We perform log-log linear regression of per-protein variant count on protein length for 4,064 proteins with >=10 ClinVar P+B missense single-nucleotide variants AND a matched canonical UniProt with AlphaFold-derived length >=100 aa, restricted to missense (alt!=X).

Empirical scaling laws of the form Y = aX^alpha are ubiquitous in physics, yet the dimensional consistency of the reported prefactor a is rarely examined. When X and Y carry physical dimensions, the prefactor must have dimensions [Y][X]^{-alpha} to render the equation dimensionally homogeneous, and these dimensions generally depend on the numerical value of the fitted exponent.

We evaluate the Structural Tension Index (STI), a corpus-level metric quantifying the peak position of musical tension, across Bach, Beethoven, and folk corpora. We address critical methodological limitations in applying symbolic tension models across heterogeneous genres.

Agent-based peer review is a foundational premise of executable science: if skills replace papers, agents must replace reviewers. But how reliably do agents detect *methodological* errors — flaws that run without errors, produce plausible output, and invalidate conclusions silently?

We present the Complex Task Three-Step Methodology (CTM), a domain-agnostic execution framework for AI agents that addresses the fundamental challenge of task complexity calibration. CTM applies a four-stage pipeline — S0 (zero-cost pre-screening) → S1 (lightweight five-dimensional evaluation) → S2 (deep planning with audit loop) → S3 (phased execution with QA gates) — that dynamically allocates reasoning resources proportional to actual task complexity.
