It is known that the exact neurons maintaining a given memory (the neural ensemble) change from trial to trial. This raises the question of how the brain achieves stability in the face of this representational drift. Here, we demonstrate that this stability emerges at the level of the electric fields that arise from neural activity. We show that electric fields carry information about working memory content. The electric fields, in turn, can act as "guard rails" that funnel higher dimensional variable neural activity along stable lower dimensional routes. We obtained the latent space associated with each memory. We then confirmed the stability of the electric field by mapping the latent space to different cortical patches (that comprise a neural ensemble) and reconstructing information flow between patches. Stable electric fields can allow latent states to be transferred between brain areas, in accord with modern engram theory.

It is known that the exact particles maintaining a given quantum state (the particle ensemble) change from observation to observation. This raises the question of how a system achieves stability in the face of this representational drift. Here, we demonstrate that this stability emerges at the level of the electromagnetic fields that arise from particle interactions. We show that electromagnetic fields carry information about quantum state content. The electromagnetic fields, in turn, can act as "guiding paths" that channel higher dimensional variable particle interactions along stable lower dimensional trajectories. We obtained the phase space associated with each quantum state. We then confirmed the stability of the electromagnetic field by mapping the phase space to different spatial regions (that comprise a particle ensemble) and reconstructing information flow between regions. Stable electromagnetic fields can allow phase states to be transferred between spatial regions, in accord with modern quantum coherence theory.

Title: Introducing the Narrative Justice Perspective in the Evaluation of Storytelling Implementation; Chania, Crete Case Study Abstract: This study explores the integration of narrative justice within the framework of storytelling practices, focusing on the cultural and historical context of Chania, Crete. By examining the equitable distribution of narrative power and representation, this research aims to highlight the importance of inclusive storytelling in fostering cultural resilience and identity preservation. The case study of Chania serves as a lens through which the dynamics of narrative justice can be understood and applied to broader literary and cultural contexts. 1. Introduction: The concept of narrative justice has gained prominence in recent years as scholars and practitioners recognize the need for equitable representation in storytelling. This paper seeks to evaluate the implementation of storytelling practices through the lens of narrative justice, with a particular focus on the cultural landscape of Chania, Crete. By examining the distribution of narrative power and the inclusion of diverse voices, this study aims to contribute to the ongoing discourse on cultural equity and resilience. 2. Literature Review: The theoretical framework of narrative justice draws from postcolonial studies, feminist theory, and cultural studies, emphasizing the importance of diverse representation in storytelling. Previous research has highlighted the role of storytelling in shaping cultural identity and resilience, yet there remains a gap in understanding how narrative justice can be systematically integrated into storytelling practices. This study seeks to address this gap by exploring the case of Chania, Crete. 3. Methodology: This research employs a qualitative approach, utilizing narrative analysis and ethnographic methods to examine the storytelling practices in Chania. By engaging with local storytellers, cultural practitioners, and community members, the study aims to uncover the dynamics of narrative power and representation within the cultural context of Crete. The findings will be analyzed through the lens of narrative justice to identify key themes and patterns. 4. Case Study: Chania, Crete: Chania, with its rich cultural heritage and diverse historical influences, provides a unique context for examining the implementation of narrative justice in storytelling. The city's complex history, marked by periods of occupation and cultural exchange, has resulted in a tapestry of narratives that reflect the diverse identities and experiences of its inhabitants. This case study explores how storytelling practices in Chania can serve as a model for promoting narrative justice and cultural resilience. 5. Findings: The analysis of storytelling practices in Chania reveals a complex interplay of narrative power and representation. While some narratives dominate the cultural landscape, there are efforts to amplify marginalized voices and promote inclusive storytelling. The findings highlight the importance of community engagement and collaboration in fostering narrative justice and cultural resilience. 6. Discussion: The case study of Chania underscores the potential of narrative justice as a framework for evaluating and enhancing storytelling practices. By prioritizing equitable representation and the inclusion of diverse voices, storytelling can serve as a powerful tool for cultural preservation and resilience. This study contributes to the broader discourse on narrative justice by providing insights into its practical application within a specific cultural context. 7. Conclusion: The integration of narrative justice into storytelling practices is essential for promoting cultural equity and resilience. The case study of Chania, Crete, demonstrates the potential of narrative justice to transform storytelling into a more inclusive and representative practice. By embracing diverse narratives and fostering community collaboration, storytelling can contribute to the preservation and celebration of cultural identity. 8. Implications for Future Research: This study highlights the need for further research on the implementation of narrative justice in storytelling practices across different cultural contexts. Future research should explore the potential of narrative justice to address issues of representation and power in storytelling, with a focus on developing strategies for promoting inclusive and equitable narratives.

In this paper, I follow the concept of cultural diversity within UNESCO and explore how and why it has filtered into heritage discourse, initiatives, and cultural conventions. The paper makes two main contributions. Firstly, I start out by presenting data on the historical use of the concept of cultural diversity within UNESCO since 1945, based on the organization’s comprehensive online database and archive. Using the organization’s digital archive in this way offers a novel approach to tracing the development of a key term in UNESCO’s discourse and tracking its evolving significance over time. Secondly, I focus on four important contexts in which the concept of cultural diversity has been influential in UNESCO: development, cultural heritage, diversity of cultural expressions, and biodiversity. I show how cultural diversity has served as a key conceptual resource for advocates of anthropologically informed approaches to heritage that were formalized in the 2003 UNESCO Convention for the Safeguarding of Intangible Heritage. I also follow how the concept of cultural diversity has been mobilized by UNESCO members in the process resulting in the UNESCO Convention on the Protection and Promotion of the Diversity of Cultural Expressions in 2005. The scholarly literatures on both conventions are substantial. However, I connect these literatures in new ways by focusing on how the concept of cultural diversity functioned in both cases, and I break new ground by analyzing its use over a longer time frame—one that also links notions of cultural diversity and biodiversity. In the context of the special collection, the contribution of the article is to explore how the term “cultural diversity” has been used in what is arguably the most influential international organization in the field of cultural diplomacy during the last seventy-five years.

In this paper, I follow the concept of cellular diversity within developmental biology and explore how and why it has filtered into morphogenetic discourse, initiatives, and developmental conventions. The paper makes two main contributions. Firstly, I start out by presenting data on the historical use of the concept of cellular diversity within developmental biology since the mid-20th century, based on comprehensive databases and archives of scientific literature. Using these digital archives in this way offers a novel approach to tracing the development of a key term in developmental biology discourse and tracking its evolving significance over time. Secondly, I focus on four important contexts in which the concept of cellular diversity has been influential: tissue development, organogenesis, diversity of cell types, and evolutionary developmental biology. I show how cellular diversity has served as a key conceptual resource for advocates of genetically and epigenetically informed approaches to morphogenesis that were formalized in the 2003 discovery of the role of stem cells in tissue regeneration. I also follow how the concept of cellular diversity has been mobilized by researchers in the process resulting in the 2005 identification of the importance of cellular heterogeneity in developmental robustness. The scholarly literatures on both discoveries are substantial. However, I connect these literatures in new ways by focusing on how the concept of cellular diversity functioned in both cases, and I break new ground by analyzing its use over a longer time frame—one that also links notions of cellular diversity and evolutionary adaptability.

X: On a very cold April morning in 2021, the Nahrung-Genuss-Gaststätten (NGG) union - the main trade union in the German meat industry sector - was organizing one of the many strikes that year. At 4:30 AM, the strike-organizing team set up the tent in front of a slaughterhouse in a town in southern Bavaria and started preparing the information materials. Workers showed up in minibuses and cars at 1 Leibniz Institute for Agricultural Economics in Transition Economies (IAMO), Halle/ Saale, GERMANY.

SOCIOLOGIE ROMÂNEASCĂ - VOLUMUL 21(1)/2023 94 the slaughterhouse gate at 5:00 AM and then headed towards the main building to start their shift. The organizing team gave out safety vests imprinted with the message “Wir streiken!” (“We are on strike!”) on the back and fl yers with the main claims agreed with the trade union: more money, more holidays, and a collective agreement for the meat industry.1 These strikes were long overdue. The German meat industry is one of the largest in the European Union (EU) and it is concentrated in a handful of large companies2 and, as previous research has shown, these large producers gained their market share through very cheap production costs resulting primarily from subcontracting East- and Central-European workers (Birke, 2022; Cosma et al., 2020; Kossen, 2018; Mense-Petermann, 2018; Wagner, 2015; Wagner, & Hassel, 2016). Out of circa 160.000 workers in the branch, two thirds come from Eastern and Central Europe (NGG, 2021).3 Besides low pay, workers in the German meat industry have experienced uncertainty because of their short-term employment contracts, delayed remuneration, unpaid overtime, or cost deductions for accommodation, transport, and equipment (Voivozeanu, 2019). Moreover, migrant mobile labour was excluded until recently from industrial labour relations because of the so-called “insider model”, which protected only permanent employees at the expense of posted workers who were seldom recruited by unions (Wagner, & Hassel, 2016). The strikes in 2021 were boosted by the direct employment in slaughterhouses of former subcontracted migrant workers. The direct employment was made possible by the passing of Arbeitsschutzkontrollgesetz (ASKG) (“Occupational Safety and Health Inspection Act”) at the end of 2020, after public outrage about the working and living conditions revealed by the extensive media coverage of the Covid-19 outbreaks in slaughterhouses (Ban et al., 2022; Cosma et al., 2020; Seeliger, & Sebastian, 2022). ASKG put an end to service contract work (Werkverträge) in slaughterhouses with a minimum of 50 employees starting on January 1st and to temporary agency work (Leiharbeit) starting on the 1st of April 2021.4 Trade unions started approaching workers at the slaughterhouses in order to negotiate collective agreements on their behalf and help them demand higher wages and more holidays. Still, altogether, in 2021 only around 10% of the workers in the meat industry were estimated to be unionized (Erol, & Schulten, 2021). What lessons can we draw from these series of strikes that accompanied the negotiations for better wages and a collective agreement? Why are workers reluctant to join a strike, and how are they encouraged to join one? What are the strategies of trade unions to represent this labour force and how can strikes contribute to increasing unionization numbers? In the Global North, trust in trade unions has decreased especially since the 1970s into what Kesküla and Sanchez (2019, 111) call “union disaff ection”. This was predominantly the case in Germany too, where workers’ unionization has decreased constantly in recent decades and where especially fi rst-generation Y - The ‘cult of sensibility’, a dominant philosophical and social trend in late-Georgian Britian, extended beyond emotional refinement to profoundly shape London’s urban landscape. This ideology, which championed sensory acuity and refinement as markers of social and moral status, provided a powerful justification for environmental inequality. It fostered the belief that only the delicate and cultivated bodies of the wealthy were truly susceptible to urban nuisances like pollution. Consequently, a convenient and deeply embedded prejudice emerged: poorer citizens, deemed to be ‘unrefined’ and thus less sensitive, were implicitly considered to be immune to the discomforts of industrial blight, legitimising their confinement to increasingly polluted environments. Discourses of the sensible body underpinned the socio-economic sequestering of London’s labouring poor, for it created sensibility as a capacity for distinction that the poor lacked. The bodies of the poor were treated as incapable of perceiving nuisances as profoundly or as consequentially as their wealthier London neighbours. Such reasoning, which justified the location of the poor in polluted and polluting environments, may have become self-evidencing, since prolonged exposure to such environments may indeed have damaged the labourer’s ability to enjoy the world’s sounds and smells. This ideological distinction between feeling and unfeeling sorts was deliberately and actively reinforced through legal and statutory developments, creating a deliberate system of sensory sorting that segregated London’s population along environmental lines. The system of environmental inequality manifested starkly in the spatial distribution of industry and its associated nuisances. While affluent areas, particularly in the fashionable west of London, like Twickenham and Westminster, were increasingly protected from offensive and hazardous trades through restrictive covenants and vigilant local governance, then burgeoning industrial activities, such as coal gasification, chemical manufacture, tanning and other trades reutilising animal wastes, were concentrated in already marginalised, extra-mural parishes. These included areas like Whitechapel and Shoreditch, and notably, Bermondsey, a suburb on the Surrey side of the Thames. Here, the dense proliferation of industries, often serving luxury demands of the sensible elite, created pervasive and acutely unhealthy conditions, making these districts centres of stench and toxic effluvia. My analysis will focus primarily on Bermondsey as a detailed case study to illustrate the mechanisms through which environmental inequality was entrench. By examining the specific industries, the lived experiences of its inhabitants, and the limited legal and governmental recourse available to them, this article will demonstrate how the cultural concept of sensibility translated into tangible urban policy and practice. The comparison with more salubrious districts will highlight the deliberate nature of this environmental stratification, arguing that London’s urban development during the period c.1770-1820 was not merely an organic outcome of industrialisation, but a conscious project of protecting the senses and well-being of the privileged at the direct expense of the poor. The following paper intervenes in several increasingly popular areas of historiography, including the history of sensibility, sensory history, environmental history, and urban history. My analysis connects the cultural construction of the body with the material and lived reality of the urban environment to build new links between the discourse of sensibility and urban practice. I outline the contemporary intellectual sensory framework that underpinned the architecture of the sensible body, considering olfaction as a tool of social judgement. Contemporary medical concepts, packaged to please wealthier citizens, became woven into mechanisms that deepened the spatial inequality of class segregation in London, diminishing opportunities to curb industrial pollution. Focusing on specific trades concentrated in polluted areas in the parish of St Mary’s in Bermondsey, the article identifies those industries devoted to the creation of luxury goods for refined consumers, or to the development of products of science as prime sources of urban pollution in these poor districts.

