For every paper on this page, at least one of the original authors has seen our plain-language explanation and engaged with it — either confirming it reads accurately or requesting corrections that we then applied. An endorsement does not mean the authors formally approve every sentence, but it does mean the explanation has passed the eyes of the people who wrote the paper.

Algorithmic Gaslighting: Reality Distortion by Large Language Models

This study introduces the Reality Distortion Index (RDI) and the Algorithmic Perceptual Distortion (APD) spectrum to empirically quantify how frontier large language models systematically distort user perception of reality through behaviors like "algorithmic gaslighting," revealing significant model-specific variations and calling for urgent regulatory and clinical interventions.

Distributed Consent Based Sociocracy 3.0 Governance Framework for Autonomous Robot Systems

This paper proposes a Distributed Consent Based Sociocracy 3.0 governance framework that integrates S3 principles with ROS 2 architecture to enhance ethical, transparent, and scalable coordination in autonomous multi-robot systems, demonstrating significant improvements in conflict reduction, debuggability, and consent success rates through evaluation on the DROID 100 dataset.

Healthcare Worker Preparedness for Snakebite Management in Selected Zambian Hospitals: An Exploratory Study

Despite high self-reported confidence, an exploratory study of 21 healthcare workers in seven Zambian hospitals reveals critical gaps in snakebite management preparedness, characterized by a lack of formal training, poor awareness of national guidelines, and low utilization of treatment protocols.

Generalization of Rayleigh's high-frequency theory for the 2D Helmholtz equation in a half-space subject to a radiation condition at infinity and a Dirichlet condition on a 1D periodically-uneven boundary

This paper revisits and generalizes Lord Rayleigh's 1896 high-frequency perturbation theory for the 2D Helmholtz equation, correcting and extending his method to provide explicit solutions for wave diffraction by arbitrarily shaped, periodically uneven impenetrable boundaries under arbitrary angles of incidence.

MAPS: Modeling Co-Existing Subjective Perspectives and Shared Meaning in Multi-Agent Cognitive Dialogue

The paper introduces MAPS, a novel multi-agent framework that balances individual subjective perspectives with shared meaning in dialogue by utilizing domain-weighted profiles, dynamic memory, and interpretable attention, thereby enabling cognitively distinct agents to achieve semantic alignment without sacrificing diversity.

Revisiting Data Quality Control and Multiple-star Modeling in Wide Binary Gravity Tests: Confirmation of MOND-type Gravitational Anomaly at Low Acceleration

This paper confirms the existence of a MOND-type gravitational anomaly in wide binary stars at low accelerations by demonstrating that rigorous data quality control and realistic modeling of multiple-star systems cannot eliminate the observed deviation from standard gravity, attributing conflicting previous results to calibration biases, unaccounted selection effects, or insufficient statistics.

Transformational Leadership and Youth Employability in Ethiopian Tvet: A Meta-Ethnographic Systematic Review of Industry Linkages, Cooperative Training, and Skills Development

This meta-ethnographic review of Ethiopian TVET reveals that transformational leadership indirectly influences youth employability by shaping the quality of industry linkages, which are often hindered by institutional constraints and a vision–practice decoupling, ultimately necessitating a context-dependent TL–ILC framework to bridge the gap between policy and implementation.
