Abstract

Classical reinforcement learning (RL) and decision theory rely on Kolmogorovian probability spaces and independent utility metrics. These models fail to capture non-commutative cognitive framing, question order effects, and collective voter gridlocks observed in human surveys and Web3 decentralized autonomous organization (DAO) governance. Here we introduce a Quantum-Cognitive Reinforcement Learning (Q-AI) Policy Agent governed by Penrose Orchestrated Objective Reduction (Orch-OR) statevector collapse (tau = hbar / E_G) under Lindblad open-system thermal dephasing (T = 310 K). We validate our architecture against two empirical datasets:1. Human Survey Cognition: Achieving a 98% coefficient of determination (R² = 0.98) fitting Gallup national survey question order effects and 84% accuracy on the Linda conjunction fallacy.2. Web3 DAO Governance: Validating across 835,000 real Snapshot DAO votes (Uniswap, Arbitrum, Optimism, Gitcoin, Aave), achieving an 86.7% Mean Absolute Error reduction (1.3% MAE vs 9.8% classical linear models) and demonstrating that N-qubit GHZ statevector entanglement doubles public-good proposal consensus approval rates from 40% to 80%. Code, PyPI library (pip install q-ai-governance), and live visualizers are available at: https://github.com/JonathanReiser/quantum-orch-or

AI-Enabled Performance-Based Procurement and Life-Cycle Maintenance of Highway Bridges: Integrating Single-Bid Risk Analytics and PPP Payment Optimization

Model-based life-cycle evaluation indicates that AI-optimized PPP contracts reduce bridges reaching emergency condition by 30%–40% over a 30-year horizon while lowering life-cycle costs by 8%–12% compared with rule-based policies, providing infrastructure agencies and private concessionaires with an integrated AI-driven life-cycle management platform.

Residual RL on a PSO-tuned Fuzzy Controller for Mobile Robot Trajectory Tracking

This paper presents a two-wheeled mobile robot trajectory-tracking controller combining a particle swarm optimization (PSO)-tuned fuzzy logic controller (FLC) with a residual reinforcement learning (RL) correction layer.PSO tuning reduces the global distance error by 35% and the integral absolute error by 44% over the initial FLC.The residual RL layer further reduces the global distance error by approximately 2.3% and improves cornering-region tracking by 3.9% in RMSE, 4.7% in IAE, and 5.2% in peak distance error.The proposed controller also reduces the global distance error by 41% and 66% relative to independently tuned PID and fuzzy-PID baselines.Trained across four trajectory families with a held-out test split, the generalized agent reduces the average test distance error by 18% relative to the tuned FLC baseline.These results show that a lightweight residual correction improves both accuracy and generalization while preserving the fuzzy controller's interpretability.
