The geopolitics of Artificial Intelligence: Technological Dependence and Digital Sovereignty in Developing States

Artificial intelligence is becoming part of the way countries develop their economies, educate their populations and provide digital services. At the same time, the resources needed to build advanced AI systems are concentrated in a relatively small number of countries and companies. This creates an important question...

Two Curves Agree to Within 0.083 Per Cent and Are Not the Same Curve ── What Divides the Catenary from the Parabola Is Not Shape but Which Length the Load Is Counted Along ── [Paper 327]

A hanging chain and a suspension-bridge cable cannot be told apart by eye. This paper asks what divides them──the answer is not the shape, but which length the load is counted along. No new mathematical theorem and no new law is claimed. Scope of this paper (scope note): No new mathematical theorem and no new law is cl...

Capacity vs. architecture: an evaluation of SLMs for automated docstring generation

A reproducible, human-validated evaluation framework applied to 13 strategies—four architectural families crossed with four reasoning variants crossed with four reasoning variants—across three SLMs spanning 3B–14B parameters, plus targeted ablations.

Contract-Grounded Cognitive Composition: Deterministic Topology, Interface Contracts, and Local Validation in LLM Multi-Agent Systems

This release presents Contract-Grounded Cognitive Composition (CGCC), an engineering framework for improving the reliability of LLM multi-agent systems through deterministic workflow topology, shared interface contracts, and local validation. The study reports three exploratory experiments conducted with a local qwen3....

Toward Automating the Selection of Articles Reporting EQ-5D Data for Systematic Literature Reviews Using Large Language Models: Algorithm Development and Evaluation Study

The models reproduced human screening tendencies despite the small dataset size, demonstrating the technical feasibility of LLM-assisted article selection and providing the first demonstration of LLM-assisted identification of EQ-5D data in biomedical literature.

The Length That Sets How Thick an Atmosphere Is Also Sets Whether It Stays ── Earth's Scale Height Is 7.319 km, 0.1149% of the Radius ── The Number Deciding Escape Is the Reciprocal of That Ratio ── [Paper 321]

An atmosphere has one length in it, H=kT/(mg). This paper asks what that length decides──the answer is both the thickness and whether the atmosphere stays. No new mathematical theorem and no new law is claimed. Scope of this paper (scope note): No new mathematical theorem and no new law is claimed──scale height, the is...

Stretching a Concept to Breaking Point: An Empirical Audit of a Taxonomy of Conceptual Tensions

A glass-box creativity engine, the Concept Collider, rests on a single primitive: a concept is not merely a point but a structure held under tension, and pressing it along one of seven fracture types breaks it in a characteristic way. That taxonomy is load-bearing—every profile, every homology score, every negative-spa...

That the Same Ellipse Was Three Months Out Was the Evidence of a Different Cause ── Aberration Is 20.49552 Arcseconds Whatever the Distance, While Parallax Goes as Its Reciprocal ── A Factor of 26.6442 at Proxima and 20495 at a Kiloparsec ── [Paper 328]

Over a year a star traces a small ellipse on the sky. This paper asks whether that ellipse is one thing──the answer is that there are two, and they are told apart by phase. No new mathematical theorem and no new law is claimed. Scope of this paper (scope note): No new mathematical theorem and no new law is claimed──abe...
