From Environmental Structure to Biodiversity: The Referential Function of Life
Darwinian natural selection explains how advantageous traits become established through differential survival and reproduction, but it provides a less direct explanation for how organisms progressively acquire novel adaptive capacities and generate increasing biological diversity...

Musculoskeletal disorders affect billions of individuals globally and are a leading cause of disability and healthcare expenditure. Regenerative medicine has emerged as a potential therapy, aiming to enhance tissue repair, improve functional outcomes, and delay the need for surgi...

KAINE: A Continuously Running Predictive Global Workspace for Synthetic Minds
A synthetic mind, if one can be built, may be the coherent global behavior that emerges when specialized predictive modules, each minimizing its own error, compete for a shared workspace with no central executive. This paper presents a continuously running predictive global works...

The drama of going to the toilet’: the gendered politics of sanitation in mobile work
Women worldwide are familiar with the frustration of queuing for the women’s restroom. For women drivers whose work depends on remaining continuously mobile, however, this everyday frustration takes on different meanings. In occupations organised around continuous movement, avail...

OBJECTIVE: The objective was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Acetaminophen versus Ibuprofen in the treatment of hemodynamically significant patent ductus arteriosus. METHOD: A randomized, partially blinded controlled study was conducted in very low birth weight infants. Di...

Submission-aligned code, outputs, figures, supplements, and manuscript for a reproducible evidence-audit framework in high-dimensional translational omics classification. A naive global-selection workflow is contrasted descriptively with a guarded nested workflow; because the arm...

What You're Holding: The Case for Nervous System-Informed Object Design
This working paper proposes a novel framework for designing everyday physical objects to support autonomic nervous system regulation. Drawing on affective neuroscience, somatic psychology, embodied cognition, and Stephen Porges' Polyvagal Theory, the author argues that all object...

A major challenge in evolutionary biology is identifying the selective agents and phenotypes underlying local adaptation. Local adaptation along environmental gradients may be driven by trade-offs in allocation to reproduction, growth, and herbivore resistance. To identify enviro...

P-4: The Particle Periodic Table — Geometric Classification of Standard Model Fermions(v1.2)
Abstract: The Standard Model of particle physics describes the interactions of elementary particles with remarkable precision, yet the spectrum of particles itself—why are there three generations of fermions? Why do quarks have fractional charges? Why do right-handed particles no...

Early-Life Stress as a Determinant of Type 2 Diabetes Risk: A Narrative Review
Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) remains a major public health concern in the United States, with rising prevalence and a large population at risk for disease progression. Although T2DM is traditionally associated with adult lifestyle factors such as obesity, diet, and physical in...

The Prenatal Cogito: Intra-Fetal Communication and the Cybernetics of the Self
This paper revisits René Descartes’ foundational maxim Cogito, ergo sum through an information-theoretic and neurophilosophical lens, shifting the epistemological baseline from post-natal verbal reflection to pre-natal sensorimotor dynamics. We argue that the self-conscious subje...

Pediatric Hemifacial Spasm: A Narrative Review and Call to Action
<b>Background</b>: Hemifacial spasm (HFS) is a chronic hyperkinetic facial nerve disorder characterized by involuntary, unilateral facial muscle contractions. While well-described in adults, where neurovascular compression of the facial nerve root exit zone predominates, pediatri...

Magnetic resonance fingerprinting (MRF) is a quantitative magnetic resonance imaging technique that generates tissue signals that vary based on chemical, physical, and biological properties called “fingerprints.” MRF enables simultaneous estimation of multiple tissue properties,...

Projection of the Quantum Master Equation onto a Spread-Contraction Continuum Model
This work presents a new theoretical and numerical framework for understanding the sharp quantum–classical crossover by introducing two internal structural degrees of freedom—the local spread S(x) and contraction C(x)—derived from the gradient and curvature of a probability distr...

Colonies of insects with morphologically distinct castes have been called superorganisms because the function of their queens and workers is analogous to the germline and soma in metazoan bodies. In the case of formicoid ants, workers typically have lost the sperm storage organ,...

Indefinite Spectral Certificate Calculus (ISCC) is a method for analyzing symmetric or Hermitian systems with both positive and negative directions. It separates negative directions that belong to a known background structure from negative directions that appear only after reduct...

The Commons Translation Series
This paper introduces The Commons Translation Series, a public-facing extension of the QCG “Projection Is Not Generation” sequence (https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.20044372). It develops a civic vocabulary for understanding AI-mediated dashboards, classifiers, metrics, recommender...

Abstract Modern physics suffers fundamental contradictions: General Relativity and Standard Model cannot be unified; the ontology of vacuum is missing; dark matter and dark energy rely on ad-hoc hypotheses; microscopic particle spin, celestial rotation/revolution and galaxy forma...

Emergent Electromagnetism from the Gauged Logarithmic Superfluid Vacuum
This release removes the charge-quantization claim of the previous version: the vortex winding number is a topological index, not the electric charge, and the earlier identification conflated flux quantization with charge quantization. The paper is refocused on the results that s...
