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

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

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,

Economies of scale and the equity-efficiency trade-off: Evidence from a piped water network in rural Bangladesh
Policymakers who set prices for public infrastructure often anticipate an equity-efficiency trade-off: while higher prices could increase revenues from fee-paying users, helping to offset costs, they may reduce take-up among the poor. But this trade-off is fundamentally altered in the presence of economies of scale, which are common in infrastructure networks. We elicit willingness to pay for a household-level piped drinking water connection in rural Bangladesh, where truthful revelation of pref

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

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
