# gst: from chimera states to spike avalanches and quasicriticality; the role of superdiffusive coupling.

<< ️The partial synchronization states of collective activity, as well as the spike avalanches realization in systems of interacting neurons, are extremely important distinguishing features of the neocortical circuits that have multiple empirical validations. However, at this stage, there is a limited number of studies highlighting their potential interrelationship at the level of nonlinear mathematical models. >>

<< ️In this study, (AA) investigate the development of chimera states and the emergence of spike avalanches in superdiffusive neural networks, as well as analyze the system's approach to quasicriticality. >>

<< ️The analysis of the available ideas suggests that partial synchronization states, spike avalanches, and quasicritical neuronal dynamics are all directly implicated in core cognitive functions such as information processing, attention, and memory. Given this fundamental role, the results presented in this (AA) work could have significant implications for both theoretical neuroscience and applied machine learning, particularly in the development of reservoir computing systems. >>

# gst: quantum avalanche stability of many-body localization with power-law interactions.

<< ️(AA) investigate the stability of the many-body localized (MBL) phase against quantum avalanche instabilities in a one-dimensional Heisenberg spin chain with long-range power-law interactions (V ∝ r−α). >>

<< ️(They) finite-size scaling analysis of entanglement entropy identifies a critical interaction exponent αc ≈ 2, which separates a fragile regime, characterized by an exponentially diverging critical disorder, from a robust short-range regime. >>

<< ️(AA) results confirm that the MBL phase remains asymptotically stable in the thermodynamic limit when disorder exceeds an interaction-dependent threshold. >>

# gst: generation of disordered networks with targeted structural properties.

<< ️Disordered spatial networks are model systems that describe structures and interactions across multiple length scales. Scattering and interference of waves in these networks can give rise to structural phase transitions, localization, diffusion, and band gaps. >>

<< ️(AA) tune the degree and type of disorder introduced into initially crystalline networks by varying the bond-bending force constant in the strain energy and the temperature profile. >>

<< ️As a case study, (AA) statistically reproduce four disordered biophotonic networks exhibiting structural color. This work presents a versatile method for generating disordered networks with tailored structural properties. It will enable new insights into structure-property relations, such as photonic band gaps in disordered networks. >>

# gst: dynamical entanglement percolation with spatially correlated disorder.

<< ️The distribution of entanglement between the nodes of a quantum network plays a fundamental role in quantum information applications. In this work, (AA) investigate the dynamics of a network of qubits where each edge corresponds to an independent two-qubit interaction. By applying tools from percolation theory, (They) study how entanglement dynamically spreads across the network. (They) show that the interplay between unitary evolution and spatially correlated disorder leads to a non-standard percolation phenomenology, significantly richer than uniform bond percolation and featuring hysteresis. >>

# gst: wrinkling dynamics accelerate due to sudden changes in boundary conditions.

<< ️(AA) investigate the wrinkling dynamics of a long, flat filament immersed in a viscous fluid subjected to compression at a constant rate. Typical wrinkling dynamics proceed through three stages: initiation, development, and relaxation. The first stage, during which high mode perturbations increase exponentially while the shape and filament tension remain almost unchanged, is notably longer in the linear and nonlinear simulations than in the experiments by Chopin et al. [Phys. Rev. Lett. 119, 088001 (2017)]. >>

<< ️(AA) propose that sudden environmental changes introduce extra high-frequency perturbations beyond thermal fluctuations, which significantly accelerates the first stage. This effect is universal and inevitable for similar processes given the experimental conditions. >>

<< ️Finally, (They) analyze the relationship between the initial perturbations and the duration of the first stage. >>

# behav: emergent togetherness in collaborative dance improvisation.

<< ️Collective improvisation in dance provides a rich natural laboratory for studying emergent coordination in coupled neuro-motor systems. Here, (AA) investigate how training shapes spontaneous synchronization patterns in both movement and brain signals during collaborative performance. >>

<< ️Results indicate that training produced an intriguing dissociation: inter-brain synchronization increased, particularly within the frontal lobe, while interpersonal motor synchrony decreased. This opposite trend suggests that enhanced participatory sense-making fosters neural alignment while simultaneously expanding individual motor explorations, thereby reducing coupling in movement. >>

<< ️(Their) findings position collaborative improvisation as a complex dynamical regime in which togetherness emerges not from identical motor outputs but from shared neural intentionality distributed across multilayer interaction networks, exemplifying the coupling-decoupling paradox, whereby increasing inter-brain synchrony supports the exploration of broader and mutually divergent motor trajectories. These results highlight the nonlinear nature of social coordination, offering new avenues for modeling creative joint action in human systems. >>

# gst: beyond interpolation toward invention, the hypothesis of selective imperfection as a generative framework for analysis, creativity and discovery.

<< ️(AA) introduce materiomusic as a generative framework linking the hierarchical structures of matter with the compositional logic of music. Across proteins, spider webs and flame dynamics, vibrational and architectural principles recur as tonal hierarchies, harmonic progressions, and long-range musical form. >>

<< ️(They) show how sound functions as a scientific probe, an epistemic inversion where listening becomes a mode of seeing and musical composition becomes a blueprint for matter. >>

<< ️Selective imperfection provides the mechanism restoring balance between coherence and adaptability. >>

<< ️(They) show how swarm-based AI models compose music exhibiting human-like structural signatures such as small-world connectivity, modular integration, long-range coherence, suggesting a route beyond interpolation toward invention. (They) show that science and art are generative acts of world-building under constraint, with vibration as a shared grammar organizing structure across scales. >>

FonT:  apropos of 'selective imperfection', at one time I was surprised by the structure of a temple gate in Kyoto where one of the elements is installed upside down.
