Impact of Geography on Institutions in Agricultural and Nomadic Societies

International Studies of Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT How geography affects the choice of institutions is studied in a theoretical model. In this model, nations are located around a circle. Rulers compete through choosing tax rates, the level of military spending, and the degree of formality of institutions. Geographic condition is captured by population density.

The Alignment Risks of AI Overconfidence about Consciousness

Journal of Applied Philosophy, EarlyView.

Legacy and the Politics of Racial Terminology

Journal of Applied Philosophy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT When a term carries a sordid past, it is tempting to think it should have no future use. Yet the normative life of a word is rarely exhausted by its origins. This article develops legacy analysis as a method for enriching evaluation of what should be done with historically burdened terms. Rather than treating origins as decisive, the framework

Multimode Phonon Lasing via Self‐Induced Optical Coherent Pumping

Laser &Photonics Reviews, EarlyView.
A silicon optomechanical nanobeam generates self‐sustained phonon lasing in multiple competing mechanical modes via self‐pulsing, an intrinsic optical modulation arising from cavity nonlinearity. This self‐organized mechanism enables robust multi‐frequency operation spanning periodic, quasi‐periodic, and chaotic regimes without external modulation. The
