A computer model found that cooperation could persist up to a threshold before giving way abruptly to defection. The result concerns synthetic agents in a stylized setup, not direct evidence about human or animal behaviour.
An arXiv preprint models dengue emergence across 1,200 European regional patches under climate, mobility, importation and migration scenarios. It finds large increases in a comparative risk indicator, but the figures are not observed case forecasts.
A qualitative historical analysis reconstructs how Hermann Minkowski’s unpublished notes used space-time geometry to explain relativistic length contraction.
The paper models a hypothetical post-AGI economy in which corporations own machine agents and energy-capture capacity. It argues that production and demand can close within the corporate system even when human consumption is zero, while human welfare can separate from GDP as ownership claims shrink.
