_European Journal of Analytic Philosophy_. forthcomingDavid Chalmers’ two-dimensional argument against physicalism—commonly known as the zombie argument—stands as one of the most extensively debated arguments in contemporary analytic philosophy. One comparatively neglected response to the argument maintains that considerations of conceivability cut both ways: just as the ideal conceivability of p…

_Zenodo_. 2026This paper presents there-is within the first system of Kasei-Theory as a non-modal readability maintainability architecture. The paper does not propose a theory of presence, existence, being, manifestation, ontological persistence, completed configurational actuality, tactile access, objecthood, residuality-derived ground, trace-derived preservation, appearance-derived manifestatio…

This paper introduces the Unified Symbolic Architecture, a meaning‑preserving communication and control framework grounded in a non‑digital, non‑protocol‑based theory of symbolic transmission. Unlike conventional communication systems that encode information as bit‑streams requiring parsing, interpretation, and protocol agreement, the Unified Symbolic Architecture transmits atomic symbolic states…

This tractate restates, in compressed form, the argument of No Self-Authorizing Norms: A Structural Theorem on Moral Judgment (Shahaf 2025). Its whole sense may be put in a sentence: whoever judges has already deferred. What can be proved at all is here proved from a single clause; the rest is logic – and what that clause carries cannot be said within the calculus, but shows itself in its use. Th…

The production of theoretical frameworks is becoming easier than their selection. In several areas of contemporary fundamental inquiry, including quantum foundations, high-energy theory, cosmology, and consciousness studies, multiple sophisticated frameworks can remain compatible with limited or indirect empirical constraints. The rise of AI-assisted research is likely to intensify this condition…

_Https://Doi.Org/10.5281/Zenodo.20623511_. 2026This paper introduces “The Chinese Whispers Effect” as a structural concept within the Structural Fingerprint Method (SFM) and the wider Paton System. The framework proposes that informational reality naturally undergoes progressive distortion as it traverses between observers, cultures, symbolic systems, historical reconstruction layers, explanatory…

_Perspectives in Sustainable Development Studies_ 1 (1):1-13. 2026School violence and child safety policies in Southeast Asia have undergone significant transformation, driven by ASEAN-level commitments and national reforms. This comparative analysis examines legal frameworks, ministerial orders, and programmatic strategies across 11 Southeast Asian jurisdictions, including Brunei Darussalam, Cam…

_Zenodo_. 2026This paper fixes the bridge layer between the first and second systems of Kasei-Theory. The bridge layer does not introduce an outside, a pre-world structure, world-formation, emergence, activation, or a domain beyond the first system. It reorganizes the first system as a field of peripheral fixations at the limit named Kagen. The peripheral is not exteriority. It is not the failure…

_Zenodo_. 2026The Architecture of Limitation Observational System (AoLOS) Stack v1.0 provides the technical architecture and operational documentation for the execution environment supporting the Architecture of Limitation (AoL) research program. The document describes the stack through which constraint-governed reasoning experiments are deployed, instrumented, compared, and observed within langu…

This manuscript proves the Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer endpoint by fixed-carrier exclusion of analytic-arithmetic mismatch. The earlier structural BSD role-compression paper established the role architecture: elliptic-curve carrier, analytic L-function standing, Mordell-Weil rank readout, and the analytic-arithmetic bridge. The present paper moves from role architecture to endpoint closure. It prov…

This paper proposes a dual-dimensional framework for measuring freedom of speech across countries by distinguishing Institutional Freedom of Speech (IFoS) from Perceived Freedom of Speech (PFoS). The framework integrates four established international datasets: the World Press Freedom Index by Reporters Without Borders (RSF), Freedom in the World by Freedom House (FH), the Freedom of Expression i…

In The Legal Anatomy of the Body: Health, Rights, and Politics in Times of Emergency. Springer. forthcomingThis article examines how Italian physicians between the 16th and 18th centuries developed a logic of ‘intermediate states’ between health and disease. Moving from late Scholastic Galenism to early mechanistic medicine and through a genealogical counter-history of the concept of health as de…

_Review of Resp Ai_ 1 (2):44-53. 2026Do large language models (LLMs) possess a measurable “personality,” and how do the linguistic properties of training corpora shape their cognitive style and downstream reasoning? This paper approaches these questions from a sociolinguistic perspective on machine “identity.” This manuscript is positioned explicitly as a conceptual perspective paper: it does not…

Computation is widely held to be substrate-independent: a program is fixed by an automaton and runs on any hardware that implements it. We show that an implemen- tation map cannot be at once instantaneous (its verdict a function of the current state), neutral (specified from the automaton alone, blind to substrate timescales), and faithful (its readout tracks the automaton’s transitions) — at mos…

In this manuscript, I argue that in today’s world, there are many problem that fall outside the scope of traditional philosophical inquiry but are nonetheless worthy of philosophical attention or study and possess philosophical value. Therefore, by redefining meta-philosophy, I propose a new theory or method to help humanity understand these problem that cannot be grasped by existing philosophy. …

Three substrates, one insufficiency constraint, and where the information a single scalar throws away actually lives. A photograph, white noise, and the word "TRUE", matched on density, lose the same organization scalar and keep an identical 4/13 of their connectivity. The substrate-neutral scalar that keeps getting proposed as a sufficiency index for consciousness is provably content-blind by co…