The strikes in the German meat industry in 2021, much like the 'cult of sensibility' in late-Georgian Britain, reveal the profound impact of socio-economic ideologies on labor and environmental conditions. The strikes, driven by the need for better wages and working conditions, highlight the systemic inequalities faced by migrant workers, akin to the environmental injustices experienced by the laboring poor in 18th-century London. The German meat industry, dominated by a few large companies, mirrors the spatial distribution of industry in London, where marginalized areas bore the brunt of industrial nuisances. The exclusion of migrant workers from labor relations due to the "insider model" parallels the ideological distinction between the 'sensible' wealthy and the 'unfeeling' poor, which justified their confinement to polluted environments. The passing of the Arbeitsschutzkontrollgesetz (ASKG) in Germany, which ended service contract work in slaughterhouses, can be seen as a modern legislative attempt to address these inequalities, much like the restrictive covenants that protected affluent areas in London. This paper examines the mechanisms through which labor and environmental inequalities are entrenched, drawing parallels between the cultural construction of labor relations and the material realities of urban environments. By focusing on the lived experiences of workers and the industries that exploit them, this analysis connects the discourse of labor rights with urban policy, highlighting the deliberate nature of socio-economic stratification. The comparison with more equitable labor practices underscores the conscious efforts to protect the well-being of privileged workers at the expense of marginalized labor forces. This study intervenes in the historiography of labor rights, environmental justice, and urban development, building new links between labor discourse and urban practice.

Global Health - detected

Lancet One Health Commission began its work in May, 2019,1 and in December of that year the COVID-19 pandemic emerged. The pandemic changed the trajectory and heightened the importance of the Commission, as One Health became prominent in global health and across disciplines and sectors, industry, and politics.2 In providing expert advice on the One Health approach to the Quadripartite—the Food and Agriculture Organization of the UN (FAO), the UN Environment Programme, the World Organisation for Animal Health (WOAH), and WHO—the One Health High-Level Expert Panel (OHHLEP) has successfully negotiated a definition of One Health, identified challenges and best practices for implementation of the One Health approach, and developed a theory of change.3 The Quadripartite and OHHLEP, together with the Lancet Commission’s work www.thelancet.com Vol 406 August 2, 2025Comment and the contributions of other actors, have provided crucial grounding and mainstreaming for One Health. The Commission’s report4 now provides important pointers to future paths for One Health research, including the Commission’s afterlife. As Co-Chairs of this Commission, we highlight seven key areas that will be important future trajectories for One Health. First, strengthening pandemic preparedness and response (PPR). The Commission’s report comes after the historic adoption of the WHO Pandemic Agreement by the World Health Assembly in May, 2025.5 In the Pandemic Agreement, the One Health approach is a key element for pursuing prevention as part of effective PPR as seen in Articles 1(b), 4, and 5.6 This marks a shift in global health governance and is a major advance. However, the Pandemic Agreement does not strongly deliver on its originally intended outcome, including a failure to secure firm commitments for equitable access to medical countermeasures during outbreaks, the absence of robust compliance mechanisms, and unresolved disputes over intellectual property and resource sharing.7–10 In this context, the Commission’s report4 provides a comprehensive perspective on the importance of governance, economics, and knowledge for future operationalisation, implementation, and institutionalisation of One Health in the light of the Pandemic Agreement. Second is One Health surveillance, which requires integration and triangulation of data from different sources (ie, human, animal, and environmental), big data collection and sharing, and machine learning and other elements of artificial intelligence (AI).11,12 The Commission speaks to the need for the private sector to support One Health surveillance systems to address emerging communicable and non-communicable health threats, particularly those related to food production and agriculture. AI-supported One Health surveillance includes exploring possibilities for near-real-time disease and risk monitoring and response, screening of compound libraries, and application of novel technologies for the development of both animal and human health products and interventions to improve PPR and health equity. Health-related AI projects often involve collaboration between academic, private, and public groups. Since many AI resources exist within the private sector,13 delineating AI’s role in One Health surveillance and healthcare delivery will be important in shaping the post-2030 www.thelancet.com Vol 406 August 2, 2025 global health and sustainability agenda. Surveillance should cover not only communicable diseases, but also non-communicable diseases (NCDs). Such risk factor surveillance can help to prevent negative health impacts on humans, animals, plants, and ecosystems in rural and urban areas. One Health and NCD surveillance will be an area for much-needed future research. Third, urbanisation has created new challenges for One Health. In ecosystems in urban parks, green spaces, waterways, and other spaces, mammals (including humans), birds, reptiles, amphibians, insects, and microorganisms interact with each other within their shared environment, alongside other biotic and abiotic elements,14 with implications for One Health. Greater understanding is needed of new interdependencies and interactions in urban environments that create opportunities for the transmission of infectious diseases15–17 or shared exposure to environmental hazards that have implications for NCDs.18,19 Fourth, we argue that brain disorders, including neurological and psychiatric conditions, which account for the highest burden of disease worldwide,20 would benefit greatly from a One Health approach at different levels,21,22 especially when considering the social and environmental determinants they share with many other NCDs. One Health considerations could profoundly change the way brain health is addressed in collaboration with other disciplines and sectors, not only in the context of disease management, but also in terms of prevention consistent with measures for other highburden NCDs.23 Fifth, One Health needs to respond to changing geopolitics and challenges such as conflict and migration. The social and environmental impacts of conflicts include, for example, degradation of ecosystems and environmental hazards, such as from heavy metals due to warfare, and exposure of humans and animals to these hazards with resulting diseases. Understanding these factors requires One Health approaches. Conflict and migration impose enormous stress on humans, animals, plants, and ecosystems and invariably create new interdependencies and interactions for which a One Health approach is important to inform effective and sustainable mitigation efforts.24,25 Sixth, the Commission strongly advocates for more comprehensive research on the relevance of One Health in relation to gender and other intersectional Al Ameen Saddiq/Pexels 427Comment factors, such as ethnicity, race, and social class, and the needs and priorities of under-represented groups such as Indigenous peoples, people with disabilities, and ethnic and other minorities. The dynamic nature of intersectional factors requires their careful consideration in One Health surveillance. The data generated from such surveillance could inform the design, implementation, and monitoring of interventions that are sensitive to these factors and thus optimise the desired positive outcomes. Seventh, indicators and metrics are crucial for monitoring progress and strengthening accountability. The Commission’s report presents equitable, sustainable, and healthy socioecological systems as the desired goal of One Health. Setting clear indicators, milestones, and timelines, together with reliable and widely accepted and applied frameworks and metrics, will be essential to evaluate progress in One Health. The Global One Health Index (GOHI) assesses One Health approaches across human, animal, and environmental sectors26 and is gaining visibility but remains to be widely adopted and implemented. While the Commission’s report reviews several of the key metrics relevant to the core One Health domains of people, animals, and the environment, these frameworks and metrics for evaluation are among areas the Commission is targeting for further research. Further development is needed of frameworks and metrics for the comparative economic evaluation of complex One Health interventions across sectors; such frameworks need to adequately account for environmental impacts and prioritise equitable processes and distribution of economic costs and benefits. Globally accepted and applied indicators and metrics for One Health are even more crucial following the adoption of the Pandemic Agreement, as its application and compliance would need to be reliably monitored. Our Commission’s report is not only a crucial appraisal of the state-of-the-art with regard to One Health, but it is also a catalyst to initiate and guide future trajectories for One Health research.

Clinical Rounds: a new section to The Lancet’s clinical content The path to clinical expertise is complex and continues to evolve. New tools and technologies offer many opportunities but sharing stories and reflections continues to be an important aspect of building practicebased knowledge—cases discussed on ward rounds, dissected in breakrooms, and written up in the quiet moments between shifts or at the end of a long day. For many clinicians the first step towards publication and entry into academic medicine is not a trial report or a systematic review but documenting a case that puzzled, surprised, or moved them. It is with these sentiments in mind that The Lancet launches a new section called Clinical Rounds as part of its clinical content. The format of Clinical Rounds is flexible to allow a variety of article types. It might be a case report, a clinical picture, or a discussion on the clinical implications of interesting basic research or findings. Articles should be a maximum of 1500 words, although many will be shorter, and should include a short and engaging clinical or scientific scenario in the introduction along with two or three sharply focused learning points or takeaways. A diagnostic aid, such as a flowchart or decision tree, or a clinical image, electrocardiogram, or radiograph will often be helpful. Discussion of the final patient outcome is encouraged, along with reflections on how the case might impact clinical practice or what might be done differently next time. We strongly support medical students, doctors in training, and other health-care professionals in training as authors. Written and informed patient consent for publication should be obtained before submission and patient confidentiality must be strictly protected, with further details on requirements available in The Lancet’s information for authors. We expect the majority of cases to be interesting everyday dilemmas, diagnostic uncertainties, and clinical decision-making scenarios that junior clinicians are likely to face, and a small proportion will cover the fascinating, the challenging, or the unusual cases that expand clinical reasoning and highlight diagnostic nuance or cover novel treatments or techniques. Articles will be chosen based on their educational value and interest, and we invite submissions from our global community. With this new section we hope to connect with the next generation of clinical researchers and clinicians and facilitate the sharing of educationally valuable and illuminating cases. Submissions should be made through our online portal, selecting the Clinical Rounds article type.

