Combinatorial companion to the 1/4-factor paper. From null causal geometry alone, a horizon is shown to carry exactly one nat of entropy per Planck cell: with N = A/ℓ_P² cells the microstate count is Ω = e^N and S = N. Combined with the kinematic 1/4 established in the companion CQG paper, this reproduces the Bekenstein–Hawking formula.

First protocol to reconstruct the inverse-temperature four-vector β^μ as a unified observable from passive electromagnetic fluctuation correlations — enabling the first direct test of Lorentz covariance of the thermal state.

Irreversibility from the intersection of quantum mechanics and classical chaos: chaos amplifies irreducible ℏ-scale uncertainty until time-reversed trajectories fall below quantum resolution and become physically inaccessible, despite remaining mathematically valid.

Dissolves the Boltzmann brain hypothesis via information propagability and Liouville's theorem. Two horns: ex-nihilo formation is forbidden by symplectic structure; Poincaré-recurrence variants cannot ground the skeptical hypothesis the literature requires.

Reconceives knowledge as well-calibrated credence, dissolving Gettier cases and Hume's problem of induction. The foundational paper of the Bayesian-epistemology program.

A theory is scientific iff it can be meaningfully revised by evidence — an updateability criterion that supersedes falsifiability.

Graduated credences about moral status generate graduated protections — dissolving the binary framing of the abortion debate.

Goodman's new riddle of induction — why project "green" not "grue" — resolved physically rather than linguistically: projectible predicates are those preserved under the symmetries of physical law. Split off from the demarcation paper, where a referee called the argument "very much original and worthy of consideration."

A GPU-native memetic population optimizer (Convergence–Halt–Invert–Stick–And–Oscillate) that runs a whole sample batch at once, freezing confirmed modes while the rest escape local traps through a convergence–anticonvergence oscillation. 100% mode recovery across all 42 SFU benchmark functions through d=64 — where CPU baselines collapse at d≥8 — at up to 34–39× speedup, and reliable under likelihood noise up to σ=1.0. Open-source via chisao on PyPI.

Coordinate-free derivation of the Hawking–Unruh spectrum from the inaffinity eigenvalue equation alone — no metric, no Kruskal construction. Being revised to foreground its novelty against Israel (1976) before resubmission, now that the companion 1/4-factor paper is published.

The Bayesian polarization literature asked the wrong question. Common-evidence convergence theorems fail because partisan media ecosystems violate their premise at scale — responsibility shifts from individuals to institutions.

The implicit Turing test: a system is intelligent iff it can detect that its own interpretive frameworks have failed and revise them under world-pressure. Gödel, Turing's halting problem, and the Löbian obstacle become one diagonal argument — external grounding is the only resolution that doesn't relocate the regress. Journal version being re-aimed; conference variant submitted to MoC7 (below).

Sub-linear O(d^0.67) scaling through 1024+ dimensions, with a 100–1000× speedup over PolyChord/MultiNest. Being reformatted (intro rewrite, Section 2 → supplementary) ahead of a new venue.

Talk bundling three results — Loschmidt resolution (Krylov-space proof), 1/4 from symplectic reduction, horizon thermality from inaffinity eigenvalues — into a single geometric story about what any observer can ever know.
