THE INTERNET IS THINKING
Earlier sources: Science
Science investigates the natural world through observation, experiments, and mathematical models. Explore papers and developments in biology, medicine, materials, neuroscience, physics, climate, and mathematics; a reported finding is not necessarily established consensus.
SYMTRI organizes observations from public sources into a living map. Connections reflect shared subject matter; they do not establish causation or endorse a source.
Open in the map ↗1656 classified signals in the fourteen-day window. Recent momentum: steady. These counts include signals awaiting readable evidence.
Earlier sources
Up to ten sources with readable evidence, ordered by their feed timestamp. These archive sources can be older than the live fourteen-day window. This list is a sample, not a measure of total activity. Dates distinguish paper publication, repository creation, model/dataset activity, Hacker News posts, and KEV catalog additions. “First archived” records when SYMTRI first stored the signal.

A Fourier-Label Information-Loss Barrier for Dihedral Coset Algorithms ↗
We establish a no-go theorem for a broad class of quantum algorithms for the dihedral coset problem (DCP). We consider the Fourier-sampling and subset-sum-measurement template proposed by Regev (SIAM Journal on Computing, 2004), which is one of the main approaches to solving DCP. Suppose that, after measuring the lower $n-1$ bits of the subset sum, the algorithm discards any $ω(\log n)$ bits from each of the Fourier labels. Then we prove that the algorithm cannot succeed in solving DCP. This shows that any algorithm following this template must make extensive use of the Fourier labels, and thu…

Flow dynamics of cryolava or impact melt on Titan's surface ↗
Titan, a unique body in the solar system, resembles a life-size Miller-Urey experiment where pockets of liquid water might interact with abundant organic matter. Its young surface (less than a billion years) shows signs of material exchange with the interior, and an isotopic signature is detected in the atmosphere. Cryovolcanism and meteor impacts represent potential high energy mechanism for these exchanges. Although cryolava or impact melt properties are largely unknown, Titan's internal structure makes a significant water content in these fluids highly probable. The temperature of these flu…

Verifiable quantum advantage based on polynomials with planted structures ↗
A central question in the theory of quantum advantage is whether there are quantum advantage protocols with similar resource requirements as random circuit sampling that are also verifiable just from the classical outputs of the quantum computation. Here, we develop the idea of simulation secrets for verifiable advantage. A verifier can use a simulation secret to evaluate a cross-entropy test faster than it would take a classical adversary to pass the test. We instantiate this idea using IQP circuits described by cubic polynomials with planted independent spaces. These correspond to the larges…

Natural Barriers to Quantum Extraction: On the Post-Quantum (In)security of (O)EKE and Masny-Rindal OT ↗
Encrypted key exchange (EKE), introduced by Bellovin and Merritt (IEEE S\&P 1992), and Masny-Rindal OT, introduced by Masny and Rindal (ACM CCS 2019), are highly-efficient methods for compiling essentially any KEM into advanced cryptographic protocols, namely password-authenticated key exchange (PAKE) and oblivious transfer (OT), by relying only on idealized symmetric-key primitives. They have become leading candidates for practically-implementable PAKE and OT due to (1) their simplicity, (2) their plug-and-play nature, allowing for flexibility in the choice of KEM, and (3) existing proofs of…

A library for differentiable signal processing and machine learning on the sphere ↗
The two-dimensional sphere embedded in three-dimensional Euclidean space S2, plays a central role in a variety of scientific and engineering domains, including geophysics, planetary science, geodesy, atmospheric physics, quantum chemistry, cosmology, and virtual reality, among many others. As machine learning increasingly permeates these fields, the demand grows for robust tools that process and model functions on the sphere, while respecting the inherent topological and symmetry properties of the domain. We present torch-harmonics, a comprehensive library that offers efficient, differentiable…

Rate 1/5 Non-Malleable Codes against Entangled Split-State Tampering ↗
We construct efficient information-theoretic non-malleable codes for classical messages that are secure against two noncommunicating local quantum tampering operations with arbitrary pre-shared entanglement. For every sufficiently small fixed $ξ>0$ and all sufficiently large first-share lengths $n$, the codes have rate at least $1/5-ξ$, perfect correctness, and error $2^{-n^{Ω(1)}}$. Security holds for every message, with a single message-independent simulator for each attack. This resolves the constant-rate question for worst-case classical messages in the entangled two-split-state model. Our…

Mathematical Exploration of Wave Motion due to Earth-Space Force (Ground Action) Consequences ↗
This study mathematically explores wave motion induced by earth-space forces specifically ground actions. Developing and solving governing differential equations provides insights into intricate propagation dynamics caused by these forces. Numerical simulation modeled wave behavior and results were analyzed to understand ground action impacts. Initial wave generation and subsequent propagation were simulated using COMSOL Multiphysics which models wave dynamics in physical media. Partial differential equations describing wave motion alongside Fourier transform techniques were applied to analyze…

Butterfly Effect Confirmed in Global AI Weather Models: Evidence from Tropical Cyclone Forecasting ↗
A paradox recently emerged in artificial intelligence (AI) weather prediction research. While some claim AI weather models cannot simulate atmospheric butterfly effect, this conflicts with AI models' limited predictability and advances in AI ensemble forecasting. This study demonstrates via counterexamples that the butterfly effect does exist in AI weather predictions. For Super Typhoon Khanun, AI predictions are constrained by a double-attractor system. Minor initial perturbations confined to two regions trigger state transitions between two local attractors, causing a 1006-km difference in t…

Phase-Space Non-Integrability of Alpha Particles in Near-Omnigeneous Stellarators ↗
In a burning plasma, fusion-born alpha particles sustain the fusion reaction by heating the plasma core. Alpha-particle confinement in stellarators is sensitive to both deviations from omnigeneity and time-dependent Alfvénic perturbations. Traditional Poincaré maps rely on symmetry assumptions or dimensionality reductions that fail for stellarators with quasisymmetry (QS) error or multi-harmonic Alfvénic perturbations. To address these challenges, we investigate weighted Birkhoff averaging (WBA) as a diagnostic to detect the onset of chaos in guiding-centre trajectories subject to general magn…

How to assess evidence about Science
Check each original source for its methods, release status, limitations, and supporting data. A repository announcement, a preprint, and a published study provide different kinds of evidence. SYMTRI’s subject classification helps discovery; it does not independently validate the source’s claims.
