# gst: time-delayed dynamics in regular Kuramoto networks with inertia: multistability, traveling waves, chimera states, and transitions to seizure-like activity.

<< ️This (AA) study examines the complex interplay between inertia and time delay in regular rotor networks within the framework of the second-order Kuramoto model. By combining analytical and numerical methods, (AA) demonstrate that intrinsic time delays -- arising from finite information transmission speeds - induce multistability among fully synchronized phase-locked states. >>

<< ️Unlike systems without inertia, the presence of inertia destabilizes these phase-locked states, reduces their basin of attraction, and gives rise to nonlinear phase-locked dynamics over specific inertia ranges. >>

<< ️In addition, (They) show that time delays promote the emergence of turbulent chimera states, while inertia enhances their spatial extent. Notably, the combined influence of inertia and time delay produces dynamic patterns reminiscent of partial epileptic seizures. >>

# 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. >>

# gst: chimera states in wheel networks

<< ️How higher-order interactions influence dynamical behavior in networks of coupled chaotic oscillators remains an open question. To address this, (AA) investigate emergent dynamical behaviors in a wheel network of Rössler and Lorenz oscillators that incorporates both pairwise (1-simplex) and higher-order (2-simplex) interactions under three coupling schemes, namely, diffusive, conjugate, and mean-field diffusive coupling. >>

<< ️(AA) numerical analysis reveals four distinct collective behaviors: synchronization, desynchronization, chimera states, and synchronized clusters. To systematically classify these dynamical behaviors, (They) introduce two statistical measures that effectively capture synchronization patterns among arbitrarily positioned nodes. Applying these measures across all dynamical models and coupling schemes (six different models in total), (They) show that both pairwise and higher-order interactions crucially influence the emergence and robustness of chimera states. (They) observe that under pairwise interaction alone, chimera states appear with high prevalence in specific coupling ranges, though the robustness depends on both the coupling scheme and the underlying dynamical system. >>

<< Incorporation of higher-order interactions reveals that the higher-order interaction underlying diffusive coupling enhances chimera states in both Rössler and Lorenz networks; under conjugate coupling, it strengthens chimera states in Lorenz but instead promotes full synchronization in Rössler; and under mean-field diffusive coupling, higher-order interactions generally favor synchronization, particularly for Rössler oscillators, but promote chimera in the Lorenz system for the intermediate range of its strengths. >>

<< ️Overall, (AA) results demonstrate that higher-order interactions can significantly modulate, promote, or suppress chimera states depending on the coupling mechanism and oscillator dynamics. >>

By using a hybrid logistic-sigmoidal map, (They) show that weak noise alters phase-space topology, enabling probabilistic recovery from extinction. Lyapunov and quasipotential analyses reveal noise-induced metastability and stochastic robustness absent in deterministic frameworks. These results suggest that environmental variability can stabilize nonlinear systems, offering a counternarrative to classical extinction theory. >>

Soft billiards are a generalization that includes a smooth boundary whose dynamics are governed by Hamiltonian equations and overcome overly simplistic representations. >>

#gst: intermittent motility of a synthetic active particle in changing environments.

<< ️(AA) experimentally investigate the dynamics of synthetic active particles composed of gravitationally bouncing, superwalking droplets confined within an annular fluid bath. >>

<< ️Driven by a topologically pumping dual-frequency waveform, the droplets exhibit alternating active (walking) and dormant (bouncing) phases, producing intermittent azimuthal motion. Tracking individual droplets reveals pseudolaminar chaotic dynamics in the time series of particle's angular position, characterized by laminar plateaus that are interrupted by short irregular bursts of activity. >>

<< ️Increasing the driving amplitude induces a qualitative change in the active particle's intermittent dynamics, arising from a symmetry-breaking transition in its Faraday-wave field environment: continuous SO(2)-symmetric "channelling" waves give way to discrete "trapping" patterns. >>

<< ️These findings demonstrate how environmental symmetry and spatiotemporal structure modulate motility and intermittency in synthetic active matter. >>

