# gst: an analysis of the phenomenon of chaotic itinerancy.

AA << introduce a new methodology for the analysis of the phenomenon of chaotic itinerancy in a dynamical system using the notion of entropy and a clustering algorithm. (They) determine systems likely to experience chaotic itinerancy by means of local Shannon entropy and local permutation entropy. In such systems, we find quasi-stable states (attractor ruins) and chaotic transition states using a density-based clustering algorithm. >>

Their << ️approach then focuses on examining the chaotic itinerancy dynamics through the characterization of residence times within these states and chaotic transitions between them with the help of some statistical tests. The effectiveness of these methods is demonstrated on two systems that serve as well-known models exhibiting chaotic itinerancy: globally coupled logistic maps (GCM) and mutually coupled Gaussian maps. >>

<< ️Although the phenomenon of chaotic itinerancy is often associated with high dimensional systems, (They) were able to provide evidence for the presence of this phenomenon in the studied low-dimensional systems. >>

# behav: souvenir collector's walk; the distribution of the number of steps of a continuous-time random walk ending at a given position.

AA << consider a random walker performing a continuous-time random walk (CTRW) with a symmetric step lengths' distribution possessing a finite second moment and with a power-law waiting time distribution with finite or diverging first moment. The problem (They) pose concerns the distribution of the number of steps of the corresponding CTRW conditioned on the final position of the walker at some long time 𝑡. >>

<< ️For positions within the scaling domain of the probability density function (PDF) of final displacements, the distributions of the number of steps show a considerable amount of universality, and are different in the cases when the corresponding CTRW corresponds to subdiffusion and to normal diffusion. >>

They << ️moreover note that the mean value of the number of steps can be obtained independently and follows from the solution of the Poisson equation whose right-hand side depends on the PDF of displacements only. >>

<< ️This approach works not only in the scaling domain but also in the large deviation domain of the corresponding PDF, where the behavior of the mean number of steps is very sensitive to the details of the waiting time distribution beyond its power-law asymptotics. >>

# gst: reversible switching due to attraction and repulsion: clusters, gaps, sorting, and mixing.

AA << ️describe a phase transition in continuum limits of interacting particle systems that exhibits a vertical bifurcation diagram. The transition is mediated by a competition short-range repulsion and long-range attraction. As a consequence of the transition, infinitesimal parameter variations allow switching between uniform distribution and clusters in single-species models, and between mixed and sorted states in multi-species contexts, without hysteresis. >>

Their << main technical contribution is a universal expansion for the size of vacuum bubbles that arise in this phase transition and a quantitative analysis of the effect of noise. >>

# life: on the conversational persuasiveness of AI GPT-4.

<< Early work has found that large language models (LLMs) can generate persuasive content. However, evidence on whether they can also personalize arguments to individual attributes remains limited, despite being crucial for assessing misuse. This preregistered study examines AI-driven persuasion in a controlled setting, where participants engaged in short multiround debates. Participants were randomly assigned to 1 of 12 conditions in a 2 × 2 × 3 design: (1) human or GPT-4 debate opponent; (2) opponent with or without access to sociodemographic participant data; (3) debate topic of low, medium or high opinion strength. In debate pairs where AI and humans were not equally persuasive, GPT-4 with personalization was more persuasive 64.4% of the time (81.2% relative increase in odds of higher post-debate agreement; 95% confidence interval [+26.0%, +160.7%], P < 0.01; N = 900). (AA) findings highlight the power of LLM-based persuasion and have implications for the governance and design of online platforms. >>

# gst: breakdown of stochastic resonance in complex networks

<< ️In networked systems, stochastic resonance (SR) occurs as a collective phenomenon where the entire stochastic network resonates with a weak applied periodic signal. Beyond the interplay among the network coupling, the amplitude of the external periodic signal, and the intensity of stochastic fluctuations, the maintenance of stochastic resonance also crucially depends on the resonance capacity of each oscillator composing the network. This scenario raises the question: Can local defects in the ability of oscillators to resonate break down the stochastic resonance phenomenon in the entire network?  >>

https://journals.aps.org/pre/abstract/10.1103/fc2t-275m

<< ️First, (AA) found that the combinations of network coupling and noise intensity for the maintenance of SR form tongue-like structures, specifying different optimal values of these parameters depending on the number of non-resonant units. Subsequently, (They) verified that, counter-intuitively, increasing the network coupling intensity causes SR to globally fail in the presence of a few non-resonant oscillators. Additionally, the upper limit of the coupling intensity diminishes as the number of nonresonant units increases. Moreover, (They) observed that for the maintenance of SR in (Their) network, the number of non-resonant oscillators is a nonlinear function of their dissimilarity level. >>

# gst: apropos of monopoles with internal degrees of freedom

AA << ️consider a class of spontaneously broken SU(2) gauge theories with adjoint scalar and look for exact magnetic monopole solutions in the Bogomol'nyi--Prasad--Sommerfield (BPS) limit. (They) find that some of the resulting solutions exhibit a new internal degree of freedom (a moduli space parameter) that controls the energy density profile of the monopole while keeping the total energy (mass) constant. >>

# brain: ubiquity of uncertainty in neuron systems.

AA << demonstrate that final-state uncertainty is ubiquitous in multistable systems of coupled neuronal maps, meaning that predicting whether one such system will eventually be chaotic or nonchaotic is often nearly impossible. (They) propose a "chance synchronization" mechanism that governs the emergence of unpredictability in neuron systems and support it by using basin classification, uncertainty exponent, and basin entropy techniques to analyze five simple discrete-time systems, each consisting of a different neuron model. >>

Their << ️results illustrate that uncertainty in neuron systems is not just a product of noise or high-dimensional complexity; it is also a fundamental property of low-dimensional, deterministic models, which has profound implications for understanding brain function, modeling cognition, and interpreting unpredictability in general multistable systems. >>
