Cross-disciplinary work without one defensible primary scientific field.
A synthesis of flocking models, social networks and fish trajectory data suggests that stable alignment can coexist with selective attention, temporary leadership and critical-like turning cascades.

A large Web of Science network analysis finds that China's high share of domestic citations is substantially explained by publication scale, while its relative home bias has declined and its research disruption has moved closer to Western levels.

A benchmark of 12 open-weight models found partial agreement with human behavioral anchors, but no result met the study's highest certification tier.

In simulations of networked oscillators, a dynamics-based choice of sentinel nodes retained high performance for two warning signals compared with monitoring every node.

A Dutch preprint reports lower right-wing vote shares in more exposed neighbourhoods, alongside a density-linked pattern and signs of a possible reversal at higher exposure.

A model of random hypergraphs found that the (2, 2) core could emerge gradually at low anchor probability but jump abruptly at high anchor probability. The same pattern appeared under second-neighbor pruning, while stronger connectivity requirements were associated with denser hypergraphs.

A modeling study combining equations, simulations and biological network data finds that redundant directed-network cores appear at the same predicted failure threshold as connected cores, but grow more slowly.

A Chilean analysis suggests that a power-law-like pattern in pooled human travel may arise from mixing different spatial scales of movement rather than from a scale-free rule shared by individuals.

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.

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.