The oloid, a unique convex shape with anisotropic geometry, provides a distinctive model for exploring how a particle's shape and orientation affect its settling dynamics. >>

<< ️(AA) results indicate two distinct falling modes for the oloid, separated by Galileo number. The stable mode is characterised by a preferential orientation, with a rotation around the vertical axis, whereas the tumbling mode has randomly distributed orientation and rotation statistics. (They) characterise the falling velocity, orientation, and rotation dynamics of the oloids over a range of Galileo numbers. Additionally, the influence of the initial orientation is revealed to determine the rotation dynamics at low Galileo numbers. >>

# gst: compressed self-avoiding walks in two and three dimensions.

<< ️(AA) consider the phase transition induced by compressing a self-avoiding walk in a slab where the walk is attached to both walls of the slab in two and three dimensions, and the resulting phase once the polymer is compressed. The process of moving between a stretched situation where the walls pull apart to a compressed scenario is a phase transition with some similarities to that induced by pulling and pushing the end of the polymer. >>

<< ️However, there are key differences in that the compressed state is expected to behave like a lower dimensional system, which is not the case when the force pushes only on the end point of the polymer. (They) use scaling arguments to predict the exponents both associated with the phase transition and in the compressed state and find good agreement with Monte Carlo simulations. >>

# gst: apropos of reversibility, dynamics of reversible plasticity in an amorphous solid.

<< ️Local rearrangements are the elements of plastic deformation in an amorphous solid. In oscillatory shear, they can switch reversibly between two distinct configurations. While these repeating relaxations are typically considered in the limit of slow driving, their dynamics is less well understood. >>

<< ️(AA) perform experiments on a colloidal amorphous solid at an oil-water interface. The rearrangement timescales we observe span at least 1 decade, with no apparent upper bound. As frequency is increased, individual rearrangements appear faster and more hysteretic, but may disappear entirely above a crossover frequency -- suggesting that in practical experiments, the slowest rearrangements may be latent. (They) show how to find the effective potential energy that reproduces a particle's frequency-dependent motion. In rare cases, this potential energy has only one minimum. >>

# evol: fluctuating environments favor extreme dormancy strategies and penalize intermediate ones.

<< ️Dormancy is a widespread adaptive strategy that enables populations to persist in fluctuating environments, yet how its benefits depend on the temporal structure of environmental variability remains unclear. (AA) examine how dormancy interacts with environmental correlation times using a delayed-logistic model in which dormant individuals reactivate after a fixed lag while birth rates fluctuate under temporally correlated stochasticity. >> 

<< ️Numerical simulations and analytical calculations show that the combination of demographic memory and colored multiplicative noise generates a strongly non-monotonic dependence of fitness on dormancy duration, with three distinct performance regimes. Very short dormancy maximizes linear growth but amplifies fluctuations and extinction risk. Very long dormancy buffers environmental variability, greatly increasing mean extinction times despite slower growth. Strikingly, (They) find a broad band of intermediate dormancy durations that is maladaptive, simultaneously reducing both growth and persistence due to a mismatch between delay times and environmental autocorrelation. >>

<< ️An evolutionary agent-based model confirms bistability between short- and long-dormancy strategies, which avoid intermediate lag times and evolve toward stable extremes. >>

<< ️These (AA) results show that dormancy duration is not merely a life-history parameter but an adaptive mechanism tuned to environmental timescales, and that intermediate "dangerous middle" strategies can be inherently disfavored. More broadly, this work identifies a generic mechanism by which demographic delays interacting with correlated environmental variability produce a non-monotonic fitness landscape that selects for extreme timing strategies. >>

# gst: instability triggered by mixed convection in a thin fluid layer.

<< ️(AA) investigate the convective stability of a thin, infinite fluid layer with a rectangular cross-section, subject to imposed heat fluxes at the top and bottom and fixed temperature along the vertical sides. The instability threshold depends on the Prandtl number as well as the normalized flux difference (f) and decreases with the aspect ratio (ϵ), following a ϵf^−1 power law. >>

