What Program for Love in the 21st Century? Thinking With and Beyond Luhmann
Systems Research and Behavioral Science, EarlyView.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

Generative AI—the Transgression of Technology
Systems Research and Behavioral Science, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This article offers a systems‐theoretical analysis of generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) grounded in Niklas Luhmann's sociology of technology. It addresses a central conceptual problem: How GenAI can be understood within a theoretical framework that has traditionally defined technology as a means of stabilising action through causal ...

The complexity of semidefinite programs for testing $k$-block-positivity
We extend \cite{chen2025srkbp} by analyzing the complexity of the $k$-block-positivity testing algorithm. In this paper, we investigate a symmetry reduction scheme based on rectangular shaped Young diagrams. Connecting the complexity to the dimensions of

Systems Research and Behavioral Science, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Our theory of education, based on a systemic understanding of the subjective and intersubjective construction of knowledge, is that students are motivated to study what is most meaningful to them. Meaningfulness is grounded in the students' prior experiences, which are highly diverse.

An Outline of a Theory of Play
Symbolic Interaction, EarlyView.Play is often dismissed as trivial, yet it is a fundamental and adaptive aspect of human and mammalian life. This paper develops a sociological theory of play, treating it as a total social fact that spans biological, psychological, and social dimensions.

Non-orientable 3-manifolds of cubic-complexity one
We classify all closed non-orientable P2-irreducible 3- manifolds obtained by identifying the faces of a cube, i.e. those with cubic-complexity one.

Beyond Capital, Toward Resonance (We Are Not for Sale.)
TESOL Quarterly, EarlyView.Abstract In teaching English to speakers of other languages (TESOL) and language education, economic metaphors have helped educators resist deficit framings by naming the strengths individuals and communities bring to educational spaces. Yet, these same metaphors carry logics of possession, accumulation, and exchange that sit uneasily with commitments ...

Low complexity among principal fully irreducible elements of Out(F3)
We find the shortest realized stretch factor for a fully irreducible φ ∈ Out(F3) and show that it is realized by a “principal” fully irreducible element. We also show that it is the only principal fully irreducible outer automorphism in any rank produced

Zeitschrift für anorganische und allgemeine Chemie, EarlyView.La0.5Sr3.5Fe3O7.5F2.6, a rare n = 3 Ruddlesden–Popper oxyfluoride, exhibits robust antiferromagnetism across a wide temperature range from 1.7 to 470 K. Temperature‐dependent neutron diffraction reveals an orthorhombic nuclear and a monoclinic magnetic structure, while Mößbauer spectroscopy shows persistent short‐range magnetic order up to 525 K.