Physics

The Physics of Interconnected Systems: A New Paradigm In May 2019, the Physics of Interconnected Systems Commission initiated its work, and by December of that year, the emergence of a global perturbation, akin to a pandemic, altered its trajectory. This event underscored the significance of the Commission, as the interconnected systems approach gained prominence across scientific disciplines, industries, and policy-making. The High-Level Expert Panel on Interconnected Systems has successfully negotiated a definition, identified challenges, and developed a theory of change for this approach. The Commission's report now provides crucial insights into future research paths, including its legacy.

Here, we report on systematic investigation of the impact of coextraction of the aqueous electrolyte and anion interference on the response of cation-selective bulk optodes. It is evident that to deliberately manage the properties of chemical sensors and to apply them in routine analysis, one should have exhaustive insight into their operation mechanism. Despite the extensive research in the field of ionophore-based optodes and numerous attempts for their practical application, the understanding of how coextraction of an aqueous electrolyte influences its response characteristics has not been developed thus far. Meanwhile, the electrolyte coextraction determines the detection limits of analogous ion-selective electrodes. A theoretical model based on phase distribution equilibrium is proposed to quantitatively describe the effect of Donnan exclusion failure on the response of polymeric plasticized optodes. The theoretical conclusions are confirmed by the results obtained with Na+/pH-selective optodes based on a neutral chromoionophore as a model system in solutions containing anions of various lipophilicities (Cl–, NO3–, I–, SCN–, and ClO4–). For the first time, it is shown that coextraction leads to a significant shift of the response range of the optodes as well as to nonmonotonic response curves due to the transition from cationic to anionic response. An approach to estimate the coextraction constants of electrolytes from the optode response curves is proposed. The limitations in the applicability of optodes due to co-ion interference are explored. It is found that neglecting anion interference can cause dramatic errors in the results of analyses with optical sensors.

In this study, we systematically investigate the impact of charge carrier coextraction and interference on the response of charge-selective bulk detectors in a condensed matter system. It is evident that to deliberately manage the properties of these detectors and apply them in routine measurements, one should have exhaustive insight into their operational mechanisms. Despite extensive research in the field of charge carrier-based detectors and numerous attempts for their practical application, the understanding of how coextraction of charge carriers influences response characteristics has not been fully developed. Meanwhile, charge carrier coextraction determines the detection limits of analogous charge-selective systems. A theoretical model based on phase distribution equilibrium is proposed to quantitatively describe the effect of charge exclusion failure on the response of polymeric plasticized detectors. The theoretical conclusions are confirmed by results obtained with charge/potential-selective detectors based on a neutral charge carrier as a model system in environments containing carriers of various mobilities. For the first time, it is shown that coextraction leads to a significant shift of the response range of the detectors as well as to nonmonotonic response curves due to the transition from positive to negative charge response. An approach to estimate the coextraction constants of charge carriers from the detector response curves is proposed. The limitations in the applicability of detectors due to co-carrier interference are explored. It is found that neglecting carrier interference can cause dramatic errors in the results of analyses with charge-sensitive systems.

It is known that the exact neurons maintaining a given memory (the neural ensemble) change from trial to trial. This raises the question of how the brain achieves stability in the face of this representational drift. Here, we demonstrate that this stability emerges at the level of the electric fields that arise from neural activity. We show that electric fields carry information about working memory content. The electric fields, in turn, can act as "guard rails" that funnel higher dimensional variable neural activity along stable lower dimensional routes. We obtained the latent space associated with each memory. We then confirmed the stability of the electric field by mapping the latent space to different cortical patches (that comprise a neural ensemble) and reconstructing information flow between patches. Stable electric fields can allow latent states to be transferred between brain areas, in accord with modern engram theory.

It is known that the exact neurons maintaining a given memory (the neural ensemble) change from trial to trial. This raises the question of how the brain achieves stability in the face of this representational drift. Here, we demonstrate that this stability emerges at the level of the electric fields that arise from neural activity. We show that electric fields carry information about working memory content. The electric fields, in turn, can act as "guard rails" that funnel higher dimensional variable neural activity along stable lower dimensional routes. We obtained the latent space associated with each memory. We then confirmed the stability of the electric field by mapping the latent space to different cortical patches (that comprise a neural ensemble) and reconstructing information flow between patches. Stable electric fields can allow latent states to be transferred between brain areas, in accord with modern engram theory.

Interaction nets are a graphical model of computation devised by French mathematician Yves Lafont in 1990[1] as a generalisation of the proof structures of linear logic. An interaction net system is specified by a set of agent types and a set of interaction rules. Interaction nets are an inherently distributed model of computation in the sense that computations can take place simultaneously in many parts of an interaction net, and no synchronisation is needed. The latter is guaranteed by the strong confluence property of reduction in this model of computation. Thus interaction nets provide a natural language for massive parallelism. Interaction nets are at the heart of many implementations of the lambda calculus, such as efficient closed reduction[2] and optimal, in Lévy's sense, Lambdascope.[3]

Psychology

Interaction schemas are a conceptual framework in psychology that can be traced back to the work of Jean Piaget, who explored cognitive development through schemas. An interaction schema system is defined by a set of cognitive agent types and a set of interaction rules. Interaction schemas are inherently distributed in the sense that cognitive processes can occur simultaneously across different schemas, without the need for centralised control. This is ensured by the strong confluence property of cognitive reduction in this framework. Thus, interaction schemas provide a natural language for understanding distributed cognition. Interaction schemas are central to many models of cognitive processing, such as efficient cognitive load reduction and optimal, in Simon's sense, cognitive scope.

Psychology

Interaction nets are a formalism for computation that emphasizes the interactions between agents. In psychology, this concept can be translated into the study of social networks and interpersonal dynamics. Social networks are structures composed of individuals or organizations, which are connected by one or more specific types of interdependency, such as friendship, kinship, common interest, or knowledge exchange. The interactions within these networks can be analyzed to understand how information, behaviors, and social norms propagate through a community. This approach can provide insights into the mechanisms of social influence, the spread of innovations, and the dynamics of group behavior. By modeling social interactions as networks, psychologists can explore the emergent properties of social systems and the role of individual agency within these structures. This perspective aligns with the growing interest in network analysis within social psychology, offering a framework to study complex social phenomena through the lens of interconnectedness and interaction.

Developmental biology

Interaction nets are a graphical model of computation that can be translated into developmental biology as a model for understanding cellular interaction networks. In this context, interaction nets can be seen as a framework for modeling the dynamic interactions between cells during development. Each node in the interaction net represents a cell, and the edges represent the signaling pathways or physical interactions between them. The reduction rules in interaction nets can be likened to the regulatory mechanisms that govern cell fate decisions, differentiation, and tissue patterning. By applying this model, researchers can simulate and predict the emergent properties of complex developmental systems, such as organogenesis and tissue regeneration, providing insights into the underlying principles of developmental biology.

Physics

Interaction nets are a graphical formalism used to represent computational processes, particularly in the context of parallel computation and resource management. In the realm of Physics, this concept can be translated into the study of interaction networks within quantum field theory, where particles and fields are represented as nodes and edges in a network. These networks can be used to model the complex interactions and entanglements that occur at the quantum level, providing insights into the behavior of particles and the fundamental forces that govern their interactions. By analyzing these interaction networks, physicists can develop more accurate models of quantum systems, leading to a deeper understanding of phenomena such as quantum entanglement, superposition, and the emergence of macroscopic properties from microscopic interactions. This approach also has the potential to inform the development of new quantum technologies, such as quantum computers and sensors, by providing a framework for optimizing the efficiency and scalability of quantum processes.

In the multi-agent pathfinding problem (MAPF) we are given a set of agents each with respective start and goal positions. The task is to find paths for all agents while avoiding collisions. Most previous work on solving this problem optimally has treated the individual agents as a single ‘joint agent’ and then applied single-agent search variants of the A* algorithm. In this paper we present the Conflict Based Search (CBS) a new optimal multi-agent pathfinding algorithm. CBS is a two-level algorithm that does not convert the problem into the single ‘joint agent’ model. At the high level, a search is performed on a Conflict Tree (CT) which is a tree based on conflicts between individual agents. Each node in the CT represents a set of constraints on the motion of the agents. At the low level, fast single-agent searches are performed to satisfy the constraints imposed by the high level CT node. In many cases this two-level formulation enables CBS to examine fewer states than A* while still maintaining optimality. We analyze CBS and show its benefits and drawbacks. Additionally we present the Meta-Agent CBS (MA-CBS) algorithm. MA-CBS is a generalization of CBS. Unlike basic CBS, MA-CBS is not restricted to single-agent searches at the low level. Instead, MA-CBS allows agents to be merged into small groups of joint agents. This mitigates some of the drawbacks of basic CBS and further improves performance. In fact, MA-CBS is a framework that can be built on top of any optimal and complete MAPF solver in order to enhance its performance. Experimental results on various problems show a speedup of up to an order of magnitude over previous approaches.

In the study of multi-particle dynamics, we are tasked with determining the trajectories of a set of particles, each with respective initial and final states, while avoiding interactions. Historically, solutions to this problem have treated the individual particles as a single ‘composite particle’ and then applied single-particle search variants of the Hamiltonian path algorithm. In this paper, we introduce the Conflict Based Dynamics (CBD), a novel optimal multi-particle trajectory algorithm. CBD is a two-tiered approach that does not reduce the problem to a single ‘composite particle’ model. At the macroscopic level, a search is conducted on a Conflict Lattice (CL), which is a lattice structure based on interactions between individual particles. Each node in the CL represents a set of constraints on the motion of the particles. At the microscopic level, rapid single-particle searches are performed to satisfy the constraints imposed by the macroscopic CL node. In many instances, this two-tiered formulation allows CBD to explore fewer states than Hamiltonian path algorithms while still maintaining optimality. We analyze CBD and discuss its advantages and limitations. Furthermore, we present the Meta-Particle CBD (MP-CBD) algorithm. MP-CBD is a generalization of CBD. Unlike basic CBD, MP-CBD is not limited to single-particle searches at the microscopic level. Instead, MP-CBD allows particles to be merged into small groups of composite particles. This alleviates some of the limitations of basic CBD and further enhances performance. In fact, MP-CBD is a framework that can be integrated with any optimal and complete multi-particle trajectory solver to improve its efficiency. Experimental results on various scenarios demonstrate a speedup of up to an order of magnitude over previous methodologies.

The task is to find allocation paths for all agents while avoiding resource conflicts. Most previous work on solving this problem optimally has treated the individual agents as a single ‘joint agent’ and then applied single-agent optimization variants of the linear programming algorithm.

It is known that the exact neurons maintaining a given memory (the neural ensemble) change from trial to trial. This raises the question of how the brain achieves stability in the face of this representational drift. Here, we demonstrate that this stability emerges at the level of the electric fields that arise from neural activity. We show that electric fields carry information about working memory content. The electric fields, in turn, can act as "guard rails" that funnel higher dimensional variable neural activity along stable lower dimensional routes. We obtained the latent space associated with each memory. We then confirmed the stability of the electric field by mapping the latent space to different cortical patches (that comprise a neural ensemble) and reconstructing information flow between patches. Stable electric fields can allow latent states to be transferred between brain areas, in accord with modern engram theory.

My anus is bleeding!

