Pipeline

Derives the Bekenstein–Hawking 1/4 factor from null causal geometry alone, via a phase-space reduction chain — no Einstein equations, no microscopic theory. The prefactor is a kinematic consequence of Lorentzian causal structure.

Classical and Quantum Gravity · R1 revision submitted April 2026

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.

Journal of Physics G · double-blind · 1st referee report agreed

Irreversibility emerges from the intersection of quantum mechanics and classical chaos — neither alone suffices. Chaos exponentially amplifies ℏ-scale uncertainty until stable manifolds contract below quantum resolution, making time-reversed trajectories physically inaccessible.

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

Philosophy and Phenomenological Research

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

European Journal for Philosophy of Science

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

Journal of Bioethical Inquiry

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.

Episteme · with referees

An implicit Turing test grounded in Gödel, Löb, and Turing: genuine machine intelligence cannot be closed-system; it requires oracle access to a world that pushes back. Architecture for grounded artificial cognition.

Minds and Machines (Springer)

Dissolves the Boltzmann brain hypothesis through information propagability and Liouville's theorem. Two horns: ex-nihilo brain formation is forbidden by symplectic structure; Poincaré-recurrence variants are philosophically moot.

British Journal for the Philosophy of Science · triple-blind

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.
