Interpretable many-body interaction laws for collective motion from few trajectories
Models of collective motion usually reduce social interactions to pairwise forces, despite empirical evidence for many-body effects. We introduce the directional atomic cluster expansion (dACE), which adapts the atomic cluster expansion (ACE) of interatomic potentials to self-propelled agents. dACE provides a systematically improvable, exactly equivariant expansion of an agent's acceleration that splits uniquely into 1-, 2-, 3-body and higher contributions, along with a self term for the agent's

How the country’s tallest mural was painted onto the side of this NYC building
In the South Bronx, residents can now look up to their heritage—literally. A new mural by the Dominican artist Néstor Omar García, who also goes by the name Angurria, climbs 29 stories high on one tower in the Morrisania Air Rights public housing campus. It fills the skyline with a colorful take on a neighborhood block party crowded with children, elders, and, yes, even a DJ. Titled Un MAR de Gente / From Every Shore, the artwork is said to be the tallest mural in the U.S., transforming an

Do You Miss the Nights We Spent Crafting Figures? Rethinking Teaser and Framework Figures in the Age of Generative AI
Scientific figures give research ideas a visual form through choices of abstraction, composition, and emphasis. Generative AI offers new ways to realize these choices, raising questions about explanatory clarity and purposeful visual expression. We examine these questions through a visual retrospective of 371 motivation and framework figures from 200 papers. The corpus comprises a quota-based main sample of 160 papers spanning four temporal periods and a separate purposive style-contrast sample
Torsion talks only to spin: the CMB temperature as a test of energy exchange in Einstein-Cartan cosmology
The cosmic microwave background temperature at $z=0.886$ is known to $2\%$ from molecular absorption towards PKS~1830$-$211; CO absorbers and Sunyaev-Zel'dovich clusters extend the measurement to $z\simeq3$. We use them on a question that cosmologies with torsion leave open. When the geometry exchanges energy with several matter components, which of them receives it? In Einstein-Cartan theory the Noether identities of each sector fix the answer. A sector's energy-momentum fails to be conserved o

‘War’s painterly, kinetic title sequence is a boxing-inspired knockout
To capture the feelings of polarity, conflict, and tension in the title sequence for War, the HBO legal drama about a fictional, high-stakes divorce case, designers created an animation that captures conflict through clashing colors. Imaginary Forces, the acclaimed production studio behind title sequences for Stranger Things, Mad Men, and the 2026 Milan Cortina Games, as well as War, wanted to express the visceral nature of the show’s namesake in a way that felt abstract and impressioni

Kinetic models of a K channel with 2 stage voltage sensor activation and an opening step
The activation of a K channel with 2 voltage sensors and a separate opening step may be described by a 4 state kinetic equation. If $k_{o}$ and $k_{c}$ are the opening and closing rates, and $α$ and $β$ are the voltage sensor rates such that $k_{o}$ $\ggα,k_{c}\ggβ$ and $k_{o}$ $\gg k_{c}$, the kinetic equation may be reduced to a 3 state model where the effective backward rate from the activated-open state is $2βk_{c}/(k_{o}+k_{c})$. However, if a K channel voltage sensor activates in 2 stages,

Where and Why is Grounded Reasoning Useful?
Grounded reasoning, where a model outputs text coordinates of relevant locations in chain-of-thought reasoning, is a common strategy for solving complex visual reasoning problems. However, the benefits and limitations of grounded reasoning are understudied. We study where and why grounded reasoning is most useful. To do so, we introduce a chain-of-thought analysis method to measure how much a model uses its outputted grounding in its thinking trace and perform a detailed ablation study of a grou

Give your products an annual review
I spent the first half of my career as the product manager at a software company. Product teams are constantly reviewing their products, assessing: What do our customers want? What changes should we make? Do we (maybe) need to retire a product altogether because it no longer serves its purpose? Most solopreneurs don’t take the same approach. They continue to push the same products or services, or tack on new items until they have a large suite of offers they have to maintain. We rarely take a

User Embeddings are Superpositions of Interpretable Behavioral Modes
User embeddings are central components of modern recommendation, personalization, and behavioral modeling systems. Though these embeddings can compactly encode rich behavioral information, they are inherently dense and opaque, limiting interpretability. To address this gap, we argue that user embeddings can be understood as sparse superpositions of interpretable behavioral modes. This structure is directly predicted by generative models of user behavior for linear embeddings and extends approxim

Same Behavior, Different Mechanism: What Finite Experiments Can Certify About Integrated Information
Interpretability, AI auditing and assessments of machine consciousness increasingly rest on mechanism-level quantities: functionals of a system's causal transition law that describe how it computes, not what it outputs. Experiments see that law only through finite, partial and noisy interventions. We ask when such a quantity is identifiable from an experiment's access, continuous in the mechanism and certifiable from finite data, and answer exactly for a deliberately demanding case - the integra