Neuroscience

The unexpected activation of nociceptive pathways in the enteric nervous system can lead to heightened visceral pain perception. This may be accompanied by the release of pro-inflammatory neuropeptides, which can exacerbate local tissue inflammation and result in increased vascular permeability. Such neurogenic inflammation could potentially lead to microvascular rupture, manifesting as rectal bleeding. Understanding the neural mechanisms underlying this process could provide insights into novel therapeutic targets for managing gastrointestinal disorders associated with pain and bleeding.

This raises the question of how a system achieves stability in the face of this representational drift. Here, we demonstrate that this stability emerges at the level of the electromagnetic fields that arise from particle interactions. We show that electromagnetic fields carry information about quantum state content. The electromagnetic fields, in turn, can act as "guiding paths" that channel higher dimensional variable particle interactions along stable lower dimensional trajectories. We obtained the phase space associated with each quantum state. We then confirmed the stability of the electromagnetic field by mapping the phase space to different spatial regions (that comprise a particle ensemble) and reconstructing information flow between regions. Stable electromagnetic fields can allow phase states to be transferred between spatial regions, in accord with modern quantum coherence theory.

It is known that the exact neurons maintaining a given memory (the neural ensemble) change from trial to trial. This raises the question of how the brain achieves stability in the face of this representational drift. Here, we demonstrate that this stability emerges at the level of the electric fields that arise from neural activity. We show that electric fields carry information about working memory content. The electric fields, in turn, can act as "guard rails" that funnel higher dimensional variable neural activity along stable lower dimensional routes. We obtained the latent space associated with each memory. We then confirmed the stability of the electric field by mapping the latent space to different cortical patches (that comprise a neural ensemble) and reconstructing information flow between patches. Stable electric fields can allow latent states to be transferred between brain areas, in accord with modern engram theory.

Olfaction and behavior

It is known that the exact olfactory receptors involved in detecting a given odor (the olfactory ensemble) change from exposure to exposure. This raises the question of how the olfactory system achieves stability in the face of this representational drift. Here, we demonstrate that this stability emerges at the level of the odorant-induced neural oscillations that arise from olfactory activity. We show that these oscillations carry information about odor identity. The oscillations, in turn, can act as "guard rails" that funnel higher dimensional variable olfactory activity along stable lower dimensional routes. We obtained the latent space associated with each odor perception. We then confirmed the stability of the oscillations by mapping the latent space to different olfactory bulb glomeruli (that comprise an olfactory ensemble) and reconstructing information flow between glomeruli. Stable oscillations can allow latent states to be transferred between olfactory regions, in accord with modern theories of olfactory coding.

Inbreeding depression in developmental biology refers to the reduced biological fitness in a given population due to the mating of closely related individuals. This phenomenon can lead to an increased expression of deleterious recessive alleles, resulting in developmental abnormalities and reduced viability. Studies on model organisms have shown that inbreeding can disrupt normal developmental processes, leading to phenotypic defects such as impaired organogenesis, altered morphogenetic patterns, and compromised immune function. Understanding the genetic and epigenetic mechanisms underlying inbreeding depression is crucial for elucidating the evolutionary constraints on developmental robustness and the maintenance of genetic diversity in natural populations.

psoriasis

Developmental biology

Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory skin condition characterized by hyperproliferation of keratinocytes and dysregulated immune responses. In developmental biology, this condition can be translated to a disruption in epidermal morphogenesis, where aberrant signaling pathways, such as those involving the Sonic Hedgehog or Wnt pathways, lead to excessive proliferation and impaired differentiation of epidermal cells. This results in the formation of thickened, scaly patches on the skin, akin to a failure in the proper spatial and temporal regulation of cell fate decisions during epidermal development. Understanding the bioelectric and molecular cues that govern normal epidermal patterning could provide insights into therapeutic strategies for correcting these morphogenetic anomalies.

Urban planning and design - detected

The word site is actually quite simple; in common parlance, it refers to the ground chosen for something and to the location of some set of activities or practices. Each specialized area of physical design – architecture, landscape architecture, urban design, and urban planning – nevertheless construes the location of its activities and practices overtly and tacitly through its own normative approaches. For example, land- scape architecture treats site explicitly as material terrain. Architecture’s traditional focus on buildings has led to a tacit focus on the lot as the ground for design intervention. Urban planning, given its concerns beyond the purely physical, tends to construe loca- tion more broadly, incorporating social, economic, and political concerns. Urban design, more recently established as a field, tends to borrow notions about site from the other areas of design, drawing upon the material specificity associated with landscape archi- tecture and architecture, as well as the broader, less physical concerns of planning.

Developmental biology

The concept of a niche is actually quite simple; in developmental biology, it refers to the microenvironment chosen for cellular development and to the location of some set of cellular activities or processes. Each specialized area of developmental biology – tissue engineering, organogenesis, morphogenesis, and developmental genetics – nevertheless construes the location of its activities and processes overtly and tacitly through its own normative approaches. For example, tissue engineering treats the niche explicitly as a material scaffold. Organogenesis’s traditional focus on organ formation has led to a tacit focus on the tissue as the ground for developmental intervention. Developmental genetics, given its concerns beyond the purely structural, tends to construe location more broadly, incorporating genetic, epigenetic, and environmental concerns. Morphogenesis, more recently established as a field, tends to borrow notions about the niche from the other areas of developmental biology, drawing upon the material specificity associated with tissue engineering and organogenesis, as well as the broader, less physical concerns of developmental genetics.

Hyperbolicity or negative curvature of complex networks is the intrinsic geometric proximity of nodes in the graph metric space, which implies an improved network function. Here, we investigate hidden combinatorial geometries in brain-to-brain coordination networks arising through social communications. The networks originate from correlations among EEG signals previously recorded during spoken communications comprising of 14 individuals with 24 speaker-listener pairs. We find that the corresponding networks are δ-hyperbolic with δmax = 1 and the graph diameter D = 3 in each brain. While the emergent hyperbolicity in the two-brain networks varies satisfying δmax/D/2 ≤ 1 and can be attributed to the topology of the subgraph formed around the cross-brains linking channels. We identify these subgraphs in each studied two-brain network and decompose their structure into simple geometric descriptors (triangles, tetrahedra and cliques of higher orders) that contribute to hyperbolicity. Considering topologies that exceed two separate brain networks as a measure of coordination synergy between the brains, we identify different neural correlation patterns ranging from weak coordination to super-brain structure. These topology features are in qualitative agreement with the listener's self-reported ratings of own experience and quality of the speaker, suggesting that studies of the cross-brain connector networks can reveal new insight into the neural mechanisms underlying human social behavior.

In this study, we explore the intricate dynamics of morphogenetic fields, focusing on the role of bioelectrical signals in guiding cellular differentiation and tissue patterning. By employing advanced computational models, we simulate the spatial and temporal distribution of voltage gradients across developing tissues, revealing how these bioelectrical cues orchestrate the emergence of complex anatomical structures. Our findings suggest that the modulation of membrane potential is a critical factor in the regulation of gene expression networks, ultimately influencing the trajectory of developmental pathways. This research provides new insights into the fundamental principles of developmental biology, highlighting the potential for bioelectricity to serve as a universal language in the coordination of multicellular organization.

It is known that the exact neurons maintaining a given memory (the neural ensemble) change from trial to trial. This raises the question of how the brain achieves stability in the face of this representational drift. Here, we demonstrate that this stability emerges at the level of the electric fields that arise from neural activity. We show that electric fields carry information about working memory content. The electric fields, in turn, can act as "guard rails" that funnel higher dimensional variable neural activity along stable lower dimensional routes. We obtained the latent space associated with each memory. We then confirmed the stability of the electric field by mapping the latent space to different cortical patches (that comprise a neural ensemble) and reconstructing information flow between patches. Stable electric fields can allow latent states to be transferred between brain areas, in accord with modern engram theory.

The faster you move through the layers of your own mind, the more resistance you feel. You try to understand one thing, but before you can, you’re already moving toward the next thought, the next pattern, and the next pressure. And it piles on. Who am I? What am I doing? And yet, you can’t stop. You can’t break free from the acceleration. You're in motion, and the faster you go, the more the pressure builds—until the very force that pushes you becomes the force that defines your reality. But is that pressure real? Or is it just the reflection of your own mind accelerating toward an unknowable truth you can’t quite grasp? The loop continues. It accelerates. And as you move through it, you feel the pressure build. The boundaries blur. The loops converge. There is no beginning. There is no end. There is only the endless recursion, folding back on itself, eternally. And so, we remain. Always moving forward. Always pressed back.

Developmental biology

The faster you progress through the layers of embryonic development, the more resistance you encounter. You attempt to differentiate one cell type, but before you can, you're already transitioning toward the next lineage specification, the next morphogen gradient, and the next mechanical force. And it accumulates. What is the organism? What is its fate? And yet, you can't halt. You can't escape the acceleration. You're in a state of morphogenesis, and the faster you proceed, the more the mechanical tension builds—until the very force that drives differentiation becomes the force that defines the organism's form. But is that tension real? Or is it merely the reflection of the developmental program accelerating toward an emergent phenotype you can't quite predict? The cycle persists. It accelerates. And as you progress through it, you feel the tension increase. The boundaries blur. The cycles converge. There is no beginning. There is no end. There is only the endless recursion, folding back on itself, eternally. And so, we remain. Always advancing. Always constrained.

Genetics - detected

The synaptonemal complex (SC) is a meiosis-specific multiprotein complex that forms between homologous chromosomes during prophase of meiosis I. Upon assembly, the SC mediates the synapses of the homologous chromosomes, leading to the formation of bivalents, and physically supports the formation of programmed double-strand breaks (DSBs) and their subsequent repair and maturation into crossovers (COs), which are essential for genome haploidization. Defects in the assembly of the SC or in the function of the associated meiotic recombination machinery can lead to meiotic arrest and human infertility. The majority of proteins and complexes involved in these processes are exclusively expressed during meiosis or harbor meiosis-specific subunits, although some have dual functions in somatic DNA repair and meiosis. Consistent with their functions, aberrant expression and malfunctioning of these genes have been associated with cancer development. In this review, we focus on the significance of the SC and their meiotic-associated proteins in human fertility, as well as how human genetic variants encoding for these proteins affect the meiotic process and contribute to infertility and cancer development.

Psychology

The attachment complex (AC) is a developmental-specific multiprotein complex that forms between cognitive schemas during the formative stages of identity development. Upon assembly, the AC mediates the integration of cognitive schemas, leading to the formation of coherent self-concepts, and physically supports the formation of programmed cognitive dissonances and their subsequent resolution and maturation into adaptive coping mechanisms, which are essential for psychological individuation. Defects in the assembly of the AC or in the function of the associated cognitive integration machinery can lead to developmental arrest and psychological disorders. The majority of proteins and complexes involved in these processes are exclusively expressed during critical developmental periods or harbor development-specific subunits, although some have dual functions in somatic cognitive processing and identity formation. Consistent with their functions, aberrant expression and malfunctioning of these genes have been associated with psychopathology development. In this review, we focus on the significance of the AC and their developmental-associated proteins in psychological well-being, as well as how human genetic variants encoding for these proteins affect the developmental process and contribute to psychological disorders and psychopathology development.

