How Could AI Eliminate Humanity? A Failure-Mode Analysis of Civilizational Risk
Mikołaj Sienicki, Krzysztof Sienicki
This article develops a failure-mode framework for analyzing how advanced artificial intelligence could contribute to human extinction, irreversible civilizational collapse, or per…
A Human Audit of OpenAIs AI-Generated Mathematical Proofs
Mikołaj Sienicki, Krzysztof Sienicki
We assess 18 chapter-specific reviews of the ten mathematical results announced by OpenAI on 1 August 2026, alongside review standards, Lean formalizations, subsequent research, an…
The New Tractatus Program: Quantum Mechanics, Anti-Totalitarian Ontology, and Consciousness
Mikołaj Sienicki, Krzysztof Sienicki
This article reads two recent tractatus-style texts - Niccolo Covoni and Carlo Rovelli's Tractatus Quanticus (arXiv:2512.06034) and Mikolaj Sienicki and Krzysztof Sienicki's Tracta…
Comment on arXiv:2601.04248v1: Superposition of states in quantum theory (J.-M. Vigoureux)
Mikołaj Sienicki, Krzysztof Sienicki
Vigoureux suggests replacing the usual linear superposition rule of quantum mechanics with a M"obius-type "composition law" , motivated by (i) bounded-domain composition la…
Comment on arXiv:2511.21731v1: Identifying Quantum Structure in AI Language: Evidence for Evolutionary Convergence of Human and Artificial Cognition
Krzysztof Sienicki
This note is a friendly technical check of arXiv:2511.21731v1. I highlight a few places where the manuscript's interpretation of (i) the reported CHSH/Bell-type calculations and (i…
Tractatus de Conscientia: A Tractatus-Style Sketch Toward a Modern, Physically Operational Theory of Consciousness
Mikołaj Sienicki, Krzysztof Sienicki
Tractatus de Conscientia is a tractatus-style sketch toward a modern, physically operational account of consciousness. It is also a tractatus-style attempt to talk about consciousn…
A short technical comment on Bub's There is No Quantum World (arXiv:2512.18400v2) and a brief remark on related Grangier's reply (arXiv:2512.22965v1)
Krzysztof Sienicki
This note is a friendly technical check of Jeffrey Bub's There is No Quantum World (arXiv:2512.18400v2). I flag one unambiguous mathematical slip (a cardinality identity that impli…
Notes on Crowther and the "Interpretation" of Quantum Mechanics (arXiv:2512.14315)
Mikołaj Sienicki, Krzysztof Sienicki
We read Karen Crowther's \emph{Another 100 Years of Quantum Interpretation?} with two practical goals. First, we spell out what she means by interpretation'': an attempt to provide…
Remarks on Legal Entanglement: No-Signaling, Local Operations, and Legal Updates
Mikołaj Sienicki, Krzysztof Sienicki
Godfrey and Sichelman propose a quantum-inspired framework, legal entanglement, to model coupled legal relations and interpretations, with quantitative proxies for modularity and i…
From Kinematics to Interference: Operational Requirements for the Quantum Principle of Relativity
Mikołaj Sienicki, Krzysztof Sienicki
The quantum principle of relativity (QPR) puts forward an ambitious idea: extend special relativity with a formally superluminal branch of Lorentz-type maps, and treat the resultin…
Revised comment on the paper titled "The Origin of Quantum Mechanical Statistics: Insights from Research on Human Language
Mikołaj Sienicki, Krzysztof Sienicki
This short note comments on \citet{Aerts2024Origin}, which proposes that ranked word frequencies in texts should be read through the lens of Bose--Einstein (BE) statistics and even…
Comment on Classical-Gravity--Quantum-Matter Claims About Gravity-Mediated Entanglement
Mikołaj Sienicki, Krzysztof Sienicki
A recent paper by Aziz and Howl (Nature 2025) argues that, once quantum matter is described at the level of quantum field theory and coupled to a classical gravitational field, hig…
EPR Revisited: Context-Indexed Elements of Reality and Operational Completeness
Mikołaj Sienicki, Krzysztof Sienicki
We reframe the EPR argument through an operational lens, replacing the notion of fixed "elements of reality" with context-indexed conditional states - what's often referred to as a…
Comment on Marek Czachor article entitled "On Relativity of Quantumness as Implied by Relativity of Arithmetic and Probability"
Krzysztof Sienicki, Mikołaj Sienicki
Czachor's model of hierarchical arithmetics begins with a valid formal premise but fixes the key probability mapping g by importing the Born rule and Fubini-Study metric from stand…
Comment on "Unifying Aspects of Generalized Calculus"
Mikołaj Sienicki, Krzysztof Sienicki
Czachor's recent proposal introduces a form of non-Newtonian calculus built by pulling back arithmetic operations through arbitrary bijections between continua. Although the idea i…
Beyond the Wavefunction: Qualia Abstraction Language Mechanics and the Grammar of Awareness
Mikołaj Sienicki, Krzysztof Sienicki
We propose a formal reconstruction of quantum mechanics grounded not in external mathematical abstractions, but in the structured dynamics of subjective experience. The Qualia Abst…
Critical Reflections on Overcoming a Challenge for Bohmian Mechanics by H. Nikolic and the Experimental Findings of Sharoglazova et al
Mikołaj Sienicki, Krzysztof Sienicki
This paper offers a brief reflection on H. Nikolic's response to the experimental findings of Sharoglazova et al., which challenge Bohmian mechanics. While Nikolic's revision satis…
