# gst: dissipation-coherence tradeoff for stochastic oscillations.

<< ️Autonomous noisy oscillations in biochemical and mesoscopic systems require nonequilibrium driving and therefore dissipation. A striking conjecture by Oberreiter, Barato, and Seifert (OBS) proposes a universal lower bound on the entropy produced per oscillation period in terms of the coherence number of the slowest oscillatory mode (L. Oberreiter et al. [Phys. Rev. E 106, 014106 (2022)]). >>

<< ️Here (AA) derive a weaker but rigorous lower bound that preserves the OBS structure while introducing a mode-uniformity factor that quantifies how evenly the oscillatory eigenmode is distributed across states in the steady-state inner product. The result makes explicit that an eigenvalue-only prefactor can fail when the dominant oscillatory mode is localized. >>

<< ️(They) also outline a proof-of-principle route for estimating this factor from low-dimensional data under single-mode dominance and sufficiently informative measurements, and derive an eigenvector-free corollary using only the smallest stationary probability. >>

<< ️Translation-invariant Markov jump processes on a ring provide a symmetry-protected class with 𝜂=1, so the refinement reduces to the OBS form; the drift-diffusion limit on a circle saturates the bound. >>

# gst: on maximal delay of stability loss for dynamical bifurcations.

<< ️(AA) consider a dynamical bifurcation caused by a slow passage through a static bifurcation point: in a system depending on a parameter, the parameter changes slowly in time and passes through the critical value corresponding to the loss of stability of an equilibrium via a Poincaré--Andronov--Hopf bifurcation in the frozen system. >>

<< ️If the system is analytic, then the loss of stability is inevitably delayed: phase points attracted to the equilibrium in the stability region remain near the equilibrium for a long time after entering the instability region, so that the parameter changes by an amount of order ~1 independently of how slow the variation of the parameter is. Remarkably, there exists a maximal delay: all phase points attracted to the stable equilibrium before a certain threshold value of the parameter leave a neighbourhood of the unstable equilibrium almost simultaneously near another threshold value of the parameter, known as a buffer point. >>

<< ️A delay of stability loss beyond the buffer point is impossible unless the initial data have a very special form. (AA) assume that, although the equilibrium is non-degenerate for real values of the parameter, one of its eigenvalues vanishes generically for some complex value of the parameter (a complex analogue of a saddle-node bifurcation), and that this complex singularity is, in a suitable sense, the closest one to the real Poincaré--Andronov--Hopf bifurcation point. >>

<< ️(AA) show that the value of maximal delay is determined by this complex singularity: the threshold values defining the maximal delay are the intersection points of the Stokes lines associated with this singularity and the real axis. (They) study these phenomena in the framework of slow--fast dynamical systems. >>

# aibot: parasitic masquerade; societal scale human-machine interaction.

<< This (AA) work extends recent developments in studying human--machine interaction by scaling from individual game-theoretic models to a societal-level model. (They) adopt a Graphon Mean-Field Game (GMFG) that models the interaction among four groups of internally-homogeneous but externally-heterogeneous agents in a shared environment. >>

<< (AA) results show that parasitism can masquerade as productive learning, with knowledge distribution and actions appearing healthy while being driven by machine coupling rather than independent investigation. To detect this, (They) measure the direction of information flow and belief entropy of the environment, revealing that human to machine channel dominates across all scenarios, with the asymmetry intensifying under parasitism. >>

<< (They) further demonstrate that the system exhibits coexisting mutualistic and parasitic equilibria, where environmental noise can induce a tipping point that shifts agents past the cognitive cost barrier. These emergent phenomena are not designed into any individual agent but arise from the collective interaction structure, underscoring the need to study the sociology of humans and machines holistically as a complex system. >>

# gst: collective drift and pinning in active rotator networks with Kuramoto coupling and mixed-sign feedback disorder.

<< ️Active rotator models provide a minimal phase description of excitable and oscillatory systems, and have long been used to study mutual entrainment, synchronization, and collective transitions. >>

<< ️Here, (AA) investigate fully connected active rotator networks with Kuramoto coupling, where a common intrinsic drive competes with local feedback amplitudes drawn from a zero-mean Gaussian distribution. This produces a competition between local pinning and collective phase alignment. >>