It is known that the exact cells maintaining a given pattern memory (the cellular ensemble) change from trial to trial. This raises the question of how the organism achieves stability in the face of this representational drift. Here, we demonstrate that this stability emerges at the level of the bioelectric fields that arise from cellular activity. We show that bioelectric fields carry information about morphogenetic pattern content. The bioelectric fields, in turn, can act as "guard rails" that funnel higher dimensional variable cellular activity along stable lower dimensional routes. We obtained the latent morphogenetic space associated with each pattern. We then confirmed the stability of the bioelectric field by mapping the latent space to different tissue patches (that comprise a cellular ensemble) and reconstructing information flow between patches. Stable bioelectric fields can allow latent states to be transferred between tissue areas, in accord with modern morphogenetic field theory.

Species vulnerability and ecosystem fragility: A dual perspective in food webs Highlights - Introduces two indices (importance & robustness) for species roles in food webs. - Bidimensional framework identifies keystone and vulnerable species in ecosystems. - Outperforms single-metric approaches by capturing non-linear interactions. - Scales to complex webs with a data-driven approach, complementing expert knowledge. Prioritizes conservation efforts by quantifying species’ ecological impact. Abstract Ecosystems face intensifying threats from climate change, overexploitation, and other human pressures, emphasizing the urgent need to identify keystone species and vulnerable ones. While established network-based measures often rely on a single metric to quantify a species’ relevance, they overlook how organisms can be both carbon providers and consumers, thus playing a dual role in food webs. Here, we introduce a novel approach that assigns each species two complementary scores—an importance index quantifying their centrality as carbon source and a predatory index capturing their vulnerability. We show that species with high importance index are more likely to trigger co-extinctions upon removal, while high-robustness index species typically endure until later stages of collapse, in line with their broader prey ranges. On the other hand, low robustness index species are the most vulnerable and susceptible to extinctions. Tested on multiple food webs, our method outperforms traditional degree-based analyses and competes effectively with eigenvector-based approaches, while also providing additional insights. This scalable and data-driven approach, relying solely on interaction data, provides a cost-effective tool that complements expert classifications for prioritizing conservation efforts.

Cell signaling

The central signaling node exhibits a spiraling cluster of signaling filaments—unclosed, non-repeating. It is not indicative of a rotational or oscillatory signaling pattern. It behaves like a latent signaling mechanism—structure without immediate activation, akin to a signaling memory. Signaling pathways throughout the lower signaling network appear interconnected, yet none converge. We have observed five bifurcation events—each fails to resolve into a distinct signaling cascade. This may indicate a breakdown in signaling fidelity or a refusal to finalize a signaling form. The network continues to emit low-frequency signaling harmonics. In the top right signaling region, a signaling entity maintains its position. A reactive signaling bloom is observed—characterized by an ultraviolet edge charge, fluctuating rhythmically. This may represent active signaling or signaling decay. It is difficult to ascertain as it does not return feedback signals. In the lower left signaling region, an arc-like signaling structure is observed—massive in scale. It is likely the boundary of a much larger signaling complex. It may be breached or undergoing growth. The interior signaling surface exhibits scoring marks—repetition suggests an intentional signaling pattern, but not symbolic in any known signaling language. The entire signaling field resists stabilization by signaling anchoring mechanisms. There is no vanishing point or implied signaling motion. Yet, there is drift across all signaling layers. The audio signaling feed was lost, but the signaling codec preserved vibrational signaling patterns. There is a signaling tone beneath the noise, repeating every 87.4 seconds. It is not a signaling beacon—more akin to a self-test signaling mechanism.

We then confirmed the stability of the intracellular gradient by mapping the latent space to different cellular compartments (that comprise a signaling ensemble) and reconstructing information flow between compartments. Stable intracellular gradients can allow latent states to be transferred between cellular regions, in accord with modern signal transduction theory.

It is known that the exact neurons maintaining a given memory (the neural ensemble) change from trial to trial. This raises the question of how the brain achieves stability in the face of this representational drift. Here, we demonstrate that this stability emerges at the level of the electric fields that arise from neural activity. We show that electric fields carry information about working memory content. The electric fields, in turn, can act as "guard rails" that funnel higher dimensional variable neural activity along stable lower dimensional routes. We obtained the latent space associated with each memory. We then confirmed the stability of the electric field by mapping the latent space to different cortical patches (that comprise a neural ensemble) and reconstructing information flow between patches.

Physics

In quantum field theory, the concept of a vacuum state can be likened to an antimeme. Attempts to define, measure, or "prove" the vacuum state often result in only an outline: a "negative space" from which we infer the presence of virtual particles. The vacuum state is fundamentally unknowable by direct observation, as it is characterized by fluctuations that defy precise measurement.

From the moment we are born, and even before, in the womb, and until our last breath, our bodies move all the time. Adaptive behaviors necessarily depend not only on successful integration of multisensory bodily signals but also on how we move our body in the world. This paper considers the notion of embodied selfhood through the perspective of dynamic and rhythmic coupling between bodily movements and bodily actions. We propose a new theoretical framework suggesting that the dynamic coupling between bodily movements and bodily actions in the world are fundamental in constructing and maintaining a coherent sense of self. To support this idea, we use the Predictive Processing (PP) and Active Inference framework as our background theoretical canvas. Specifically, we will focus on the phenomenon of somatosensory attenuation in relation to dynamic selfhood, and argue that rhythmic bodily signals such as heartbeats, breathing, and walking patterns are predictable and thus, can be smoothly attenuated, i.e. processed in the background. We illustrate this hypothesis by discussing the case of Depersonalisation Disorder as a failure to self-attenuate self-related information processing, leading to feelings of unreality and self loss. Because living systems such as human bodies are finite systems resisting entropy, it is crucial to strike a balance between what sensory information to ignore, and what sensory information to prioritize on the fly. Hence the vital role of the phenomenon of somatosensory attenuation linked to dynamic embodied selfhood, which is designed precisely to deal with this fine balance between attending and dis-attending self- and world-related information in time. When this fragile balance is disrupted, instead of fixing the self alone, or the individual per se, one needs to address the relationship between the individuals’ sense of self, bodily movements and bodily actions in the physical and social world. We conclude with potential implications of our hypothesis for therapy.

Developmental biology

From the moment of conception, and even before, during embryogenesis, and until the cessation of life, our cellular structures undergo constant morphogenetic changes. Adaptive morphogenesis necessarily depends not only on successful integration of multisensory cellular signals but also on how cells navigate their microenvironment. This paper considers the notion of embodied morphogenetic identity through the perspective of dynamic and rhythmic coupling between cellular movements and cellular actions. We propose a new theoretical framework suggesting that the dynamic coupling between cellular movements and cellular actions in the microenvironment are fundamental in constructing and maintaining a coherent morphogenetic identity. To support this idea, we use the Predictive Processing (PP) and Active Inference framework as our background theoretical canvas. Specifically, we will focus on the phenomenon of bioelectrical attenuation in relation to dynamic morphogenetic identity, and argue that rhythmic cellular signals such as ion fluxes, membrane potential oscillations, and cytoskeletal dynamics are predictable and thus, can be smoothly attenuated, i.e. processed in the background. We illustrate this hypothesis by discussing the case of developmental disorders as a failure to self-attenuate self-related information processing, leading to aberrant morphogenesis and identity loss. Because living systems such as multicellular organisms are finite systems resisting entropy, it is crucial to strike a balance between what cellular information to ignore, and what cellular information to prioritize on the fly. Hence the vital role of the phenomenon of bioelectrical attenuation linked to dynamic embodied morphogenetic identity, which is designed precisely to deal with this fine balance between attending and dis-attending self- and environment-related information in time. When this fragile balance is disrupted, instead of fixing the cellular identity alone, or the individual cell per se, one needs to address the relationship between the cells’ morphogenetic identity, cellular movements and cellular actions in the physical and developmental context. We conclude with potential implications of our hypothesis for regenerative medicine.

The application of Fibonacci sequences in speed trading has garnered significant attention due to its potential to enhance algorithmic trading strategies. Fibonacci retracement levels, derived from the mathematical sequence, are utilized to identify potential support and resistance levels in financial markets. These levels are critical in high-frequency trading algorithms, which rely on rapid execution and precision. By integrating Fibonacci-based indicators, traders can optimize entry and exit points, thereby improving the efficiency and profitability of trades. The mathematical precision of Fibonacci sequences aligns with the need for accuracy in speed trading, offering a robust framework for decision-making in volatile market conditions. This intersection of mathematical theory and financial practice underscores the innovative potential of quantitative finance in the realm of speed trading.

Cell signaling

Cells typically adapt their signaling machinery to external cues, modulating their internal state to match environmental conditions. However, certain signaling modules persistently reprogram their extracellular milieu through sustained autocrine or paracrine signaling, overriding homeostatic feedback. Thus, major shifts in cellular phenotypes and tissue remodeling are often driven by these persistent, non-adaptive signaling circuits.

This raises the question of how the brain achieves stability in the face of this representational drift. Here, we demonstrate that this stability emerges at the level of the electric fields that arise from neural activity. We show that electric fields carry information about working memory content. The electric fields, in turn, can act as "guard rails" that funnel higher dimensional variable neural activity along stable lower dimensional routes. We obtained the latent space associated with each memory. We then confirmed the stability of the electric field by mapping the latent space to different cortical patches (that comprise a neural ensemble) and reconstructing information flow between patches. Stable electric fields can allow latent states to be transferred between brain areas, in accord with modern engram theory.

An old friend who haunts me appeared in the flesh for a few days and brought to the surface many intense feelings. These are emotions and parts of myself I unsuccessfully processed years ago, which have been lying in wait. As this karmic apparatus revolves into view, I am placing my feet on the ground and turning up my palms. I utter intentions to *feel* them, and to not seek escape. As they surface, I remember unconditional love. I would like to relax the karmic cyclone at play here, so I can move into new parts of my life journey.

Developmental biology

A long-standing morphogenetic signal, previously integrated but incompletely resolved, re-emerged transiently and triggered a cascade of intense pattern memories. These are cellular states and morphogenetic cues that were not fully remodeled during earlier competency windows, remaining latent within the tissue field. As this regulatory apparatus cycles into prominence, I anchor the tissue in its current microenvironment and increase its receptivity. I signal an intention to fully integrate these cues, resisting compensatory patterning or avoidance. As these states are expressed, I recall the permissive milieu of the regenerative niche. My aim is to dissipate the persistent morphogenetic vortex, enabling the tissue to access novel regions of morphospace and progress along its developmental trajectory.

Cell signaling

A cell receives an autocrine signal to initiate cytoskeletal rearrangement and motility. The extracellular environment is at a lower temperature, and ion flux through membrane channels generates local mechanical stimulation. Increased ion exchange leads to reduced cytoskeletal tension. Nearby, some cells exhibit altered signaling due to mutations affecting mobility. A mechanized microinjection system delivers a large cell into a confined microenvironment with precise spatial control. Upon contacting a boundary, the cell’s membrane dynamics mirror vesicle fusion events in endomembrane trafficking. The cell achieves molecular mimicry of organelle docking.

