This paper argues that the gap in machine intelligence's push into the physical world is structural, and locates where it can be legitimately closed, and gives the Promulgation Criterion, which fixes the runtime division of labor with LLMs.
High-throughput experimentation and self-driving laboratories are drastically accelerating materials discovery, yet automated interpretation of X-ray powder diffraction (XRPD) data remains a critical rate-limiting step. Conventional search-match workflows rely heavily on expert manual intervention, while pure data-driv...

Machine intelligence has conquered the symbolic world but stalled at the physical one. The stall is structural: physical AI faces a cold-start deadlock -- no intelligence without data, no data without deployed intelligence. Our thesis: the deadlock is real but unevenly distributed, and the exception has a name: the art...
