Exiled From Their Own Lands: Indigenist Policies, Oil, and Colonial Plunder in 20th Century Venezuela

open access: yesThe Journal of Latin American and Caribbean Anthropology, Volume 31, Issue 2, June 2026.
ABSTRACT This article examines the historical displacement of Indigenous peoples in Venezuela, focusing on the links between indigenist policies and the exploitation of natural resources, particularly oil, throughout the 20th century. Using a combined historical and ethnographic approach, it demonstrates how the formation of the Venezuelan nation‐state

A STRING SCENARIO FOR INFLATIONARY COSMOLOGY [PDF]

open access: yesModern Physics Letters A, 1995
We describe a scenario for inflation in the framework of noncritical string theory, which does not employ an inflaton field. There is an exponential expansion of the volume of the Universe, induced by enormous entropy production in the early stages of cosmological evolution.

A semi-classical model of regular inflationary cosmology

open access: yes, 2021
International audienceQuantum-effective gravity must lead to a regularized cosmology and thereby by itself source and regulate the high energy inflaton fields required for an appropriate inflationary beginning of the Universe.

Inflationary f (R) Cosmologies [PDF]

open access: yesUniverse, 2017
This paper discusses a simple procedure to reconstruct f ( R ) -gravity models from exact cosmological solutions of the Einstein field equations with a non-interacting classical scalar field-and-radiation background. From the type of inflationary scenario we are interested in, we show how the potential functions can be obtained. We then show how

A New Hilbert's Hotel Argument Against Past‐Eternalism

open access: yesAnalytic Philosophy, Volume 67, Issue 2, Page 145-153, June 2026.
ABSTRACT This paper offers a new formulation of the “Hilbert's Hotel Argument” (HHA) which is superior to existing formulations because it (1) demonstrates that HH is logically impossible in the concrete world, (2) takes into account the need to consider the assumptions of HHA, and (3) offers a reply to an important objection concerning the validity of

Alignment of the Starlings: Learning With Generative AI

open access: yesFuture 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 ...

Pulsar timing array observations as possible hints for nonsingular cosmology

open access: yesEuropean Physical Journal C: Particles and Fields, 2023
Recent pulsar timing array (PTA) experiments have reported strong evidence of the stochastic gravitational wave background (SGWB). If interpreted as primordial gravitational waves (GWs), the signal favors a strongly blue-tilted spectrum.

The Warm Inflation Story

open access: yesUniverse, 2023
Warm inflation has normalized two ideas in cosmology, that in the early universe the initial primordial density perturbations generally could be of classical rather than quantum origin and that during inflation, particle production from interactions ...

Mind and Cosmos as Throughput Systems: A Convergence Through the Throughput Model

open access: yesSystems Research and Behavioral Science, Volume 43, Issue 3, Page 1212-1228, May/June 2026.
ABSTRACT This paper advances a conceptual and mathematical foundations approach by applying the throughput model (TPM) to cosmic phenomena, reframing the universe as an extended information processing system. TPM's four stages, Perception, Information, Judgement and Decision Choice, are reformulated in explicit information‐theoretic and dynamical ...