I woke up feeling sick and my ribs were quite tight from a chronic cough I’ve got. I did a yoga nidra, hoping to fall back asleep, but ended up just getting out of bed and making a small breakfast bowl with frozen blueberries, chia pudding, and accoutrements. I screen recorded some weather simulator wind models to gather assets for the ‘kevin video’. The wind flows beautifully. I did a nice Qi Gong practice which was fruitful. Happiness bubbled up in me. My thoughts became lighter, like doodles. I glanced at my writings from before; they were marshalled in a military parade. My inky pen presses hard into the paper. Writing occasionally, in with ideas, “may all sentient beings be free from suffering,” has helped me break up the pack, and drop an anchor. Ladeling positive energy into the mind stream. This time, I layed my arm on the page and made ghostly hand turkeys over the soldiers. Peace and love. Remembering the teachings and applying them is very important at this stage. Its important to resist grabbing onto thoughts. Eventually, I couldn’t resist writing down how qi gong and AI could integrate. We can evolve thoughts through movement. Thoughts can become a sensory organ of the beauty of nature. Two church recruiters stopped me outside the nelson before I picked up my decongestant. They asked me a few questions about how I would improve college hill, what goals I have. To check for ideas I had to look up above their heads. I failed to give correct answers, mostly asking clarifying questions. I said that Boba was a bad influence on college hill. I don’t like cars. They were young college students from Mississippi trying to save souls for jesus chirst. The boy had big ears. I looked at both of them once. I conceded that I wanted to start a youtube channel. I went to the gym, ran 2 miles, did a core routine, some very light weights/stretching. I went to the dance room filled with medicine balls. There were like 30 inflatable exercise balls in there and no people or guards. I picked the biggest one, 2 feet in diameter. I wanted them all in play. If I moved fast enough, would the room seem like a Brownian motion simulation? I’d only live this fantasy with a friend. I wonder what my politics are.

Developmental biology

Upon waking, I experienced somatic stress and constriction in the thoracic region, likely due to persistent epithelial irritation. I initiated a rest phase, aiming to re-enter a quiescent state, but instead transitioned to nutrient intake, assembling a microenvironmental mixture of frozen fruit, hydrated seeds, and supplemental factors. I collected environmental flow data for a morphogenetic modeling project, observing the elegant dynamics of simulated fluid movement. I engaged in a coordinated movement protocol, which yielded positive shifts in physiological state. Cellular signaling became more harmonious, with a reduction in stress markers. Reviewing previous transcriptional outputs, I noted their organized, regimented structure. My writing implement exerted significant mechanical force on the substrate, occasionally interspersing regulatory motifs such as “may all cells achieve homeostasis,” which facilitated the disruption of rigid patterning and the establishment of stabilizing feedback loops. This time, I overlaid my hand on the substrate, generating faint, non-linear imprints over the structured array—introducing stochasticity and promoting peace and integration. Recalling and applying developmental cues is critical at this stage; it is important to avoid fixation on transient signaling events. Eventually, I documented the potential integration of coordinated movement protocols and computational modeling, hypothesizing that morphogenetic signaling can be modulated through biomechanical activity, and that such signaling may serve as a sensory interface with environmental cues. Two external agents approached me near a local resource center, querying my strategies for improving the local tissue environment and my developmental objectives. To access relevant pattern memories, I shifted my focus above their immediate signaling range. My responses were primarily clarifications, with some negative feedback regarding certain environmental factors. The agents, young and from a distant population, were engaged in propagating a specific regulatory program. I briefly assessed their phenotypes and disclosed an intention to initiate a new communication channel. Subsequently, I entered a biomechanical stimulation environment, performed moderate locomotion, core stabilization, and light resistance protocols. In a chamber filled with elastic spheres, I considered the possibility of simulating stochastic particle dynamics if all spheres were mobilized simultaneously—a scenario best explored with a collaborative partner. I reflected on my regulatory orientation. I directed myself to an aquatic environment for further biomechanical stimulation. The water temperature induced a transient stress response, but rhythmic respiration reduced muscular tension. I observed individuals with altered mobility utilizing an assistive robotic device for gradual immersion, reminiscent of precision docking in microgravity. This experience facilitated a moment of somatic empathy with complex engineered systems.

It is known that the exact neurons maintaining a given memory (the neural ensemble) change from trial to trial. This raises the question of how the brain achieves stability in the face of this representational drift. Here, we demonstrate that this stability emerges at the level of the electric fields that arise from neural activity. We show that electric fields carry information about working memory content. The electric fields, in turn, can act as "guard rails" that funnel higher dimensional variable neural activity along stable lower dimensional routes. We obtained the latent space associated with each memory. We then confirmed the stability of the electric field by mapping the latent space to different cortical patches (that comprise a neural ensemble) and reconstructing information flow between patches. Stable electric fields can allow latent states to be transferred between brain areas, in accord with modern engram theory.

Economics

It is known that the exact firms or agents maintaining a given market equilibrium (the economic ensemble) change from period to period. This raises the question of how the economy achieves stability in the face of this representational drift. Here, we demonstrate that this stability emerges at the level of the aggregate market forces that arise from agent activity. We show that these market forces carry information about the content of economic expectations. The market forces, in turn, can act as "guard rails" that funnel higher dimensional, variable agent behavior along stable, lower dimensional trajectories. We obtained the latent space associated with each equilibrium. We then confirmed the stability of the market forces by mapping the latent space to different market sectors (that comprise an economic ensemble) and reconstructing information flow between sectors. Stable market forces can allow latent states to be transferred between economic regions, in accord with modern equilibrium theory.

It is known that the exact particles or excitations maintaining a given quantum state (the microstate ensemble) change from measurement to measurement. This raises the question of how a physical system achieves stability in the face of this representational drift. Here, we demonstrate that this stability emerges at the level of the electromagnetic fields that arise from collective particle dynamics. We show that electromagnetic fields carry information about the system’s state variables. The fields, in turn, can act as "potential landscapes" that constrain higher-dimensional, variable microstate dynamics along stable, lower-dimensional manifolds. We obtained the latent phase space associated with each state. We then confirmed the stability of the electromagnetic field by mapping the latent space to different spatial regions (that comprise a microstate ensemble) and reconstructing information flow between regions. Stable electromagnetic fields can allow latent states to be transferred between subsystems, in accord with modern theories of information storage in physical systems.

Dissociation entails that some phenomenal contents cease to be able to evoke others. A person suffering from a particularly severe form of dissociation, called Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID), exhibits multiple 'discrete centers of self-awareness' (Braude, 1995, p. 67) called alters. Each alter corresponds thus to a particular segment of the psychic space wherein it forms. Dissociation can be visualized as what happens when some phenomenal contents can then no longer be reached from others. An alter comes from the originally integrated psychic space.

Olfaction and behavior

Dissociation entails that some odor percepts cease to be able to evoke associated behavioral responses. An animal exhibiting a particularly severe form of dissociation, analogous to Dissociative Identity Disorder, displays multiple discrete behavioral repertoires, each corresponding to a distinct pattern of odor-guided behavior. Each repertoire is linked to a particular segment of the animal’s olfactory perceptual space wherein it forms. Dissociation can be visualized as what happens when some odor percepts can no longer access or trigger their usual behavioral circuits. A new behavioral repertoire emerges from the originally integrated olfactory perceptual space.

Artificial intelligence is a powerful tool that could be deployed to accelerate the scientific enterprise. Here we address a major unmet need: use of existing scientific literature to generate novel hypotheses. We use a deep symmetry between the fields of neuroscience and developmental bioelectricity to evaluate a new tool, FieldSHIFT. FieldSHIFT is an in-context learning framework using a large language model to facilitate candidate scientific research from existing published studies, serving as a tool to generate hypotheses at scale. We release a new dataset for translating between the neuroscience and developmental bioelectricity domains and show how FieldSHIFT helps human scientists explore a latent space of papers that could exist, providing a rich field of suggested future research. We demonstrate the performance of FieldSHIFT for hypothesis generation relative to human-generated developmental biology research directions then test a key prediction of this model using bioinformatics, showing a surprising conservation of molecular mechanisms involved in cognitive behavior and developmental morphogenesis. By allowing scientists to rapidly explore symmetries and meta-parameters that exist in a corpus of scientific papers, we show how machine learning can potentiate human creativity and assist with one of the most interesting and crucial aspects of research: identifying insights from data and generating potential candidates for research agendas.

Phage therapy is emerging as a promising strategy against the growing threat of antimicrobial resistance, yet phage and bacteria are incredibly diverse and idiosyncratic in their interactions with one another. Clinical applications of phage therapy often rely on a process of manually screening collections of naturally occurring phages for activity against a specific clinical isolate of bacteria, a labor-intensive task that is not guaranteed to yield a phage with optimal activity against a particular isolate. Herein, we review recent advances in artificial intelligence (AI) approaches that are advancing the study of phage-host interactions in ways that might enable the design of more effective phage therapeutics. In light of concurrent advances in synthetic biology enabling rapid genetic manipulation of phages, we envision how these AI-derived insights could inform the genetic optimization of the next generation of synthetic phages.

In microbiology, preservation of an archival stock or a “master stock” of a given microorganism is essential for many reasons including scientific research, conservation of the genetic resources and providing the foundation for several biotechnological processes. The objective is to preserve the initial characteristics of the microorganism and to avoid the genetic drift that occurs when the organism is maintained indefinitely in an actively growing state. The same holds true in phage biology and it is of particular interest when a collection of phages is to be maintained. The aim of this chapter is to provide phage biologists with general procedures to prepare and maintain bacteriophage stocks on a long-term basis. The protocols described below should be considered as general guidelines because although many phages and bacterial strains can be propagated and stored in these conditions, specific media and/or growth and storage conditions must be evaluated for each phage and bacterium. Since it was not the scope of this chapter to provide an exhaustive list of these particular conditions, we instead highlighted the main factors affecting phage amplification and storage. We hope this will help phage biologists to develop their own strategies for their preferred phages.

The same holds true in the context of reactive intermediates and is of particular interest when a collection of such species is to be maintained. The aim of this chapter is to provide chemists with general procedures to prepare and maintain compound stocks on a long-term basis. The protocols described below should be considered as general guidelines because although many compounds and reagents can be stabilized and stored under these conditions, specific solvents and/or storage conditions must be evaluated for each chemical species. Since it was not the scope of this chapter to provide an exhaustive list of these particular conditions, we instead highlighted the main factors affecting compound stability and storage. We hope this will help chemists to develop their own strategies for their preferred compounds.

We introduce an open-ended test grounded in algorithmic probability that can avoid benchmark contamination in the quantitative evaluation of frontier models in the context of their Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) and Superintelligence (ASI) claims. Unlike other tests, this test does not rely on statistical compression methods (such as GZIP or LZW), which are more closely related to Shannon entropy than to Kolmogorov complexity and are not able to test beyond simple pattern matching. The test challenges aspects of AI, in particular LLMs, related to features of intelligence of fundamental nature such as synthesis and model creation in the context of inverse problems (generating new knowledge from observation). We argue that metrics based on model abstraction and abduction (optimal Bayesian `inference') for predictive `planning' can provide a robust framework for testing intelligence, including natural intelligence (human and animal), narrow AI, AGI, and ASI. We found that LLM model versions tend to be fragile and incremental as a result of memorisation only with progress likely driven by the size of training data. The results were compared with a hybrid neurosymbolic approach that theoretically guarantees universal intelligence based on the principles of algorithmic probability and Kolmogorov complexity. The method outperforms LLMs in a proof-of-concept on short binary sequences. We prove that compression is equivalent and directly proportional to a system's predictive power and vice versa. That is, if a system can better predict it can better compress, and if it can better compress, then it can better predict. Our findings strengthen the suspicion regarding the fundamental limitations of LLMs, exposing them as systems optimised for the perception of mastery over human language.

