Framing novelty in crowdfunding: Which words win support, where, and at what stakes
Abstract Research Summary We examine how promotional language (“hype”) in reward‐based crowdfunding is associated with campaign success, and whether those associations vary across sector contexts and with campaign execution burden. Using dictionary‐based text measures from 635 U.S. Kickstarter campaigns across five sectors, we distinguish three novelty‐

Shaping expectations, losing flexibility: A study of CEO promises as strategic communication tools
Abstract Research Summary CEO promises are powerful but understudied communication tools. We develop a dual‐mechanism framework theorizing that while CEO promises elevate stakeholder expectations, they simultaneously constrain strategic flexibility. We argue that CEO promise‐making is shaped by two competing pressures: making more promises when the ...

Metaverse and Artificial Intelligence as Web 4.0: The Next Generation of the Internet
ABSTRACT This study utilizes systems thinking to explore and entwine an evolving metaverse scholarship to a relatively underexplored phenomenon of Web 4.0. We adopt a soft systems thinking framework to guide the interpretation of complex and evolving metaverse scholarship, using bibliometric mapping of 5587 publications sourced from Scopus.

Information Dynamics and Learning in Complex Adaptive Systems: Toward a Transdisciplinary Framework
ABSTRACT This article develops a framework for understanding learning and adaptation in complex adaptive systems. Drawing from neuroscience, systems theory, information theory and quantum field theory, it examines how information processing, plasticity and systemic coherence emerge from distributed, nonlinear and feedback‐driven interactions. It argues

What Program for Love in the 21st Century? Thinking With and Beyond Luhmann
ABSTRACT From a sociological perspective, the paper examines how normative frameworks for intimate relationships have changed since the publication of Luhmann's Love as Passion (1982). Building on Luhmann's notion of a program for love, we discuss his claim that late 20th century love semantics were organized around a program of understanding. We argue

Unrestricted inquisitive semantics and discourse coherence
Within the framework of inquisitive semantics, we investigate the semantic prerequisites of an account of discourse coherence. In inquisitive semantics two views on meaning exist. Basic inquisitive semantics, InqB, follows from the view that to utter a sentence is to provide and request information (Roelofsen, 2011). Unrestricted inquisitive semantics,

Two strong undefinability results in inquisitive and team semantics
We prove two (strong) undefinability results for logics based on inquisitive semantics (or its variant, team semantics). Namely: 1) we show the undefinability of intuitionistic implication in extended propositional inquisitive logic with tensor; 2) we show the undefinability of global disjunction in extended propositional dependence logic.
