When to Trust Imagination: Adaptive Action Execution for World Action Models

This paper proposes an adaptive execution framework for World Action Models that employs a lightweight Future Forward Dynamics Causal Attention verifier to dynamically adjust action chunk sizes based on prediction-reality consistency, thereby significantly improving both the efficiency and success rate of robotic manipulation tasks.

Changing the Game: Status-Quo Inertia, Institutional Design, and Equilibrium Transition

This paper argues that when economic reforms face status-quo inertia in coordination games, interventions that alter the feasible action space—such as deleting or replacing options—are more effective at shifting equilibria than marginal price-based incentives, because they fundamentally change the strategic structure rather than merely adjusting payoffs within an entrenched system.

BB plot: A Tool for Accurate Model Selection Using Bayes factors

This paper introduces the Bayes factor-Bayes factor (BB) plot, a diagnostic tool that leverages the relationship between Bayes factors and their distributions under competing hypotheses to validate calculation accuracy and efficiently estimate background distributions, as demonstrated through applications in gravitational wave astronomy including the statistical significance assessment of GW231123.

Fault-tolerant syndrome extraction in [[n,1,3]] non-CSS code family generated using measurements on graph states

This paper introduces a family of fault-tolerant [[n,1,3]][[n,1,3]] non-CSS quantum error-correcting codes generated via graph states and the bare-ancilla method, demonstrating their resilience against hook errors and superior performance compared to existing flag-qubit and bare-ancilla approaches under various noise models.

Gas Phase Distribution in the Neutral ISM: A Comparison between Observation and Numerical Simulation

This study compares Hi 21-cm emission-absorption observations from the GWA and LAB surveys with TIGRESS numerical simulations to determine that the neutral interstellar medium consists of approximately 19.8% cold, 32.5% unstable, and 47.8% warm phases, a distribution that aligns with simulation results and highlights the need for future sensitive radio observations to further constrain these gas fractions.

A Call to Lagrangian Action: Learning Population Mechanics from Temporal Snapshots

This paper introduces Wasserstein Lagrangian Mechanics (WLM), a novel framework and algorithm that learns second-order population dynamics from temporal snapshots by minimizing a damped action, thereby overcoming the limitations of gradient flows to accurately model complex behaviors like periodicity, vortex dynamics, and flocking.

A Sample of Active Galactic Nuclei with Intermediate-mass Black Holes Extended to zz \approx 0.6

This paper presents a uniformly selected sample of 930 intermediate-mass black hole active galactic nuclei from SDSS DR17, extending the redshift coverage of low-mass AGNs to z0.6z \approx 0.6 and revealing a potential cosmic evolution in accretion activity characterized by declining maximum accretion rates and luminosities at lower redshifts.
