Counting Degrees of Freedom: A Method Applicable From Scalars to f(Q)$f(\mathbb {Q})$ Gravity and Beyond

open access: yesFortschritte der Physik, Volume 74, Issue 6, June 2026.
ABSTRACT We present a clear, step‐by‐step method for counting degrees of freedom and identifying constraints in general field theories. This approach, grounded in the works of Einstein, Hilbert, Cartan, Kuranishi, and, more recently, Seiler, is neither Lagrangian nor Hamiltonian in nature. Instead, it applies directly to the field equations. We offer a

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 ...

Quantum Cosmology in Krylov Space: Complexity and Entropy

open access: yesEntropy
We study the quantum dynamics in Krylov space of a spatially flat, homogeneous, and isotropic universe sourced with a massless scalar field within Wheeler–DeWitt (WDW) quantum cosmology and loop quantum cosmology (LQC) frameworks.

Deforming the Double‐Scaled SYK and Reaching the Stretched Horizon From Finite Cutoff Holography

open access: yesFortschritte der Physik, Volume 74, Issue 5, May 2026.
ABSTRACT We study the properties of the double‐scaled SYK (DSSYK) model under chord Hamiltonian deformations based on finite cutoff holography for general dilaton gravity theories with Dirichlet boundaries. The formalism immediately incorporates a lower‐dimensional analog of TT¯(+Λ2)$\text{T}\overline{\text{T}}(+\Lambda _2)$ deformations, denoted T2 ...

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 ...

Gravity's rainbow: A bridge between LQC and DSR

open access: yesPhysics Letters B, 2017
The doubly special relativity (DSR) theories are constructed in order to take into account an observer-independent length scale in special relativity framework. Gravity's rainbow is a simple generalization of DSR theories to incorporate gravity.

A Possible Solution to the Mystery of the ANITA Anomalous Events

open access: yesAnnalen der Physik, Volume 538, Issue 4, April 2026.
In 2006 and 2014, the Antarctic Impulsive Transient Antenna (ANITA), a balloon‐borne radio observatory flying over Antarctica, detected two strange upward‐going radio pulse events that have not yet been explained by our current understanding of physics.

Quantum cosmology from quantum gravity condensates: cosmological variables and lattice-refined dynamics

open access: yesNew Journal of Physics, 2014
In the context of group field theory condensate cosmology, we clarify the extraction of cosmological variables from the microscopic quantum gravity degrees of freedom.

Universal Entanglement and an Information‐Complete Quantum Theory

open access: yesAdvanced Physics Research, Volume 5, Issue 4, April 2026.
This Perspective summarize an informationcomplete quantum theory which describes a fully quantum world without any classical systems and concepts. Here spacetime/gravity, having to be a physical quantum system, universally entangles matter (matter fermions and their gauge fields) as an indivisible trinity, and encodes information‐complete physical ...

Properties of Fluctuating States in Loop Quantum Cosmology

open access: yesMathematics, 2019
In loop quantum cosmology, the values of volume fluctuations and correlations determine whether the dynamics of an evolving state exhibits a bounce. Of particular interest are states that are supported only on either the positive or the negative part of ...
