Measuring Frozen Accidents: Path-Dependent Emergence in Complex Adaptive Systems

Emergent order in technologies, living systems, and now learned machines is often a frozen accident: a system reliably organizes, but which organization forms is selected by history, not fixed by fundamentals. This is path dependence: an early lead under increasing returns locks in, as with QWERTY or VHS. Yet our measu...

THE OCCUPATION OPERATOR - Substrate Independence, the Partition Theorem, and Why a Virtue Detector Must Stay Out of the Loop

Abstract Four papers of this programme — on metrics, reward models, constitutions, and schools — reached the same prohibition without noticing they agreed: a virtue detector must never enter the loop that acts on the measured. This paper states the object they were touching from four sides. An agent originates an act....

Compiler Compiler System Translation Pipeline: From Python to TypeScript with Full RealWorld Conformance

Translating an existing application from one general-purpose programming language into another is a long-standing engineering problem with no general solution. Arbitrary source-to-source translation is intractable because the two languages live in different runtime-semantic worlds with significant non-isomorphism in th...

Best-of-N: Inference-Time Compute for Small Language Models

Technical note TR-2026-02, superseding TR-2026-01. We measure what happens when a frozen language model is sampled 128 times perproblem and the result is selected rather than taken as given. On GSM8K,Qwen2.5-0.5B-Instruct goes from 45.3% at a single sample to 66.5% undermajority voting, with no weights modified. Covera...

When Muon Tomography Meets Unknown Cargo: A Falsification Study of High-Z Detection

Can cosmic-ray muons detect hidden high-Z material in unknown cargo? A plain-language summary of a one-day computational study. Quantum Clarity LLC · September 2026 Repository: muon-tomography-lab The short version We built a computer simulation to test whether a particular statistical method could detect a block of de...

darreal44/riemann-weil-phenomenology: v1.5 — The law: ℓ = 11·D_max

Fifth tagged release. (A v1.4 tag exists on d965cf2, Grok's partial freeze of 5 September — 445 commits behind this one, no release; it is kept as history and superseded here.) The law. The depth of the well — the smallest eigenvalue of the windowed Weil form on the window $[0, L]$, $L = \log\mu$ — is a count: the eige...

NGramLang: A Domain-Specific Language for Document Retrieval Using Character N-Grams and Okapi BM25 Ranking

NGramLang is a small domain-specific language and interpreter designed to make the mechanics of document retrieval explicit and executable. Through ten declarative commands, a user loads text documents, aggregates them into a corpus, and ranks them against a free-text query. The language front end is implemented with J...

Three Bets on the Future of Software: Compiler Compiler System AI-Assisted Construction

The conversation about artificial intelligence has narrowed to two competing bets about how human-level capability is built. The first, held by the major frontier labs, is that scaling neural networks produces general intelligence as an emergent property. The second, held by a smaller community in the cognitive-science...

Proof-based general-purpose computing with Magnetar

Zero-knowledge proofs can verify computing results without rerunning workloads or exposing sensitive data. Magnetar helps bring them into the mainstream with support for standard programming languages, major speed gains, and quantum-resistant security. The post Proof-based general-purpose computing with Magnetar appeared first on Microsoft Research.
