Phase Zero Hypothesis — The Bull in the Sky: Meskhetyu and the Shemsu Hor Path from Nabta Playa to the Giza Plateau

The First Trilogy established a coherent, evidence-grounded account of Saharan pastoralist migration to the Nile Valley during the collapse of the African Humid Period (~5,500 BCE), the transmission of the Zep Tepi cosmological system via the Highland Corridor Refugia, and the in...

Paradox as Structural Feature: A Coupling-Dynamics Account of Self-Referential Systems

This paper argues that paradoxes of self-reference — paradigmatically the liar and Russell's paradox — are the limit case of a coupling-dynamics mechanism that operates throughout the coupling spectrum between assessment channels and the systems they assess. Under this account, p...

Substituted Coupling: A Coupling-Architecture Mechanism in the 2026 Energy and Sanctions Crises

Coupling architectures — the infrastructural, contractual, and institutional arrangements through which a polity receives critical external flows — are not neutral conduits. They are attack surfaces. This paper formalises one case of the general mechanism: when a polity reduces d...

Acute Exposure to Perfluorooctanoic Acid (PFOA) During Cardiomyogenesis disrupts Transcriptional and Electrophysiological Profiles in Differentiated Myocytes

Abstract Exposure to per and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are linked to various cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), but effects of developmental PFAS exposures on the human heart remain unclear. Using human-induced pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes (hiPSC-CM), the obj...

Affected others’ perspectives on the burden, drivers, and prevention of gambling-related harms: a qualitative study

Abstract Background Gambling is increasingly recognised as a public health concern, with harms extending beyond individuals who gamble to families and communities. However, young people and adults affected by others’ gambling remain under-represented in research on harm preventio...

Remote SAMsing: From segment anything to segment everything

The Segment Anything Model 2 (SAM2) produces high-quality zero-shot segmentation of natural images, but two obstacles block its use at scale for remote sensing. First, the automatic mask generator trades coverage against quality: strict acceptance thresholds leave most of a scene...

Negative Spectrum of Non-local Operators with Periodic Potential

The paper deals with spectral analysis of non-local operators arising in population dynamics models. We consider negative periodic perturbations of non-local operators of the convolution type. Such operators describe evolutions of the first correlation function in the stochastic...

Middle meningeal artery embolization for chronic subdural hematoma with wedging technique

Abstract Background Chronic subdural hematoma (CSDH) commonly recurs after burr-hole evacuation or conservative management. Middle meningeal artery embolization (MMAE) using ethylene–vinyl alcohol copolymer (Onyx) aims to devascularize the subdural membranes; however, incomplete...

Level Ascension: A Formal Cognitive-Structural Operation and Its Generativity Across Four Domains

This paper formalizes Level Ascension, a cognitive-structural operation whereby a phenomenon, conflict, or paradox that resists resolution at level L is shown to be a necessary projection of a generative structure at level L+1. The operation is defined by three necessary conditio...

Cation-aromatic nitrogen interaction as a design principle for sodium deep eutectic electrolytes

We report a combined experimental and ab initio molecular dynamics investigation into the role of nitrogen hybridization (sp2 vs sp3) and ring aromaticity in the sodium-based deep eutectic electrolyte formation and their potential use in sodium-ion battery electrolytes. Mixtures...

The Effects of Different Approaches to Teaching Chinese Orthography on Character Acquisition and Reading Performance in Learners of Chinese as a Foreign Language: A Systematic Review

There is growing evidence investigating the effects of different instructional methods on character acquisition and reading performance in contexts where students are learning Chinese as a foreign language (CFL). However, efforts to present a comprehensive and transparent synthes...

Mechanistic insights into the divergent pathways of Bayer and Sintered red mud additives in synergistic NO/SO2 conversion during coal co-combustion

As a large amount of solid waste residue generated from alumina industry, the resource utilization of red mud (RM) in fluidized bed is of great significance for achieving pollutant reduction. In this paper, the synergistic conversion mechanisms of NO and SO2 during coal co-combus...

Green technology commercialization: Drivers, barriers, and emerging directions

Green technologies are climate change mitigation technologies and central to decarbonisation, yet their societal benefits depend on whether innovations can be commercialised and diffused at scale amid policy uncertainty, financing frictions, and infrastructure constraints. To syn...

Structural Completeness of the Torus-Knot Framework: The Standard Model and Gravity from T3 Topology

We present the consolidated programme of the Unified Quantum Gravity Architectural Framework (UQGAF), in which fundamental particles are modelled as coprime torus knots T(P, Q) on a three-torus vacuum manifold T³ = S¹ × S¹ × S¹ embedded in S³ ≅ SU(2). From this single geometric p...

The Domain of Non-Existence: Formal Ontology, Structured Discovery, and Impossible-First Reasoning

This paper proposes a structural reinterpretation of non-existence. Rather than representing absolute absence, non-existence is understood as the domain of unrealized possibilities within a broader possibility space. Using a formal framework grounded in set theory and dynamic sys...

Environmental Local Expansion in Scalar–Tensor Cosmology: A Controlled Successor to the Cosmic Gradient Energy Model

This preprint presents a controlled scalar–tensor successor analysis to the withdrawn quantitative implementation CGEM v1.3. Three frozen candidates are reconstructed from their actions and audited through local screening, cosmological background evolution, linear perturbations,...

How to Verify the GTCS. A Procedural Guide for the General Theory of Cognitive Structuring

This document provides a procedural guide for external verification of the Version 2.0 General Theory of Cognitive Structuring (GTCS) corpus. It specifies how to move from a verification question to the document that actually owns the relevant term, dependency, formal signature,...

Verification Package Overview for the General Theory of Cognitive Structuring

This document is the front map of the Version 2.0 verification package accompanying the General Theory of Cognitive Structuring (GTCS). It identifies the current companion documents, explains their division of labor, and provides reading routes for questions concerning terminolog...

Minimal Claims Register for the General Theory of Cognitive Structuring

This document states the minimal public claim surface supported by the current Version 2.0 General Theory of Cognitive Structuring (GTCS) corpus. It is deliberately narrower than the full result inventory: instead of reproducing every stable formal result, it formulates a compact...

Acyclicity Statement and Dependency Criteria for the General Theory of Cognitive Structuring

This document specifies how paper-level dependency is identified within the General Theory of Cognitive Structuring (GTCS) and states the acyclicity properties of the current owner-paper dependency architecture. A registered dependency is based on an actual audited import from on...
