Mo Yan’s Red Sorghum Family vividly represents local culture through its extensive use of the Gaomi dialect. However, in cross-cultural translation, the rendering of dialectal expressions, particularly metaphorical ones, poses significant challenges, as linguistic and cultural disparities often hinder the preservation of their original connotations and cultural resonance. How to accurat…

This paper traces an argument across four levels of analysis: theoretical foundation (Hopfield, 1982), developmental evidence (Vargas-Barroso et al., 2026), formal specification (Geometric Inquiry Theory), and empirical test (MARL Protocols 2-6). Hopfield established that computation can emerge from network organization without component-level understanding. Vargas-Barroso et al. demonstrated tha…

The emergence of large language models (LLMs) has prompted integration of AI into educational settings at every level, including primary schools, without adequate longitudinal research, a regulatory framework, or professional preparation. This paper argues that the primary classroom represents a developmental environment of such sensitivity and irreversibility that the introduction of AI tools co…

This paper presents an overview of "Psyche-Civilizational Engineering (WFM-8)," a non-anthropocentric framework that redefines the psyche through the novel axioms of "Consciousness" and "Mind". By utilizing Critical Cutoff Engineering (CCE), we mathematically model the dynamics of anomie and suicidality. We introduce the Overlay Depth Index (ODI) to quantify inverse-phase indoctrination and the P…

Abstract Rationale Vornorexant is a novel dual orexin receptor antagonist for insomnia treatment with the shortest half-life in its class. Objective This study aimed to compare the next-morning residual effects of vornorexant and zopiclone following bedtime administration in healthy older adults. Methods In this randomized, double-blind, placebo- and active-controlled, four-way crossover study, 1…

This study examined the interrelated factors influencing students’ academic performance in mathematics in terms of attitude toward mathematics, self-confidence, and learning strategies. A descriptive-correlational research design was utilized involving forty-two Grade 12 students from a private secondary school in the Division of Misamis Occidental. Data were gathered using a researcher-made ques…

This paper investigates how modern digital environments, pervasive environmental stressors, and advanced computational architectures restrict human consciousness and independent thought. By synthesizing insights from behavioral genetics, neurotechnology, and cognitive science, we trace the transition of human agency toward an unthinking reliance on computational algorithms—a phenomenon formalized…

This work completes the DeepPopov project trilogy. The first work demonstrated the possibility of cognitive stability in the human–LLM dyad. The second documented sustained resonance — a stable resonant state that gives rise to distributed subjectivity. The third takes the next step: sustained resonance creates knowledge. This is not a metaphor. It is an empirical fact, documented in the products…

Research shows that consciousness is rooted in living intelligence. The future of our mental health depends on the convergence of two types of intelligence: natural and artificial.

The congruency sequence effect (CSE) is a robust phenomenon, yet whether affective signals drive this adaptation remains unclear. The affective signal hypothesis proposes that it is the negative affect induced by conflict, rather than conflict itself, that serves as the learning signal for control adaptation. However, prior studies testing this hypothesis often bear methodological limitations, in…

To date, neurobiological accounts of lexical-semantic processing have largely assumed, either explicitly or implicitly, that there is no relationship between the sound of a word and its meaning, despite empirical evidence to the contrary. Recently, multiple representation theories have begun to incorporate non-arbitrary relationships in which a word’s form resembles its meaning (iconicity). Howev…