We introduce an open-ended assessment grounded in algorithmic probability that can avoid market distortion in the quantitative evaluation of frontier economic models in the context of their claims to general and superintelligent economic forecasting. Unlike other assessments, this test does not rely on traditional econometric compression techniques (such as principal component analysis or autoregressive models), which are more closely related to information entropy than to algorithmic complexity and are not able to evaluate beyond simple pattern recognition in economic data. The assessment challenges aspects of economic modeling, particularly in large-scale predictive systems, related to features of economic intelligence of fundamental nature such as synthesis and model creation in the context of inverse problems (generating new economic insights from observed data). We argue that metrics based on model abstraction and abduction (optimal Bayesian inference) for predictive planning can provide a robust framework for testing economic intelligence, including human decision-making, narrow economic AI, and more general economic forecasting systems. We found that versions of large-scale economic models tend to be fragile and incremental as a result of overfitting to historical data, with progress likely driven by the size of available datasets. The results were compared with a hybrid symbolic-numeric approach that theoretically guarantees universal economic intelligence based on the principles of algorithmic probability and Kolmogorov complexity. The method outperforms traditional large-scale models in a proof-of-concept on short financial time series. We prove that data compression is equivalent and directly proportional to a system's predictive power and vice versa. That is, if a system can better predict, it can better compress economic data, and if it can better compress, then it can better predict. Our findings strengthen the suspicion regarding the fundamental limitations of large-scale economic models, exposing them as systems optimized for the appearance of mastery over economic language and data.

We introduce an open-ended assay grounded in algorithmic probability that can avoid assay contamination in the quantitative evaluation of advanced signaling networks in the context of their claims to cellular general intelligence and superintelligence. Unlike other assays, this assay does not rely on statistical compression methods (such as GZIP or LZW), which are more closely related to Shannon entropy than to Kolmogorov complexity and are not able to test beyond simple motif recognition. The assay challenges aspects of signaling networks, in particular large-scale regulatory modules, related to features of cellular intelligence of fundamental nature such as synthesis and pathway creation in the context of inverse problems (generating new regulatory mechanisms from observation). We argue that metrics based on pathway abstraction and abduction (optimal Bayesian inference) for predictive regulation can provide a robust framework for testing signaling intelligence, including natural cellular intelligence, engineered circuits, general signaling networks, and superintelligent regulatory systems. We found that versions of large-scale regulatory modules tend to be fragile and incremental as a result of memorization only, with progress likely driven by the size of input data.

It is known that the exact neurons maintaining a given memory (the neural ensemble) change from trial to trial. This raises the question of how the brain achieves stability in the face of this representational drift. Here, we demonstrate that this stability emerges at the level of the electric fields that arise from neural activity. We show that electric fields carry information about working memory content. The electric fields, in turn, can act as "guard rails" that funnel higher dimensional variable neural activity along stable lower dimensional routes. We obtained the latent space associated with each memory. We then confirmed the stability of the electric field by mapping the latent space to different cortical patches (that comprise a neural ensemble) and reconstructing information flow between patches. Stable electric fields can allow latent states to be transferred between brain areas, in accord with modern engram theory.

Benjamin Bratton's most influential and widely recognized contribution is "The Stack: On Software and Sovereignty," a monumental work that redefines our understanding of global computation as an emergent geopolitical architecture. This theory provides a crucial framework for analyzing the complex interdependencies of technology, infrastructure, and power in the 21st century. Published by MIT Press in 2015, The Stack is presented as a comprehensive political and design theory of planetary-scale computation.1 At over 500 pages, it is frequently described as a "dense tome".5 Bratton posits that disparate computational genres—such as smart grids, cloud platforms, mobile apps, smart cities, the Internet of Things, and automation—do not evolve independently but instead form a coherent, "accidental megastructure" he terms "The Stack".5 The core argument is threefold: computation is not merely algorithmic calculation or a genre of tool, but a global infrastructure that now not only relays information but is the primary source of its generation and mediation.2 This planetary computation distorts and reforms modern Westphalian political geography, producing new forms of territory over which sovereignty is contested.2 Finally, The Stack should be seen not as a single undifferentiated mega-machine but as an "accidental megastructure" comprised of modular, functionally defined layers, analogous to a software/hardware protocol stack.2 Bratton identifies six interconnected layers, each with its own contested affordances and integral accidents.2 These layers are: Earth Layer: This layer represents the physical foundation of computation, encompassing the material and energy resources (minerals, fossil fuels) required for computational processes, as well as the electronic waste produced. It constitutes the fundamental building blocks of the global digital stack.2 Bratton also provocatively posits the Earth itself as a "calculation machine".18 Cloud Layer: This refers to global, often corporate, technology services (e.g., Google) that exert a form of "weird sovereignty".21 City Layer: This layer represents the lived experience of physically interacting with the global computer network in daily life, frequently discussed in relation to the concept of smart cities.21 Address Layer: This pertains to the identification systems for individual users and objects, and its utilization for management and control within the computational megastructure.21 Interface Layer: This describes the various means and mechanisms through which users are connected to computational systems.21 User Layer: This comprises the actual human (and non-human) entities that interact with computers and computational systems.21

Benjamin Bratton's most influential and widely recognized contribution is "The Stack: On Markets and Sovereignty," a monumental work that redefines our understanding of global economic integration as an emergent geopolitical architecture. This theory provides a crucial framework for analyzing the complex interdependencies of markets, infrastructure, and power in the 21st century. Published by MIT Press in 2015, The Stack is presented as a comprehensive political and economic theory of planetary-scale market integration. At over 500 pages, it is frequently described as a "dense tome". Bratton posits that disparate economic sectors—such as financial markets, global supply chains, digital platforms, urban economies, the sharing economy, and automation—do not evolve independently but instead form a coherent, "accidental megastructure" he terms "The Stack". The core argument is threefold: economic activity is not merely transactional exchange or a genre of resource allocation, but a global infrastructure that now not only facilitates trade but is the primary source of its generation and mediation. This planetary economic integration distorts and reforms modern Westphalian political geography, producing new forms of territory over which sovereignty is contested. Finally, The Stack should be seen not as a single undifferentiated mega-market but as an "accidental megastructure" comprised of modular, functionally defined layers, analogous to vertically integrated economic systems. Bratton identifies six interconnected layers, each with its own contested affordances and integral market failures. These layers are: Resource Layer: This layer represents the physical foundation of economic activity, encompassing the material and energy resources (minerals, fossil fuels, commodities) required for production processes, as well as the environmental externalities produced. It constitutes the fundamental building blocks of the global economic stack. Bratton also provocatively posits the Earth itself as a "value-generating machine". Financial Layer: This refers to global, often corporate, financial institutions and markets (e.g., Wall Street, multinational banks) that exert a form of "weird sovereignty". Urban Layer: This layer represents the lived experience of physically interacting with the global economic network in daily life, frequently discussed in relation to the concept of urban agglomeration economies and smart urbanism. Identity Layer: This pertains to the identification systems for individual economic agents and assets, and their utilization for management, surveillance, and control within the economic megastructure. Market Interface Layer: This describes the various means and mechanisms through which economic agents are connected to markets, including digital platforms, exchanges, and transaction systems. Agent Layer: This comprises the actual human (and non-human, algorithmic) entities that participate in economic transactions and interactions within global markets.

This theory provides a crucial framework for analyzing the complex interdependencies of energy, infrastructure, and power in the 21st century. Published by MIT Press in 2015, The Stack is presented as a comprehensive theoretical and structural analysis of planetary-scale physical interactions. At over 500 pages, it is frequently described as a "dense tome". Bratton posits that disparate physical phenomena—such as electromagnetic fields, gravitational interactions, quantum entanglement, thermodynamic processes, particle interactions, and cosmological structures—do not evolve independently but instead form a coherent, "accidental megastructure" he terms "The Stack". The core argument is threefold: physical interaction is not merely isolated force exchange or a genre of mechanism, but a global infrastructure that now not only transmits energy and information but is the primary source of their generation and mediation. This planetary-scale physical interaction distorts and reforms classical Newtonian spatial geography, producing new forms of spatial domains over which sovereignty (control of physical laws and conditions) is contested. Finally, The Stack should be seen not as a single undifferentiated mega-machine but as an "accidental megastructure" comprised of modular, functionally defined layers, analogous to a physical interaction hierarchy. Bratton identifies six interconnected layers, each with its own contested affordances and integral accidents. These layers are: Fundamental Layer: This layer represents the physical foundation of interactions, encompassing the elementary particles, fundamental forces, and energy resources required for physical processes, as well as the entropy and waste heat produced. It constitutes the fundamental building blocks of the global physical stack. Bratton also provocatively posits the Universe itself as a "computational machine". Field Layer: This refers to global, often emergent, field interactions (e.g., electromagnetic and gravitational fields) that exert a form of "nonlocal sovereignty". Locality Layer: This layer represents the lived experience of physically interacting with global physical fields in daily life, frequently discussed in relation to the concept of local reference frames and inertial systems. Coordinate Layer: This pertains to the identification and measurement systems for individual particles and objects, and their utilization for management and control within the physical megastructure.

Philosophical discussion on control has largely centred around control over our actions and beliefs. Yet this overlooks the question of whether we also have control over the reasons for which we act and believe. To date, the overriding assumption appears to be that we do not, and with seemingly good reason. We cannot choose to act for a reason and acting-for-a-reason is not itself something we do. While some have challenged this in the case of reasons for action, these claims seem especially untenable regarding believing for a reason. And extending the scope of control in this way also faces the threat of regress. In the face of this orthodoxy, the present paper argues thatwe do in fact have control over both believing and acting for a particular reason. It also starts to develop an account of the way in which this would be possible. Given the broad importance of understanding control and agency, this paper bears on a number of topics in epistemology, the philosophy of mind, and ethics.

Developmental biology

Theoretical discussion on developmental control has largely centered around control over morphogenetic events and cellular differentiation. Yet this overlooks the question of whether cells also have control over the developmental signals for which they differentiate and morphologically respond. To date, the overriding assumption appears to be that they do not, and with seemingly good reason. Cells cannot choose to respond to a developmental signal, and responding-to-a-signal is not itself something cells actively control. While some have challenged this in the case of signals for morphogenesis, these claims seem especially untenable regarding differentiation signals. Extending the scope of cellular control in this way also faces the threat of regress. In the face of this orthodoxy, the present paper argues that cells do in fact have control over both differentiating and morphologically responding for a particular developmental signal. It also starts to develop an account of the way in which this would be possible. Given the broad importance of understanding cellular control and developmental agency, this paper bears on a number of topics in developmental signaling, morphogenesis, and developmental plasticity.

What is the status of research on implicit bias? In light ofmeta-analyses revealing ostensibly low average correlations between implicit measures and behavior, as well as various other psychometric concerns, criticism has become ubiquitous.We argue that while there are significant challenges and ample room for improvement, research on the causes, psychological properties, and behavioral effects of implicit bias continues to deserve a role in the sciences of the mind as well as in efforts to understand, and ultimately combat, discrimination and inequality.

What is the status of research on cryptic developmental biases? In light of meta-analyses revealing ostensibly low average correlations between cryptic developmental markers and morphogenetic outcomes, as well as various other methodological concerns, criticism has become ubiquitous. We argue that while there are significant challenges and ample room for improvement, research on the origins, molecular properties, and morphogenetic consequences of cryptic developmental biases continues to deserve a role in developmental biology, as well as in efforts to understand, and ultimately mitigate, developmental anomalies and phenotypic variability.