<< ️Using mean absolute late-time drift and the fractions of positive and negative drifting oscillators, (They) construct numerical regime maps in the feedback-disorder-coupling plane. At weak coupling, increasing the feedback disorder strength suppresses drift, while stronger coupling can restore positive late-time drift when feedback disorder is not too strong. (They) interpret these regimes using analytical limits for the uncoupled and coherent strong-coupling cases. >>

<< ️(They) also examine finite-size effects and zero-mean distributed intrinsic frequencies. Together, these results show that mixed-sign local feedback alone can reshape the balance between pinning and drifting in coupled active rotator networks, even when the intrinsic drive is homogeneous. >>

# gst: randomised mixed labyrinth fractals.

<< ️In this (AA) paper, the class of randomised mixed labyrinth fractals is introduced. It is a class of finitely ramified Sierpinski carpets that generalize mixed labyrinth fractals. >>

<< ️The structures are generated by randomly selected labyrinth patterns with fixed selection probabilities at each iteration level, offering a flexible framework to study fractal topology, arc dimensions, and shortest path properties. Here, the focus lies on analysing how the randomised mixing of patterns - specifically their shape, symmetry, and path geometry - effects arc dimensions, path lengths, and isotropy restoration. >> 

<< ️The (AA) study reveals that isotropy, previously shown for self-similar fractals, extends to the randomised mixed class. Various scaling behaviours of shortest path dimensions with respect to the mixing probability are identified, including linear and nonlinear monotonic trends, as well as transitions with maxima. The approximated path matrix is proposed as an efficient alternative to extensive iterative simulations, reliably reproducing statistical results. >>

<< ️The findings highlight the relevance of pattern properties in determining fractal structures and dynamics and suggest applications in physical systems such as diffusion, signal processing, and antenna design. >>

# game: apropos of “tit-for-tat” approach, the evolution of lying in a spatially-explicit prisoner's dilemma model.

<< ️(AA) present the results from a spatial model of the prisoner’s dilemma, played on a toroidal lattice. Each individual has a default strategy of either cooperating (C) or defecting (D). Two strategies were tested, including “tit-for-tat” (TFT), in which individuals play their opponent’s last play, or simply playing their default play. Each individual also has a probability of telling the truth (0 ≤ P_(truth) ≤ 1) about their last play. >>

<< ️This parameter, which can evolve over time, allows individuals to be, for instance, a defector but present as a cooperator regarding their last play. >>

<< ️This leads to interesting dynamics where mixed populations of defectors and cooperators with P_(truth) ≥ 0.75 move toward populations of truth-telling cooperators. >>

<< ️Likewise, mixed populations with P_(truth) < 0.7 become populations of lying defectors. >>

<< ️Both such populations are stable because they each have higher average scores than populations with intermediate values of P_(truth). Applications of this model are discussed with regards to both humans and animals. >>

# behav: decomposition of anomalous diffusion in two-state random walks.

<< ️Two-state stochastic models, where motion alternates between distinct dynamical modes, are widely observed in complex systems. Here (AA) study the Two-State Random Walk (TSRW), which switches between a continuous-time random walk (CTRW) rest state and a standard Lévy walk (LW) motion state, each with power-law distributed sojourn times. >>

<< ️Using anomalous diffusion decomposition, (They) show that TSRWs exhibit a generic coexistence of Joseph (correlation), Noah (heavy-tailed increments), and Moses (aging) effects. >>

<< ️Strikingly, although classical Lévy walks alone possess only the Joseph effect, both Noah and Moses effects emerge in TSRWs solely due to stochastic switching with the CTRW phase. >>

<< ️(Their) results demonstrate that coupling between dynamical states can fundamentally reshape the mechanisms driving anomalous diffusion, offering a minimal yet powerful framework for transport in heterogeneous and intermittently switching environments. >>

# gst: localization of active particles on random arrays of parallel filaments.

<< ️Quenched disorder in the environment can fundamentally alter transport dynamics in both active and passive systems. (AA) explore how disordered arrays of filaments govern the distribution of intermittently moving particles which switch between diffusive and processive transport. >>

<<️ Motivated by the mixed-polarity arrangements of parallel microtubules observed in mammalian dendrites, (They) show that such arrays tend to result in localization of particles at regions of convergent filament orientation. In the rapid attachment-detachment limit, the disordered system can be described by a noisy one-dimensional effective energy landscape, whose structure is approximated by a random walk. >>

<< ️The depth and width of wells on this landscape are expressed as a function of the transport kinetics and system geometry. Localization is shown to be strongest at intermediate run-lengths, where biased transport persists long enough to sense the quenched filament polarity but not so long as to facilitate escape from local traps. >>

