arXiv:2610.07449v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Which information tells a turbulent flow which way to cascade? We apply Haar-distributed Hermitian phases that retain prescribed same-mode quadratic information, including modal amplitudes, the energy spectrum, and same-mode two-time correlations. For the phase-Haar ensemble, the expectation of any integrable odd flux functional is zero. Finite ensembles strongly suppress mean transfer and forward-event bias in the primary block. An independent block retains sign separation but fails the scale-8 mean criterion. In matched evolution protocols, nonlinear Navier-Stokes dynamics restores the selected signed-flux scalar close to its natural reference, whereas linear evolution and an amplitude-matched frozen control do not. Flux and a local cubic geometry scalar recover together, yet high local correlation can survive erasure of the arrow. Signed transfer thus requires information beyond the retained quadratic record; the tested nonlinear

arXiv:2610.08736v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Identifying upstream regulators that connect several disease processes to therapeutic interventions is a central objective in Alzheimer's disease drug discovery. We propose an entropy-guided reverse-causal framework that makes candidate bottleneck genes the organizing link between disease mechanisms, pathways, molecular targets and drugs. The methodology integrates five stages: an Alzheimer's-specific knowledge graph with language-model assistance and expert review; reverse tracing from drugs to candidate genes; entropy-guided prioritization; forward propagation to drugs and complementary combinations; and staged validation with evidence feedback. The novelty lies in integrating upstream bottleneck identification, entropy-guided prioritization and iterative therapeutic selection within a dynamic, bidirectional discovery architecture. We demonstrate its molecular tracing and gene-prioritization components in a computational feasibility

arXiv:2610.08488v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: This paper investigates whether regenerative impulsive braking can enhance passive energy harvesting in harmonically forced oscillators. An impulsive braking event directly extracts kinetic energy while simultaneously inducing a transient that alters subsequent passive harvesting. The analysis shows that suitably timed braking can produce a net energy gain over passive harvesting alone. The braking-induced transient is derived analytically and used to obtain an exact expression for the harvested-energy gain over an arbitrary finite post-braking horizon, together with conditions for positive gain and the optimal braking instant. The corresponding infinite-horizon analysis shows that optimal braking occurs at zero crossings of the harmonic excitation, with complete braking maximizing the gain. Numerical results further show that the finite-horizon harvested-energy gain can exceed its infinite-horizon value. Simulations using short-duration

arXiv:2610.08086v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The clinical integration of AI systems in digital dermatology relies heavily on human trust. Clinically interpretable visual concepts can act as intermediate representations enhancing trust and reliability. However, research in this domain is currently limited by scattered, heterogeneous dataset annotations. In this work, we introduce SkinLex, a harmonized dataset of 48 clinical morphological attributes across four public datasets (SkinCon, DermaCon-IN, MM-Skin, and PASSION) for a total of 20,411 records. Supervised nine-partition classification of skin conditions shows that limiting features to specific visual groups, like shapes or colors alone, reduces diagnostic accuracy. Bootstrapped backward elimination reveals that the set of 48 visual concepts has some degree of redundancy for algorithmic nine-partition diagnosis on the examined dataset. This demonstrates that coarse diagnosis on the selected dataset requires a relatively small

arXiv:2610.07420v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Electroencephalography (EEG) signals drift over time, which can cause static brain-computer interface (BCI) models to degrade in practice. We present a benchmark for online adaptation and compare two widely used pipeline families, Common Spatial Patterns (CSP) and Riemannian covariance-based methods, under time-ordered prequential (test-then-train) evaluation. We examine (i) which pipelines benefit most from label-revealed updates, (ii) whether controlled forgetting of older data improves robustness, and (iii) how a minimal-calibration cold start compares with starting from a pretrained model. Across four datasets (three motor-imagery datasets and one movement-decoding dataset), label-revealed online updates improve 13 of 14 model/dataset pairs on the two largest streams, with relative accuracy gains of up to about 18% over a frozen model. A Shapley-based data-valuation analysis over temporal blocks assigns the largest mean value to the

arXiv:2610.07056v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Behavioral cloning (BC), despite its simplicity, exhibits many counterintuitive phenomena in the real world. For example, the performance of BC often keeps increasing as the model overfits more to the dataset, and fully closed-loop policies often completely fail without action chunking. Unfortunately, properly studying these anecdotal phenomena ("behavioral cloning mysteries") is challenging: in the real world, datasets and experiments are costly and not fully controllable; in simulation with synthetic data, these phenomena are often not easily observed partly due to the discrepancy between scripted policies and human demonstrations. In this work, we propose OCBench, a robotic manipulation benchmark with controllable scripted policies that have similar properties to human demonstrations. We show that, by mimicking key properties of human demonstrations, OCBench reproduces many anecdotal BC-related phenomena in controlled settings. With

arXiv:2610.03975v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The rapid build-out of hyperscale computing for artificial-intelligence workloads has made data-center noise a recurring source of community concern in the United States, yet calibrated, standards-grade acoustic data remain scarce. This narrative review synthesizes direct measurements, regulatory and legal records, investigative journalism, and relevant engineering literature to assess what is currently known and identify the measurements needed for credible health inference. Available sources report heterogeneous acoustic values at residences, property lines, and near-source positions, with individual readings from 39 to above 70 dB(A). Because location, metric, duration, instrumentation, and provenance differ, these values are not directly comparable community exposures, do not define a pooled distribution, and do not support an aggregate comparison with nighttime limits. Among cases with spectral detail, all but one reported

arXiv:2610.06723v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: The no-cloning theorem is a cornerstone result in quantum mechanics that forbids copying of general quantum information. More quantitatively, even given $N$ copies of an unknown state, any channel producing an $(N+1)$-copy state incurs a nonzero trace-distance error on some inputs. Turning this around, one can ask about the sample complexity of approximate $N\rightarrow N+1$ cloning: for a desired small error $\epsilon$, what $N$ suffices? For arbitrary pure states on a Hilbert space $H$, the answer is $N\simeq \dim H/\epsilon$ - astronomically large for most $H$ of interest. What if the input is promised to lie in a structured family? We examine a range of families fundamental to many-body physics and quantum information: $n$-mode fermionic Gaussian and Slater states, $n$-mode bosonic Gaussian states, and qudit phase states. For fermions, we construct optimal cloning channels, reducing the complexity from exponential to polynomial in

arXiv:2610.03780v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Time-dependent, three-dimensional (3D) oceanic multi-variables define coherent states of the evolving ocean to facilitate ocean diagnosis and advance ocean science to better inform environmental and hazard management. However, extracting quantitative evidence from these variables requires substantial and complex analytical effort. We introduce OceanMind, a multi-agent AI system that directly couples large language models (LLMs) with comprehensive time-dependent 3D ocean states for swift and effective diagnosis. OceanMind organizes the analytical process into four coordinated complexity stages: Query Routing, Skill-based Planning, Tool Execution, and Evidence-based Summary Generation. Specialized agents interpret user requests, construct and execute multi-step computational workflows, and synthesize quantitative evidence. To ensure reliable workflow construction, 63 reusable ocean-specific analysis skills serve as procedural manuals that