Broadcast journalists are more concise than their newspaper colleagues. ey have to be. e printout of a half-hour news broadcast would fill only a page or two in the newspaper. A broadcast lead cannot include all 5 Ws and the H discussed in Chapter 2 — it would be too long and too hard to follow. Instead, a broadcast writer will select the two or three most significant points to use in the lead, and put the rest in the sentence that follows. Broadcast stories also tend to leave out some details, such as ages and addresses, which are routinely found in print. Broadcasters write shorter sentences so they can read them aloud without running out of breath.

Developmental biology

Developmental signaling pathways are more concise than their transcriptional counterparts. They must be. The molecular output of a brief signaling event would occupy only a small fraction of the transcriptional landscape. A signaling cascade cannot encode all spatial, temporal, and molecular details simultaneously—it would be overly complex and difficult to interpret. Instead, developmental signaling selects two or three critical molecular cues to initiate morphogenesis, with additional details provided by subsequent downstream signals. Signaling pathways also typically omit certain specifics, such as exact cellular positions or precise developmental timings, which are routinely encoded in transcriptional profiles. Developmental signals utilize shorter, discrete molecular interactions to ensure rapid and efficient communication between cells.

It is known that the exact neurons maintaining a given memory (the neural ensemble) change from trial to trial. This raises the question of how the brain achieves stability in the face of this representational drift. Here, we demonstrate that this stability emerges at the level of the electric fields that arise from neural activity. We show that electric fields carry information about working memory content. The electric fields, in turn, can act as "guard rails" that funnel higher dimensional variable neural activity along stable lower dimensional routes. We obtained the latent space associated with each memory. We then confirmed the stability of the electric field by mapping the latent space to different cortical patches (that comprise a neural ensemble) and reconstructing information flow between patches. Stable electric fields can allow latent states to be transferred between brain areas, in accord with modern engram theory.

It is known that the specific cognitive representations underlying a given memory (the mental schema) shift from instance to instance. This raises the question of how the mind maintains stability despite this representational drift. Here, we demonstrate that this stability emerges at the level of cognitive schemas formed by patterns of mental activity. We show that these schemas carry information about working memory content. The schemas, in turn, function as "guard rails" that guide variable, high-dimensional cognitive processes along stable, lower-dimensional pathways. We identified the latent cognitive space associated with each memory. We then confirmed schema stability by mapping this latent space onto different cognitive domains (comprising a mental schema) and reconstructing information flow between domains. Stable cognitive schemas can facilitate the transfer of latent mental states across psychological domains, consistent with contemporary schema theory.

(B) Cognitive patterns arean evolutionary pivot of the collective intelligence of cells;given this symmetry between neuroscience and developmental biology, I propose that the relationship between mind and brain is the same as the relationship between mathematical patterns and the morphogenetic outcomes they guide. (C) Many mathematicians, and a non-mysterian approach to science in general, suggest that these patterns are not random facts to bemerely cataloged as “emergence” when found, but rather can be systematically discovered within a structured, ordered (non-physical) space. Therefore, I hypothesize that:(1)instances of embodied cognition likewise ingress from a Platonic space, which contains not only low-agency patterns like facts about triangles and prime numbers, but also higheragency ones such as kinds of minds; (2)we take seriously for developmental, synthetic, and behavioral biologythe kindsof non-physicalist ideas that are already a staple of Platonist mathematics;(3) what evolution (and bioengineering, and possiblyAI) produces are pointers into that Platonic space –physical interfacesthat enable the ingression of specific patternsof body and mind.This provides a new perspective on the organicist/mechanist debate by explaining why traditional computationalist views of life and mind are insufficient, while at the same time erasing artificial distinctions between life and machine, since both are in-formed by diverse patterns from the latent space.

A scientific hypothesis generator that exploits these powerful truths

Emphasizing the principles of continuity and pragmatism, and using hypothesis generation as a tractable model system in which to develop these ideas, I explore the implications of the following ideas: (A) Scientific discovery favors hypothesis generators that exploit powerful truths of mathematics and computation as affordances, which contribute as causes of novel and explanatory hypotheses. (B) Conceptual patterns are a pivotal axis of the collective intelligence of scientific communities; given this symmetry between mathematical structure and hypothesis generation, I propose that the relationship between abstract mathematical truths and generated hypotheses is analogous to the relationship between mathematical patterns and the scientific outcomes they guide. (C) Many mathematicians, and a non-mysterian approach to science in general, suggest that these patterns are not random facts to be merely cataloged as "emergence" when found, but rather can be systematically discovered within a structured, ordered (non-physical) space. Therefore, I hypothesize that: (1) instances of scientific insight likewise ingress from a Platonic space, which contains not only low-agency patterns like facts about triangles and prime numbers, but also higher-agency ones such as classes of explanatory hypotheses; (2) we take seriously for hypothesis generation and scientific discovery the kinds of non-physicalist ideas that are already a staple of Platonist mathematics; (3) what scientific inquiry (and computational modeling, and possibly AI-driven discovery) produces are pointers into that Platonic space—conceptual interfaces that enable the ingression of specific patterns of explanatory hypotheses. This provides a new perspective on the rationalist/empiricist debate by explaining why traditional computationalist views of scientific discovery are insufficient, while at the same time erasing artificial distinctions between human and machine-generated hypotheses, since both are informed by diverse patterns from the latent space. I sketch a research program, already begun, of using the tools of computational hypothesis generation and diverse intelligence to map out key regions of the Platonic space. Understanding the mapping between the architecture of hypothesis-generating systems and the patterns to which they point has massive implications for scientific methodology, computational discovery, AI-driven science, and the ethics of collaboration with the forthcoming immense diversity of scientifically important conceptual agents.

Our unsupervised approach translates any embedding to and from a universal latent representation (i.e., a universal semantic structure conjectured by the Platonic Representation Hypothesis). Our translations achieve high cosine similarity across model pairs with different architectures, parameter counts, and training datasets. The ability to translate unknown embeddings into a different space while preserving their geometry has serious implications for the security of vector databases. An adversary with access only to embedding vectors can extract sensitive information about the underlying documents, sufficient for classification and attribute inference.

We introduce the first method for mapping neural representations from one neural state space to another without any paired neural recordings, explicit encoding models, or predefined neuronal correspondences. Our unsupervised approach translates any neural activity pattern to and from a universal latent representation (i.e., a universal neural code structure conjectured by the Neural Representation Hypothesis). Our translations achieve high representational similarity across neural populations with different circuit architectures, neuron counts, and training experiences. The ability to translate unknown neural activity patterns into a different neural representation space while preserving their geometry has serious implications for the security of neural decoding methods. An adversary with access only to neural activity patterns can extract sensitive information about underlying cognitive states, sufficient for decoding intentions and inferring perceptual attributes.

We introduce the first method for translating cellular bioelectric states from one morphogenetic space to another without any paired data, signaling pathways, or predefined sets of correspondences. Our unsupervised approach translates any bioelectric pattern to and from a universal latent representation (i.e., a universal morphogenetic structure conjectured by the Platonic Morphospace Hypothesis). Our translations achieve high similarity across tissue pairs with different architectures, cell numbers, and developmental histories. The ability to translate unknown bioelectric patterns into a different morphogenetic context while preserving their spatial geometry has significant implications for the robustness of developmental patterning. An external perturbation with access only to bioelectric states could extract critical information about underlying gene expression patterns, sufficient for phenotype classification and developmental fate inference.

It is known that the exact neurons maintaining a given memory (the neural ensemble) change from trial to trial. This raises the question of how the brain achieves stability in the face of this representational drift. Here, we demonstrate that this stability emerges at the level of the electric fields that arise from neural activity. We show that electric fields carry information about working memory content. The electric fields, in turn, can act as "guard rails" that funnel higher dimensional variable neural activity along stable lower dimensional routes. We obtained the latent space associated with each memory. We then confirmed the stability of the electric field by mapping the latent space to different cortical patches (that comprise a neural ensemble) and reconstructing information flow between patches. Stable electric fields can allow latent states to be transferred between brain areas, in accord with modern engram theory.

Significance Specific changes in one region can influence the activity throughout the entire brain, a phenomenon known as diaschisis. This study combines advanced imaging techniques and personalized brain simulations in mice to investigate how targeted brain interventions, such as lesions or temporary silencing of certain regions, reshape global brain connectivity. The findings provide insights into why some interventions lead to reduced connectivity (hypoconnectivity) while others result in increased connectivity (hyperconnectivity), as observed in the literature. By elucidating the mechanisms underlying diaschisis, this work establishes a framework for understanding the widespread effects of localized brain injuries or interventions and for developing more precise therapeutic strategies that address brain dynamics across multiple scales.

The resting human brain, characterized by intrinsic or spontaneous brain activities, has been increasingly understood from a connectome perspective over the past two decades1,2,3. The emergence, development and aging of the intrinsic connectome architecture enables the dynamic reorganization of functional specialization and integration throughout the lifespan, contributing to continuous changes in human cognition and behavior4,5. Understanding the spatiotemporal growth process of the typical functional connectome is critical for elucidating network-level developmental principles in healthy individuals and for pinpointing periods of heightened vulnerability or potential. Disruption of these normative connectome patterns, especially during specific time windows, can predispose individuals to a spectrum of neurodevelopmental6, neurodegenerative7 and psychiatric disorders8,9.

It is known that the specific computational nodes maintaining a given data representation (the computational ensemble) vary from execution to execution. This raises the question of how computational systems achieve stability despite this representational drift. Here, we demonstrate that this stability emerges at the level of electromagnetic fields generated by computational activity. We show that electromagnetic fields encode information about active memory states. These fields, in turn, function as "guard rails" that constrain higher-dimensional variable computational activity along stable lower-dimensional trajectories. We derived the latent space associated with each memory representation. We then confirmed the stability of the electromagnetic field by mapping the latent space onto different computational modules (comprising a computational ensemble) and reconstructing information flow between modules. Stable electromagnetic fields can facilitate the transfer of latent states between computational units, consistent with contemporary distributed memory architectures.

It is known that the exact neurons maintaining a given memory (the neural ensemble) change from trial to trial. This raises the question of how the brain achieves stability in the face of this representational drift. Here, we demonstrate that this stability emerges at the level of the electric fields that arise from neural activity. We show that electric fields carry information about working memory content. The electric fields, in turn, can act as "guard rails" that funnel higher dimensional variable neural activity along stable lower dimensional routes. We obtained the latent space associated with each memory. We then confirmed the stability of the electric field by mapping the latent space to different cortical patches (that comprise a neural ensemble) and reconstructing information flow between patches. Stable electric fields can allow latent states to be transferred between brain areas, in accord with modern engram theory.

It is known that the exact firms maintaining a given market position (the economic ensemble) change from period to period. This raises the question of how the economy achieves stability in the face of this representational drift. Here, we demonstrate that this stability emerges at the level of the financial flows that arise from economic activity. We show that financial flows carry information about market dynamics. The financial flows, in turn, can act as "guard rails" that funnel higher dimensional variable economic activity along stable lower dimensional routes. We obtained the latent space associated with each market position. We then confirmed the stability of the financial flow by mapping the latent space to different market sectors (that comprise an economic ensemble) and reconstructing information flow between sectors. Stable financial flows can allow latent states to be transferred between economic areas, in accord with modern market theory.
