Imagining the Nation in the 21st Century

Nations and Nationalism, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper investigates how our imagining of the nation has evolved from the 1600s to this day. Reviewing the well‐known analysis of Benedict Anderson, this paper carries the argument further, investigating how our imagining of our national communities has changed alongside sociopolitical, economic and technological transformations.

Alignment of the Starlings: Learning With Generative AI

Future Humanities, Volume 4, Issue 1, May 2026.
ABSTRACT I will argue that answers to normative questions concerning the place of generative AI in learning rest on answers to ontological questions regarding (1) precisely what is happening when a human ‘interacts’ with generative AI and (2) What is distinctive about organic learning as opposed to currently existing ‘machine learning’ (3) What is the ...

Cosmological Constant or Cosmological Potential

, 2000
In the framework of a model of minimal of dilatonic gravity (MDG) with cosmological potential we consider: the relations of MDG with nonlinear gravity and string theory; natural cosmological units, defined by cosmological constant; the properties of cosmological factor, derived from solar system and Earth-surface gravitational experiments; universal ...

Generating Stable and Metastable Critical Points in Uncertain Systems via Flow‐Based Models

Expert Systems, Volume 43, Issue 3, March 2026.
ABSTRACT This work proposes the use of conditional flow‐based generative models to learn an approximation of the distribution of the critical points of a cost function. This approximation is used to incrementally identify all critical points, in the feasible domain of said function, by iteratively alternating the sampling of the distribution and the ...

Cosmological constant from canonical transformation in quantum cosmology

Nuclear Physics B
We explore the introduction of the cosmological constant via canonical transformations in cosmology. We consider the Wheeler-DeWitt equation for the cold dark matter (CDM) universe and we construct the Hamilton-Jacobi action for the ΛCDM model, where Λ ...

“Seen Again”: Ethnography, Immersive Technologies, and Temporality in the Siberian Collections at the Pitt Rivers Museum

Museum Anthropology, Volume 49, Issue 1, Spring 2026.
ABSTRACT This paper proposes Virtual Reality (VR) and 360 film as promising fieldwork tools for addressing problematic temporalities in ethnographic museums and for collaborating with communities of origin. Focusing on the Maria Czaplicka Siberian collections at the Pitt Rivers Museum, Oxford, we examine how previous methods of display marginalized the
