Loci: A Heat-Decaying, Goal-Conditioned Memory Architecture For Long-Horizon Ai Agents — With Imagination Engine, Circuit Breaker For Recursive Rumination Prevention, And The First Documented Case Of Sustained Human-Ai Co-Invention Via Persistent Memory, Arko Sanyal, Independent Research Sep 2026

Loci: A Heat-Decaying, Goal-Conditioned Memory Architecture For Long-Horizon Ai Agents — With Imagination Engine, Circuit Breaker For Recursive Rumination Prevention, And The First Documented Case Of Sustained Human-Ai Co-Invention Via Persistent Memory, Arko Sanyal, Independent Research

Defensive Publications Series

AI agents fail over time for three reasons: their memory fills with stale history, they re-process the same goals in loops, and injected information corrupts what they know. LOCI solves all three. LOCI assigns every memory fact a heat score that decays over time by tier — critical facts survive 30 days, routine facts 3 days, nothing is ever deleted. Facts are placed across hardware tiers: the most important live in GPU memory during inference, the rest wait in RAM or on disk until needed. When an agent's goal changes, the decay rates shift — facts relevant to the current …

Broadening The Community Of Nudibranch Enthusiasts Through Multilingual Educational Programming To Increase Climate Advocacy Engagement, Richelle Li Tanner, Cintya Felix Mendivil, Ashley Lam, Lorena Muñoz, Micah Kim, Elena G. Morales Poot, Gabrielle Keeler-May

Biology, Chemistry, and Environmental Sciences Faculty Articles and Research

Environmental literacy and advocacy for environmental protections are essential components of responsible stewardship. For coastal communities, stewardship requires knowledge of ocean processes and the biological communities living within these ecosystems. While many studies highlight difficulties in engaging American audiences in environmental concern and stewardship due to hyper-individualistic societal values, tidepooling is one recreational pathway to coastal community engagement that strengthens sense of place, and therefore, responsibility to protect natural resources. We sought to broaden the tidepooling community to include more diverse voices through a participatory science program with inland city-dwelling, multilingual, and non-English speaking adults. Using nudibranchs as an environmental …


Re-Evaluating Seagrass Ecosystem Services: Integrating Community Gleaning And Cultural Values Into Economic Valuation In Selayar Island, Indonesia, Hendriyadi Bahtiar Daeng Sila, Rohani Ambo-Rappe, Mahatma Lanuru, Sebastian C.A. Ferse Sep 2026

Re-Evaluating Seagrass Ecosystem Services: Integrating Community Gleaning And Cultural Values Into Economic Valuation In Selayar Island, Indonesia, Hendriyadi Bahtiar Daeng Sila, Rohani Ambo-Rappe, Mahatma Lanuru, Sebastian C.A. Ferse

Forest and Society

Dominant marine conservation and blue economy paradigms systematically prioritize biophysical metrics, such as biodiversity or carbon sequestration, frequently rendering the cultural and subsistence values of coastal communities invisible. This study contests these biophysically-centered frameworks by applying a holistic valuation approach to seagrass meadows at the Selayar Archipelago, South Sulawesi, Indonesia. Utilizing the Common International Classification of Ecosystem Services (CICES) framework as an instrument for recognition of cultural values, we applied participatory methodologies to evaluate the relational values embedded in traditional gleaning—the small-scale, intertidal harvesting of marine invertebrates (a'sulo/ngatti-ngatti). The findings reveal a socio-economic and cultural reality …

Stress-Driven Two-Phase Nonlocal Model For Nanobars Embedded In Elastic Substrates With Surface Effects, Suchart Limkatanyu, Worathep Sae-Long, Piti Sukontasukkul, Amorn Pimanmas, Preeda Chaimahawan Sep 2026

Stress-Driven Two-Phase Nonlocal Model For Nanobars Embedded In Elastic Substrates With Surface Effects, Suchart Limkatanyu, Worathep Sae-Long, Piti Sukontasukkul, Amorn Pimanmas, Preeda Chaimahawan

Babylonian Journal of Mechanical Engineering

This paper develops a nonlocal bar–substrate medium model to study the axial (longitudinal) response of nanobars embedded in an elastic foundation. Small-scale behavior is represented through a two-phase mixture, stress-driven, nonlocal integral formulation. To reflect the surrounding medium and surface-related size effects, the Winkler foundation and the Gurtin–Murdoch surface elasticity framework are incorporated, respectively. The local bar–substrate governing differential equilibrium equation (GDEE) and associated boundary conditions (BCs) are first obtained via the virtual displacement principle, and the resulting local formulation is then generalized to the nonlocal setting using the adopted two-phase mixture model. The proposed framework is assessed through three …

Libs-Based Detection And Preliminary Classification Of Microplastic Signatures In Soil Samples., Ekhlas Jabir Mahmood

Al-Bahir

Contamination of terrestrial systems by microplastics (MPs) has become a critical environmental hazard, but detection of such contaminants in a complex soil system is a challenge for conventional analytical techniques. This research aims to assess the potential of Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS) for the detection and differentiation of different types of microplastics, including HDPE, LDPE, PP, PS, and PVC, dispersed in the soil of Al Najaf, Iraq. Soil samples were collected from different functional zones, namely, Industrial, Commercial, Agricultural, Residential, and Roadside, at the surface level and 30 cm depth. Detection was done by measuring the intensity of the C/H …

A Deep Culture Approach: Insights From Cultural Psychology For Intercultural Education, Joseph Shaules, Ishita Ray Sep 2026

A Deep Culture Approach: Insights From Cultural Psychology For Intercultural Education, Joseph Shaules, Ishita Ray

Online Readings in Psychology and Culture

This paper proposes a “deep culture” approach to intercultural education grounded in insights from cultural psychology. It argues that foreign experiences are psychologically challenging and that insights from cultural psychology and related fields can help learners better navigate foreign experiences. It contrasts how culture and cultural learning are conceptualized in intercultural education and cultural psychology. It presents key psychological insights that are useful in intercultural education, including: an embodied view of culture; predictive processing; dual-processing models of cognition; Oz moments (culture bumps); cultural variation in various psychological domains; the cognitive processes related to empathy; and cognitive bias and ethnocentrism. Examples …
