\chisao{}: A GPU-Native Parallel Optimizer for Multimodal Black-Box Functions via Convergence-Anticonvergence Oscillation
Ira Wolfson
Finding all modes of a multimodal black-box function is a fundamental challenge in optimization, Bayesian inference, and scientific computing. Existing approaches -- basin-hopping,…
On a geometric interpretation of the 1/4 factor in black hole entropy
Ira Wolfson
The Bekenstein--Hawking entropy $S = k_B A/4\lp^2$ contains a coefficient that has been calculated by many approaches to quantum gravity. We show that this factor arises from…
Operational measurement of relativistic equilibrium from stochastic fields alone
Ira Wolfson
The inverse-temperature four-vector $β^μ= u^μ/(k_B T_0)$ has been the theoretically accepted description of relativistic equilibrium since van Kampen and Israel, yet no experime…
Quantum Inaccessibility
Ira Wolfson
Loschmidt's paradox asks why macroscopic irreversibility is universal despite the time-reversal symmetry of microscopic dynamics. We argue that irreversibility is not a property of…
SunBURST: Deterministic GPU-Accelerated Bayesian Evidence via Mode-Centric Laplace Integration
Ira Wolfson
Bayesian evidence evaluation becomes computationally prohibitive in high dimensions due to the curse of dimensionality and the sequential nature of sampling-based methods. We intro…
Informed Consent for AI Consciousness Research: A Talmudic Framework for Graduated Protections
Ira Wolfson
Artificial intelligence research faces a critical ethical paradox: determining whether AI systems are conscious requires experiments that may harm entities whose moral status remai…
