Kolmogorov--Arnold Networks as Implicit Regularizers: Noise Robustness and Interpretability for Stellar Classification
Kristian Sestak
This paper tests whether Kolmogorov--Arnold Networks (KAN 2.0) are genuinely more noise-robust than Multi-Layer Perceptrons (MLP) and XGBoost for stellar classification (star/galax…
Candidacy and Trigger: A Two-Phase Empirical Model of Hierarchical Collapse
Kristian Sestak
We test a dynamic ODE model of hierarchical asymmetry on a panel of 260 countries over 1960-2023, drawing on World Bank, Penn World Table, V-Dem and World Inequality Database sourc…
Empirical Confirmation of the Environmental-Dominance Inequality A direct decomposition of Var(ln \r{ho}eff ) across four levels of aggregation
Kristian Sestak
Empirical confirmation of the environmental-dominance inequality Var(ln rho_eff) >> Var(ln k) from arXiv:2605.02985, computed directly from three public datasets (Opportunity Atlas…
The Dominance of Environment over Entity's Capabilities
Kristian Sestak
We present an analytical framework for the probability of individual success based on a single structural asymmetry between the capacity of an entity to explore possibilities, ,…
