A Governed Shared-Kernel Architecture for Persistent, Auditable Multi-Agent Societies Beyond the LLM Session

This paper evaluates "World 8," an experimental shared-kernel architecture that decouples logical actor identity from transient sessions to enforce persistent, auditable, and recoverable multi-agent governance, demonstrating through extensive trials that while generic hardening addresses common faults, the specific governance wrapper is uniquely required to prevent complex authorization and tampering vulnerabilities.

Quantifying Multilingual Safety Alignment Vulnerabilities: The Impact of Parameter Scale and Low-Resource Script Tokenization

This paper empirically demonstrates that while increasing parameter scale improves safety alignment in English, open-weight models remain significantly more vulnerable to jailbreaks when processing low-resource languages like Urdu and Punjabi due to script tokenization fragmentation, revealing critical evaluation blind spots in current safety benchmarks.

Development and Validation of a Localized Large Language Model for Preoperative Anesthesia Planning: Protocol for a Retrospective Observational Study and Clinical Turing Test

This paper outlines a protocol for developing and validating a localized Large Language Model, fine-tuned on 3,000 historical anesthesia records from Istishari Hospital, to generate preoperative anesthesia plans that are evaluated against human expert standards for safety and accuracy in a retrospective "Clinical Turing Test."

Chaotic Maps and Sliding Window Segmentation based Coverless Image Steganography Framework with Enhanced Embedding Capacity

This paper proposes a robust coverless image steganography framework that securely transmits data without altering the carrier image by matching secret bits to the most significant bits of sliding window segments using a sine chaotic map, thereby achieving high resistance to various distortions and steganalysis while maintaining perfect invisibility.

Understanding Attention Allocation, Exploration Dexterity, and the Role of Prior Experience in Stationary VR Consumption: Implications for Scene Design

This study utilizes an eye-tracking investigation of static VR environments to demonstrate that while prior VR experience does not affect a user's willingness to explore, it significantly enhances visual efficiency and reduces cognitive load, ultimately informing evidence-based guidelines for optimizing scene design through strategic element placement and hierarchy.
