The Role of Dice in the Emergence of the Probability Calculus

open access: yesInternational Statistical Review, Volume 94, Issue 2, Page 464-483, August 2026.
Summary The early development of the probability calculus was clearly influenced by the roll of dice. However, while dice have been cast since time immemorial, documented calculations on the frequency of various dice throws date back only to the mid‐13th century.

Delomization, or the esoteric Nechung kang so, the Dalai Lama, and exilic imaginings of a Tibetan community

open access: yesJournal of Linguistic Anthropology, Volume 36, Issue 2, August 2026.
Abstract I propose the concept of delomization, the process whereby a sign comes to be understood as a symbol. I term such signs delomes. With rhematization and dicentization, delomization completes the triplet that linguistic anthropologists derive from Charles Sanders Peirce's third trichotomy.

Raman analysis of organic refractory materials after energetic processing: Evidence for amorphous carbon on TNOs and comets

open access: yesMeteoritics &Planetary Science, Volume 61, Issue 8, Page 1994-2015, August 2026.
Abstract Amorphous carbon (αC) is found in various extraterrestrial particles, including those thought to originate from the outer Solar System. αC can form through two main processes involving C‐rich materials: exposure to energetic charged particles and thermal processing.

Philosophy of Cosmology

2013
Cosmology has made enormous progress in the last several decades. It is no longer a neglected subfield of physics, as it was as recently as 1960; it is instead an active area of fundamental research that can boast of a Standard Model well-supported by observations.