<< ️These (AA) results demonstrate robust localization of particles moving on random filament networks, highlighting the emergent spatial organization that arises from an interplay of active transport and quenched disorder. >>

The classification demonstrates robustness to reasonable shifts in the pattern image boundaries. >>

# gst: percolation criticality of amorphous-amorphous transitions (in compressed glasses).

<< ️The low-to-high-density transition in compressed silica glass is investigated using percolation theory. Large-scale molecular dynamics simulations of SiO glasses, (..) were carried out (by AA) to investigate the emergence of structural motifs and their growth to system-spanning length scales under compression. >>

<< ️Taken together, these results underline the consistency between the bonded and non-bonded approaches. Native tetrahedral clusters, (..) collapse according to a process close to the random percolation model. >>

<< ️For all other percolation transitions, i.e. involving clusters with higher coordination number and connectivity, the deviation of the exponents instead suggests a different universality class. It can be argued that for these structures, the transition occurs in a medium where the percolating cluster is surrounded by an infinite cluster of lower coordination and connectivity, alongside emerging clusters with higher coordination and connectivity, resulting in topological, and hence elastic, heterogeneities. This behavior recalls topological constraint theory, also known as percolation rigidity, that arises from a flexible to a rigid network as local connectivity changes >>.

# gst: effective synchronization amid noise-induced chaos.

<< ️Two remote agents with synchronized clocks may use them to act in concert and communicate. This necessitates some means of creating and maintaining synchrony. One method, not requiring any direct interaction between the agents, is to expose them to a common, environmental, stochastic forcing. This “noise-induced synchronization” occurs only under sufficiently mild forcing; stronger forcing disrupts synchronization. >>

<< ️(AA) investigate the regime of strong noise, where the clocks' relative phases evolve chaotically. Using a simple realization of disruptive noise, (They) demonstrate effective synchronization. First, although the relative phases of the two clocks varied erratically, (They) confirm that they became statistically independent of initial conditions and hence equivalent after a well-defined timescale. Second, (They) show that an agent can estimate an effective phase that closely agrees with the other's phase. Thus, synchronization is practically attainable beyond the regime of conventional noise-induced synchronization. >>

Using a combination of analytical techniques based on the Schwarz-Christoffel methods for potential flow and on numerical simulations, (They) show that local velocity amplification near sharp corners crucially controls the critical flow velocity for vortex nucleation. For both wall and well configurations, (They) identify analytically and theoretically the critical velocities as a function of the obstacle width and its height or depth, finding excellent agreement between the theory and numerical simulations. >>

# gst: describing a universal critical behavior in a transition from order to chaos.

<< ️(AA) present a comprehensive discussion of a transition from integrability to nonintegrability in an oval billiard with a static boundary. This transition is controlled by a deformation parameter 𝜀, which modifies the boundary shape from circular, corresponding to 𝜀=0 and an integrable dynamics, to oval for 𝜀≠0, where nonintegrability emerges. >>

<< ️The deformation of the circular billiard gives rise to a chaotic layer that develops along a well-defined stripe in phase space. By introducing a set of transformations that isolate this chaotic stripe, (They) characterize the diffusive spreading of ensembles of trajectories and identify an observable, 𝜔_(rms,sat), which plays the role of an order parameter for the transition. >>

<< For small deformations, the saturation value of the diffusion obeys the scaling law 𝜔_(rms,sat)∝𝜀^(˜𝛼), with a critical exponent ˜𝛼=0.507⁢(2), vanishing continuously as 𝜀→0. The associated susceptibility, 𝜒=𝑑⁢𝜔_(rms,sat)/𝑑⁢𝜀, diverges in the same limit, signaling the presence of critical behavior analogous to that observed in second-order (continuous) phase transitions in statistical mechanics. >>

<< ️(They) find that spanwise vortices, stretched between streamwise rolls, approach the walls, over which new spanwise vortices are generated. The stretching of these vortices is driven by strong shear layers induced by the streamwise rolls. This vortex-generation mechanism, as revealed by the LES UPOs, is a significant dynamical process in LES turbulence at high Reynolds numbers. >>

<< ️By computing local Lyapunov exponents, which quantify the least stable perturbation growth rates along the UPOs, (They) show that the stretching process amplifies their growth. The corresponding Lyapunov vectors highlight the instability of prominent shear layers through which the stretched spanwise vortices emerge between the rolls. >>
