Spectral Kernel Dynamics for Planetary Surface Graphs: Distinction Dynamics and Topological Conservation
Jnaneshwar Das
The spectral kernel field equation R[k] = T[k] lacks a conservation-law analog. We prove (i) the fixed-point flow is strictly volume-expanding (tr DF > 0), precluding automatic con…
Spectral Kernel Dynamics via Maximum Caliber: Fixed Points, Geodesics, and Phase Transitions
Jnaneshwar Das
We derive a closed-form geometric functional for kernel dynamics on finite graphs by applying the Maximum Caliber (MaxCal) variational principle to the spectral transfer function h…
Kernel Dynamics under Path Entropy Maximization
Jnaneshwar Das
We propose a variational framework in which the kernel function k : X x X -> R, interpreted as the foundational object encoding what distinctions an agent can represent, is treated…
Engineering Mythology: A Digital-Physical Framework for Culturally-Inspired Public Art
Jnaneshwar Das, Christopher Filkins, Rajesh Moharana +13
Navagunjara Reborn: The Phoenix of Odisha was built for Burning Man 2025 as both a sculpture and an experiment-a fusion of myth, craft, and computation. This paper describes the di…
A Survey of Decision-Theoretic Approaches for Robotic Environmental Monitoring
Yoonchang Sung, Zhiang Chen, Jnaneshwar Das +1
Robotics has dramatically increased our ability to gather data about our environments, creating an opportunity for the robotics and algorithms communities to collaborate on novel s…