<< ️Using 3D initial value and 2D eigenvalue calculations, (They) identify a dominant 3D mode characterized by two transverse standing waves attached to the domain edges. (They) characterize the dominant mode’s frequency and transverse wave number as functions of the Rayleigh number and aspect ratio. An analytical asymptotic solution for the base state in the bulk is obtained, valid over most of the domain and increasingly accurate for lower aspect ratios. >>

<< A local stability analysis, based on the analytical base state, reveals oscillatory transverse instabilities consistent with the global instability characteristics. The source term for this most unstable mode appears to be interactions between vertical shear and horizontal temperature gradients. >>

# gst: symmetries at the origin of hierarchical emergence.

<< ️Many systems of interest exhibit nested emergent layers with their own rules and regularities, and our knowledge about them seems naturally organised around these levels. This (AA) paper proposes that this type of hierarchical emergence arises as a result of underlying symmetries. By combining principles from information theory, group theory, and statistical mechanics, one finds that dynamical processes that are equivariant with respect to a symmetry group give rise to emergent macroscopic levels organised into a hierarchy determined by the subgroups of the symmetry. >>

<< ️The same symmetries happen to also shape Bayesian beliefs, yielding hierarchies of abstract belief states that can be updated autonomously at different levels of resolution. These results are illustrated in Hopfield networks and Ehrenfest diffusion, showing that familiar macroscopic quantities emerge naturally from their symmetries. Together, these results suggest that symmetries provide a fundamental mechanism for emergence and support a structural correspondence between objective and epistemic processes, making feasible inferential problems that would otherwise be computationally intractable. >>

# gst: degrees of universality in wave turbulence

<< ️Turbulence of weakly interacting waves displays a great deal of universality: independence of the details of the interaction and of the pumping and dissipation scales. Here (AA) study how inverse turbulent cascades (from small to large scales) transition from weak to strong. (They) find that while one-loop corrections can be dependent on excitation and dissipation scales, new types of universality appear in strong turbulence. (They) contrast turbulence of spin waves in ferromagnets with turbulent cascades in the Nonlinear Schrödinger Equation (NSE) and in an MMT-like (Majda-McLaughlin-Tabak) model in higher dimensions having a multiplicative interaction vertex: vertex renormalization gives rise to dependence on the pumping (UV scale) in the former but not in the latter. >>

<< ️As a result of this spectral nonlocality, spin-wave turbulence stops being weak if one is sufficiently far from the pumping scale, even when the interaction of waves with comparable wavenumbers is weak. (AA) paraphrase this as: nonlocality enhances nonlinearity. >>

<< ️(AA) then describe strong turbulence in a multi-component version of these models with a large number of components. (They) argue that strong spin-wave turbulence is similar to turbulence of the focusing NSE, as it realizes a critical-balance state. However, UV nonlocality causes the level of spin-wave turbulence at large scales to decrease with increasing pumping level, culminating in a state that is independent of the level of pumping. >>

# brain: meditative absorption shifts brain dynamics toward criticality.

<< ️Criticality describes a regime between order and chaos that supports flexible yet stable information processing. Here (AA) examine whether neural dynamics can be volitionally shifted toward criticality through the self-regulation of attention. >>

<< (They) examined ten experienced practitioners of meditation during a 10-day retreat, comparing refined states of meditative absorption, called the jhanas, to regular mindfulness of breathing. (They) collected electroencephalography (EEG) and physiological data during these practices and quantified the signal's dynamical properties using Lempel-Ziv complexity, signal entropy, chaoticity and long-range temporal correlations. In addition, (They) estimated perturbational sensitivity using a global auditory oddball mismatch negativity (MMN) during meditation. >>

