Small language models (<= 3B parameters) are severely constrained by parameter capacity, autoregressive order bias, and catastrophic forgetting during continuous adaptation. While existing System-2 approaches rely on expensive external scaffolding (e.g., tree-search verifiers and...

The Individuation Theorem: Life as the Boundary of the Subject
This record derives a criterion for individuated subjecthood and proves it necessary and sufficient under the ontology FR12 Section 7 argues for. A system is an individuated subject if and only if it has a determinate boundary and satisfies three conditions: coupling (its own act...

Acute Appendicitis: A Contemporary Review for Surgeons
Management of acute appendicitis has undergone a fundamental transformation the past two decades, with discussions focusing on operative versus nonoperative management. This review seeks to synthesize the most current evidence from the past decade across several key domains curre...

Bounded by culture: rationality, leadership, and the “metric vacuum” in the Brazilian justice system
While Behavioral Public Administration has extensively documented cognitive biases in Western contexts, the interplay between individual rationality and institutional culture in the Global South remains underexplored. This study investigates decision-making mechanisms among 21 se...

Abstract K‐processes re‐illuminate lightning channels at speeds of order 10 7 m s −1 , but measuring their three‐dimensional (3‐D) propagation velocity has required multi‐station systems available at few sites. An error‐isomorphism range inversion upgrades a single very‐high‐freq...

Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography in Pediatric Pancreas Divisum: Systematic Review
Background: Pancreas divisum (PD) may be associated with recurrent acute pancreatitis (RAP) or chronic pancreatitis (CP), but data on ERCP outcomes in children with PD are limited. We conducted a systematic review of the clinical, technical, and safety outcomes of ERCP for PD in...
