PEER-REVIEWED · AIP ADVANCES

Published journal article

Structural compression now has a peer-reviewed mechanistic foundation.

The AIP Advances article derives, for a defined class of nearly unstable linear stochastic systems, why the stationary covariance spectrum concentrates as a fold bifurcation is approached. Under assumptions A1–A4, the dominant covariance eigenvalue diverges while the remaining eigenvalues stay bounded, implying Φ(Σ) → 1.

Scope: mechanism-specific, not universal; the paper explicitly excludes defective eigenvalue structures, unexcited critical modes, high-dimensional bulk dominance, and exogenous shock dynamics.

The Architecture of Self-Correction: Feedback, Intervention Authority and Hidden Loss of Robustness in a Minimal Partially Observed Control Model

In a minimal partially observed bounded-disturbance control model, ArchSC v0.12 establishes robust-viability conditions and demonstrates that declining intervention authority can remain observationally indistinguishable within a precisely specified range. Results are model-specific; broader cross-domain implications remain hypotheses.

Evidence status: Mathematical model and reproducibility package; preprint, not peer reviewed. Independent review and two prior-art leads remain unverified.

Viability Corridors in a Cooperative Socio-Institutional Model: Exact Resource Thresholds, Latent-State Identifiability and Numerical Viability Bounds

BenchEWS Viability Corridor v1.4 derives an exact resource threshold for a specific synthetic cooperative model and reports qualified numerical viability bounds. It does not make empirical predictions about societies.

01 / Verified publication chronology

The development of the research question.

The chronology shows both continuity and change: critical system transitions and the corrective role of information form the long-term thread. BenchEWS is today’s methodologically narrowed expression of that concern.

Entries through September 9, 2026 were reconciled with their available ORCID or version-specific Zenodo records. The short notes are editorial assessments for orientation.

02 / Epistemic boundary

How to read this chronology.

An ORCID or Zenodo record documents authorship and public availability. It does not by itself establish peer review, independent replication or empirical validation. The earlier works are presented as engineering and intellectual antecedents—not retrospectively as BenchEWS papers.

00C / Automatically synchronized from Zenodo

New records appear here automatically.

Bibliographic metadata, DOI, version and publication date are synchronized from the author's Zenodo portfolio. Topic placement and editorial summaries remain curated local metadata.

Fail-safe behavior: if Zenodo is temporarily unavailable, the website keeps the last successfully synchronized local snapshot. · Last snapshot: October 29, 2026

Spectral compression of the stationary covariance matrix as a structural precursor to systemic transitions: A Lyapunov–resolvent analysis

The AIP Advances article provides a peer-reviewed publication milestone for the spectral-compression line of the BenchEWS / CRTI research programme.

Evidence boundary: Peer review establishes publication status; it does not by itself establish universal cross-domain validity or deterministic prediction.

Self-Correction Loss as a Candidate Early-Warning Target: Positioning the BenchEWS Research Programme Across Cybernetics, Resilience, Learning, and Critical-Transition Research

A Comparative Positioning and Falsifiability Study

The study positions BenchEWS across cybernetics, resilience, learning, control, and critical-transition research. Its result is deliberately narrow: a candidate measurement-science programme organized around a non-scalar O/F/D/R/V profile of self-correction degradation and possible recovery.

Evidence boundary: Published positioning, formalization, and falsifiability study; no empirical validation, demonstrated predictive advantage, or validated cross-domain transfer.