<< ️Relative to mindfulness, jhana was associated with pronounced self-reported sensory fading, slower respiration, higher neural signal diversity across multiple measures, reduced chaoticity, and enhanced MMN amplitude over frontocentral sites. Spectral analyses showed a flatter aperiodic one over f component and a frequency-specific reorganization of long-range temporal correlations. Together, increased diversity with reduced chaoticity and heightened deviance detection indicate a shift toward a metastable, near-critical regime during jhana. >>

<< ️(AA) propose an overlap of the phenomenology of jhana with minimal phenomenal experiences in terms of progressive attenuation of sensory content with preserved tonic alertness. Accordingly, (Their) findings suggest that criticality is a candidate neurophysiological marker of the absorptive, minimal-content dimension of the minimal phenomenal experience. >>

# gst: apropos of Parrondo paradox, controlling quantum chaos via Parrondo strategies on noisy intermediate-scale quantum hardware

In this work (AA) explore and control quantum chaos in NISQ systems using discrete-time quantum walks (DTQWs) on cyclic graphs. To efficiently implement quantum walks on NISQ hardware, (They) employ the quantum Fourier transform to diagonalize the conditional shift operator, optimizing circuit depth and fidelity. >>

# gst: prone to flooding or steady planing state transitions; dynamics of levitation during rolling over a thin viscous film.

<< ️A mathematical model is derived for the dynamics of a cylinder, or wheel, rolling over a thin viscous film. The model combines the Reynolds lubrication equation for the fluid with an equation of motion for the wheel. Two asymptotic limits are studied in detail to interrogate the dynamics of levitation: an infinitely wide wheel and a relatively narrow one. In both cases the front and back of the fluid-filled gap are either straight or nearly so. >>

<< ️To bridge the gap between these two asymptotic limits, wheels of finite width are considered, introducing a further simplying approximation: although the front and back are no longer expected to remain straight for a finite width, the footprint of the fluid-filled gap is still taken to be rectangular, with boundary conditions imposed at the front and back in a wheel-averaged sense. The Reynolds equation can then be solved by separation of variables. >>

<< ️For wider wheels, with a large amount of incoming flux or a relatively heavy loading of the wheel, the system is prone to flooding by back flow with fluid unable to pass underneath. Otherwise steady planing states are achieved. >>

<< ️Both lift-off and touch-down are explored for a wheel rolling over a film of finite length. Theoretical predictions are compared with a set of experimental data. >>

<< ️In this letter, (AA) demonstrate that the changes observed in swarmalator dynamics are governed by changes in the system's topology. To provide a deeper understanding of these changes, (They) present a topological framework for the swarmalator system and determine the topological charge Q and the helicity γ of the corresponding topology. Investigations on synchronization and transition to synchronization are studied using this topological charge and the variance of the helicity. >>

# gst: turbulence at low Reynolds numbers.

<< ️Turbulence -- ubiquitous in nature and engineering alike  -- is traditionally viewed as an intrinsically inertial phenomenon, emerging only when the Reynolds number (Re), which quantifies the ratio of inertial to dissipative forces, far exceeds unity. >>

<< ️Here, (AA) demonstrate that strong energy flux between different length scales of motion -- a defining hallmark of turbulence -- can persist even at Re ~ 1, thereby extending the known regime of turbulent flows beyond the classical high-Re paradigm. (They) show that scale-to-scale energy transfer can be recast as a mechanical process between turbulent stress and large-scale flow deformation. >>

<< ️In quasi-two-dimensional (quasi-2D) flows driven by electromagnetic forcing, (They) introduce directionally biased perturbations that enhance this interaction, amplifying the spectral energy flux by more than two orders of magnitude, even in the absence of dominant inertial forces. >>

<< ️This (AA) study establishes a new regime of 2D Navier-Stokes (N-S) turbulence, challenging long-standing assumptions about the high Re conditions required for turbulent flows. Beyond revising classical belief, (Their) results offer a generalizable strategy for engineering multiscale transport in flows that lack inertial dominance, such as those found in microfluidic and low-Re biological systems. >>
