Do Sunspot Cycles Causally Affect Social Tensions and Population Harm in Developing Countries?

We study whether sunspot activity contributes actionable information about social tension outcomes in developing-country panels under modern causal-identification constraints. Buil…

Curiosity-Conditioned Goal-Optimal Reinforcement Learning

Goal-conditioned reinforcement learning often faces a practical tension: intrinsic novelty bonuses accelerate discovery in sparse and deceptive environments, but poorly controlled…

Conditional Constrained Routing and Metric Bridging for SymbolicAI Workflows Under CPU-Only Budgets

Modular language-agent systems increasingly combine large language models, tool calls, and symbolic operators, but objective design and evaluation practice remain misaligned: traje…

Entropy-Aware Memory Systems for Continual Learning: Balancing Neuroplasticity and Stability Under Stochastic Workloads

Continual learning systems are increasingly limited by memory behavior rather than arithmetic throughput: the same memory substrate must support stable recall and adaptive updates…

Material Signatures for Antineutrino-Based Detectability of Covert Fissile Production in Fusion Reactors

Antineutrino monitoring is a promising route for early safeguards signals, but fusion-adjacent deployment requires robustness to prior disagreement, detector nuisance variability,…

Inner-Shell Raman X-Gate Tradeoffs for a Neutral ^171Yb Nuclear Qubit at Fixed Optical Power

We study single-qubit X-gate feasibility for a ^171Yb nuclear-spin qubit encoded in the ^3P_0(F=1/2) manifold and driven by Raman coupling through an inner-shell-excited J=2 interm…

Dual-Timescale Task-Agnostic Activations for Continual Learning: Stability Guarantees and Boundary-Case Evidence

Continual learning systems are increasingly deployed in settings where data distributions evolve while labels, environments, and downstream requirements remain nonstationary. In th…

Stability-Aware Bilevel Source Dataset Selection for Importance-Weighted Least Squares in Unsupervised Domain Adaptation

Importance-weighted least squares (IWLS) is widely used to correct covariate shift in unsupervised domain adaptation, yet most prior work assumes that an appropriate source dataset…
