This paper asks whether a control-theoretic…

Listen to the session or watch below The “censorship-industrial complex” is an idea that a network of government, tech, and research groups is collaborating to suppress conservative online speech. This was fodder for the right-wing information sphere for years—then it began making its way into US policy. Watch a conversation exploring how it started, where…
arXiv:2608.11215v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Simulating societies of many large language model (LLM) agents is expensive, yet the questions asked of such simulations are usually macroscopic: phase behaviour, stylised facts, and scaling with the number of agents $N$, not the cognition of any single agent. We turn a statistical-physics observation into a method: replace each…
arXiv:2608.11212v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Top-k Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) routing is discontinuous, so a deployment-motivated numerical disturbance -- simulated 4-bit KV-cache quantization read by a protected BF16 gate -- pushes tokens across decision boundaries and flips which experts fire. This paper proposes no new mitigation; it supplies a causal apparatus, empirical findings, and a detection-limit result.…
arXiv:2608.11211v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Conway's 99-graph problem asks whether a strongly regular graph with parameters $mathrm{srg}(99,14,1,2)$ exists. We report a systematic, fully reproducible attack by an autonomous AI research agent, scored under the track's partial-credit metric. Our verifiable contributions are: (1) an exhaustive proof that no circulant graph on $mathbb{Z}/99$ satisfies more than $3366/4950=68.0%$…
arXiv:2608.11210v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Bayesian calibration of process-based models requires a prior distribution for each model parameter. Despite decades of methodological work, researchers almost always fall back on uniform priors. The main reason is that building informative priors from scientific literature is slow and needs both domain and statistical expertise. We present textbf{Distribird}, an…
Quantum computing has alternated between breakthrough darling and overhyped promise in technology circles. Its powerful new capabilities come with a threat to break current cryptography, but for business leaders navigating the noise, the signal should be clear: post-quantum cryptography (PQC) is a manageable evolution, not a crisis. The mathematics behind today’s encrypted digital transactions may…
