The Question of Referentiality

open access: yesPhilosophy and Phenomenological Research, Volume 113, Issue 3, Page 657-669, November 2026.
ABSTRACT Most theorists have offered different accounts of reference fixing for names, demonstratives, and indexicals. Indeed, this variety can seem an inevitable response to a certain class of hard cases. Here, I will offer a unified account of reference fixing equally capable of handling these cases.

Leveraging Symbolic Artificial Intelligence and Fuzzy Logic for Materials Science: A Review of Methods, Challenges, and Applications to Scarce and Imperfect Experimental Data

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, Volume 28, Issue 20, 21 October 2026.
This article explores the transformative potential of symbolic artificial intelligence (AI) in the field of materials science, particularly in leveraging experimental data. The article presents several symbolic AI models and discusses their applications in materials science.

Dyn-Phi: A Trace-Informed Join Node for Triaging Opaque Predicates and Dead Branches in Binary Code

open access: yes
Opaque predicates inflate a binary's control-flow graph, and the symbolic execution that can prove them infeasible scales poorly, so analysts must decide where to spend it. Dyn-Phi is a triage formulation for that decision. At each use where several definitions of a location may arrive, it annotates the static reaching set with how often each was ...

Dyn-Phi: A Trace-Based Dynamic Phi-Node Frameworkfor Opaque Predicate and Dead Code Detection in Binary Analysis

open access: yes
This repository contains the preprint and evaluation artifacts for Dyn-Phi, a lightweight triage layer that augments classical Static Single Assignment (SSA) join nodes with observed execution frequencies. Classical SSA places phi nodes purely on dominance frontiers; Dyn-Phi extends this by tagging join points with empirical register definition ...

Zero Footprint Opaque Predicates: Synthesizing Opaque Predicates From Naturally Occurring Invariants

Lecture Notes in Computer Science, 2021
A popular control-flow obfuscation approach used to protect software is inserting opaque predicates. However, recent research has questioned the usefulness of opaque predicates with the realization that simple heuristic attacks can effectively detect them.

When Are Opaque Predicates Useful?

2019 18th IEEE International Conference On Trust, Security And Privacy In Computing And Communications/13th IEEE International Conference On Big Data Science And Engineering (TrustCom/BigDataSE), 2019
Opaque predicates are a commonly used technique in program obfuscation, intended to add complexity to control flow and to insert dummy code or watermarks. However, there are many attacks known to detect opaque predicates and remove dummy code. We survey these attacks and argue that many types of programs cannot be securely obfuscated using opaque ...

Constructing Opaque Predicates for Java Programs

2006 International Conference on Computational Intelligence and Security, 2006
This paper proposes a new method to construct a family of opaque predicates for Java programs by combining indeterminate equation and cryptography. In our construction, cryptography is first exploited for manufacturing opaque predicates. Our opaque predicates are more resilient, stealthier and cheaper.
