Policy Drift in Learning AI Agents: A Dynamical Systems Perspective on Security Degradation

Policy drift takes shape through a nonlinear differential equation - framed within the policy state space - with support from Lyapunov stability concepts alongside bifurcation methods alongside bifurcation methods, and the Intent Drift Rate appears: a concrete number per dialogue turn built as the time-based change in...

Reconstructing the Dark Forest as a Bayesian Game: Exact Conditions for Concealment, Pre-emption and Credible Contact

The Dark Forest hypothesis treats cosmic silence as the strategic consequence of uncertainty, catastrophic vulnerability and incentives for pre-emptive attack. Its central conclusion is usually stated intuitively rather than derived from an explicit incomplete-information game. This paper develops the Bayesian Dark For...

Reliability Beyond Accuracy in Crop Classification Benchmarks (Supplementary Materials)

Reliability Beyond Accuracy in Crop Classification Benchmarks (Supplementary Materials)Introduction: Near-perfect crop-label accuracy can conceal uncertainty, perturbation sensitivity, and weak explanations. This study evaluates these reliability dimensions without treating benchmark classification as agronomic recomme...

Atypical Failure, Maximal Consequence: Bayesian Character Inference, Threshold Outcome Luck, and Multiplicative Punishment Cascades

This conceptual article develops a formal theory of atypical human failure in which severe life-course consequences can emerge from a conjunction of adverse conditions, a low-frequency behavioural lapse, stochastic outcome mechanics, categorical legal or institutional thresholds, and dynamically propagating collateral...

The Counterfactual Preservation Principle: Evidence Decay and the Limits of AI Delegation

AI delegation can remove the comparison evidence needed to establish whether automation continues to improve outcomes. This paper develops the counterfactual preservation principle: sustained claims of current comparative benefit require a continuing source of identification whose temporal relevance remains defensible....

Requirements Don’t Live in Isolation: What We’re Exploring with Req-Space

Requirements in large systems rarely exist in isolation. Their meaning depends on the wider project context - other requirements, policies, decisions, tests, and implementation details. That becomes especially important when AI is used for review, because spotting a possible conflict or gap is only the beginning. ReqSpace explores how AI, visualisation, and connected project context can help reviewers understand those findings, trace the relationships behind them, and focus on the questions that…

Beyond Prompt Engineering: The Role of Tacit Knowledge in Software Engineering

AI is making software generation faster, but speed does not remove the need for expertise. As more work is delegated to AI, tacit knowledge may become one of the most important human advantages in software engineering. The post Beyond Prompt Engineering: The Role of Tacit Knowledge in Software Engineering appeared first on GPT-Lab.
