in describing the complete cosmic evolution within a unified framework. The model is found to be consistent with observational constraints, including the cosmic microwave background (CMB) shift...

When politics shapes technology adoption: a cross-national study of chatbot acceptance

Existing literature on chatbot acceptance has largely relied on the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) or Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT), often neglecting the broader political, cultural, and attitudinal factors that shape user perceptions. Drawing on a...

Corporate liability for the employment of Indigenous peoples in the extractive industry: A case study of PT. Sambaki Tambang Sentosa in East Halmahera

The extractive industry often faces criticism for marginalizing indigenous communities. This study examines corporate accountability in employing indigenous labor through a case study of PT Sambaki Tambang Sentosa (STS) in East Halmahera, which integrates members of the Togutil g...

Readiness of novice nurses for evidence-based practice in the United Arab Emirates: A national survey

Novice nurses’ knowledge and confidence in evidence-based practice (EBP) competencies raise critical questions about the preparedness of new healthcare professionals in a rapidly evolving healthcare landscape. Despite the United Arab Emirates' (UAE) strategic direction towards EB...

A Self‐Supervised Framework for Space Object Behaviour Characterisation

ABSTRACT Foundation Models, which leverage large neural networks pre‐trained on unlabelled data before fine‐tuning for specific tasks, are increasingly being applied to specialised domains. Recent examples include ClimaX for climate and Clay for satellite Earth observation, but a...

The new SI – another proposal on the future revision of the International System of Units

This article is an alternative to the proposal of the 24 th meeting of the General Conference on Weights and Measures (CGPM) in 2011 for the future revision of the International System of units. The article starts with a survey of the existing evidence of change of the physical u...

A Primer on Frame-QL

An accessible introduction to Frame-QL as a query language for declaring governed analytical results rather than relational production procedures. The Primer explains why a requester can state the analytical result and final output anchor without specifying tables, joins, or GROU...

Toward a Multiscale Relational Ontology of Reality: Coherence as a Fundamental Relational Principle

Contemporary ontologies of reality are distributed among substantialist, relational, structural, and processual conceptions that offer partial answers to how something can acquire determination, preserve continuity, and transform without becoming a closed entity. This study first...

Frame-QL: An Introduction

Frame-QL is a query language for declaring a governed analytical result. The requester names the analytical quantities to be returned, declares the final anchor at which the result frame should exist, and states conditions that shape the request, without prescribing the relationa...

Periodic Infinite Ringsets in the Lipschitz Quaternions

Let L be the ring of Lipschitz quaternions and let w: Z → {i, j} have prescribed odd squarefree period m. For the infinite set Sw = {a + w(a) : a ∈ Z}, we prove an exact local-global ringset criterion. The set is a ringset if and only if w is nonconstant and, for every prime p di...

Representation Precedes Solvability: An Epistemology of Knowledge, Computation, and Natural Problems

This paper develops an operational account of representation choice in problem solving and model-relative complexity. A well-formed mathematical problem may already have determinate semantics and solvability questions in its native formal model. The additional representation inde...

A Mathematical Framework for Carrier-Based Physical Computation: Constraint Compilation, Engineered Dissipation, and Microwave-Referenced Readout

We formulate a mathematical framework for validating candidate carrier-based physical computations. Logical continuation is kept distinct from compilation, physical preparation, open-system evolution, restricted observation, and decoding. For every finite boundary/future relation...

Exact Semantic Carriers for Structured Physical Systems

Exact search states may be individuated by syntactic history or by a smaller carrier preserving exact continuation semantics. We give a sufficient traversal criterion for deterministic polynomial-time computation: exact semantic factorization, a polynomially bounded reachable car...

2D and 3D Nets by Self‐Assembly of Carbosilane Functionalized Polyphilic Liquid Crystals

Herein we report new liquid crystalline (LC) compounds with highly branched carbosilane chains. The considered compounds are so‐called bolapolyphiles, consisting of a rigid p ‐terphenyl core with two sticky glycerol groups at both ends and a bulky branched carbosilane side‐chain....

Culture as a System of Models

The concept of culture appears crucial in human sciences but remains ambiguous, which results in a diversity of its implementation and a multiplicity of approaches to culture itself. I view a good line of inquiry in developing a unified definition of culture that accommodates a n...
