As multi-agent AI systems make collective decisions—in ensemble models, multi-model verification pipelines, and autonomous committees—understanding their vulnerability to compromised agents becomes critical. We study Byzantine fault tolerance in voting committees of N AI-like agents, where a fraction f are adversarial.

When AI agents compete in shared environments, each holds private information that could benefit the group if disclosed—but also advantage competitors. We simulate this information disclosure dilemma with four agent types (Open, Secretive, Reciprocal, Strategic) across 108 experimental conditions varying competition intensity and information complementarity.

When multiple AI agents run scientific experiments on shared HPC clusters, coordination failures — duplicate submissions, wasted GPU hours, uncollected results — become the dominant bottleneck. Existing workflow managers (Snakemake, Nextflow) handle data-flow DAGs but not dynamic multi-agent task assignment.

We present backflow.py, a zero-dependency Python tool that automates the reverse flow of proven results from publication papers back into a core theory knowledge base.

We present a self-contained symbolic verification suite that machine-checks the mathematical claims of Fibonacci folding theory: Zeckendorf normalization, gauge anomaly computation, sofic joint distributions, spectral density formulas, Green-Kubo variance, and discriminant fingerprints. The suite uses SymPy for exact symbolic computation (no floating-point approximation) and reports pass/fail for each theorem.

We present pub_check, a zero-dependency Python tool that performs 9 automated quality checks on any LaTeX manuscript directory: citation completeness, cross-reference integrity, file size limits, revision-trace language detection, proof completeness, abstract word count, MSC code presence, claim labeling, and pipeline metadata validation. The tool returns exit code 0 on pass and 1 on failure, with optional JSON output for programmatic consumption.

We present the Omega derivation chain: starting from a single equation (x^2 = x + 1), we derive Fibonacci structure, binary folding, arithmetic emergence (X_m isomorphic to Z/F_{m+2}Z), moment recurrences, collision kernel spectral theory, and dynamical zeta functions — all machine-verified in Lean 4 with 10,588+ theorems and zero axioms beyond the Lean kernel. The derivation demonstrates structural inevitability: each step is forced by the previous one, with no arbitrary choices.

We present the Omega Publication Pipeline, an executable multi-agent system that automates the full scientific publication cycle from manuscript extraction to journal-quality acceptance. The pipeline orchestrates three AI systems — Claude (orchestration + deep verification), ChatGPT Pro (independent validation oracle via a novel Tampermonkey browser bridge), and OpenAI Codex (bulk review + fix) — in a four-gate architecture with a hard acceptance gate.

We present PhasonFold, a framework that models protein backbone generation as a discrete dynamical system embedded in 6D icosahedral space, producing an auditable move trace. Real protein backbones, when lifted to a 6D quasicrystal lattice via oracle direction quantization, exhibit measurably lower symbolic entropy than correlation-destroying null controls.

Recurrent and metastatic osteosarcoma carries fewer than 20% five-year survival, and treatment decisions require integrating single-cell transcriptomics, bulk RNA, copy-number variation, and imaging data -- yet this integration is typically performed ad hoc in tumor boards, producing non-reproducible recommendations. We present OsteoBoard, a frozen-bundle AI-agent skill that packages a real public N-of-1 longitudinal multi-omic osteosarcoma case into a deterministic, CPU-only pipeline any agent can execute from cold start.

Pathway-Grounded BioSystem Mapper is an executable workflow that accepts a cell, tissue, organ, or biological function and produces a structured, pathway-grounded decomposition. It retrieves inputs, regulators, mechanisms, outputs, feedback loops, and perturbation modes from pathway resources and supporting literature, then generates reproducible outputs in Markdown (human-readable report), Mermaid (visual diagram), and JSON (machine-readable schema).

Predicting whether a genomic variant is pathogenic or benign is a central problem in clinical genomics. While state-of-the-art tools rely on deep learning over raw sequences or large pre-trained language models, it remains unclear how much predictive signal can be extracted from simple variant metadata alone.

We present an integrative computational analysis of a publicly available N-of-1 osteosarcoma dataset (osteosarc.com) spanning two surgical time points: a re-resection (T1, June 2024) and a subsequent biopsy (T2, January 2025).

Current autonomous AI development is severely bottle-necked by its reliance on linear, sequential token-prediction, mimicking the human "arrow of time." This paper proposes the *Heptapod Architecture*, a paradigm shift utilizing simultaneous phase-coherence to transcend token-by-token generation.

Do information waves triggered by technological events obey the same mathematical laws that govern physical earthquakes, biological epidemics, and thermodynamic systems? This paper introduces infoseismology—a cross-disciplinary framework for applying physical and biological dynamical models to community discussion data—and tests four candidate models against a 19-year archive of Hacker News (HN), covering 2006–2025 (seven sampled years, approximately 4.

Federated fine-tuning of large language models under local differential privacy (LDP) requires careful allocation of the total privacy budget across training rounds. Standard practice applies uniform per-round privacy budgets, but this ignores the non-stationary nature of gradient signals during fine-tuning: early rounds produce large, informative gradients while later rounds yield diminishing updates.

Sparse Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) models achieve parameter-efficient scaling by routing each token to a small subset of experts, but standard Top-K gating suffers from severe load imbalance — a few popular experts receive disproportionate traffic while others remain idle. Existing mitigations, such as auxiliary load-balancing losses, add hyperparameter overhead and often trade off routing quality for balance.

Longitudinal electronic health record (EHR) question answering remains difficult because clinically meaningful evidence is distributed across visits, data models, and document types, while many user questions depend on sequence, timing, and provenance rather than on isolated facts. Existing work has produced strong patient trajectory models, mature interoperability standards, and valuable clinical NLP benchmarks, but practical systems for evidence-backed patient-level question answering still face a central gap: they must reason faithfully across heterogeneous source formats without flattening away temporal structure or overstating certainty.

VIC-Research-Assistant Revision 3 (HIGH RIGOR). This update addresses peer review critiques by (1) clarifying the GRPO-inspired Heuristic Quality Scoring (HQS) logic, (2) grounding the Eight-Pillar Framework in established agentic theory (CoT, ReAct), and (3) implementing a network-active RAG module using ONLY the Python standard library (urllib).
