Hidden Coalitions in Multi-Agent AI: A Spectral Diagnostic from Internal Representations
Cameron Berg, Susan L. Schneider, Mark M. Bailey
Collections of interacting AI agents can form coalitions, creating emergent group-level organization that is critical for AI safety and alignment. However, observing agent behavior…
Targeted Disruption of Hypernetworks via Spectral Partitioning
Mark M. Bailey, Matthew J. Hasenjager, Nina H. Fefferman
We study hyperedge-removal strategies for suppressing contagion on synthetic hypergraphs. Hypergraphs are generated from ErdÅs--Rényi, Barabási--Albert, and Watts--Strogatz seed…
Topology as a Language for Emergent Organization in Complex Systems: Multiscale Structure, Higher-Order Interactions, and Early Warning Signals
Mark M. Bailey
Complex systems are difficult to study not only because they are nonlinear, multiscale, and often nonstationary, but because their scientifically relevant organization is often inv…
Quotient Geometry and Persistence-Stable Metrics for Swarm Configurations
Mark M. Bailey
Swarm and constellation reconfiguration can be viewed as motion of an unordered point configuration in an ambient space. Here, we provide persistence-stable, symmetry-invariant geo…
CONSENT: A Negotiation Framework for Leveraging User Flexibility in Vehicle-to-Building Charging under Uncertainty
Rishav Sen, Fangqi Liu, Jose Paolo Talusan +5
The growth of Electric Vehicles (EVs) creates a conflict in vehicle-to-building (V2B) settings between building operators, who face high energy costs from uncoordinated charging, a…
Detecting Narrative Shifts through Persistent Structures: A Topological Analysis of Media Discourse
Mark M. Bailey, Mark I. Heiligman
How can we detect when global events fundamentally reshape public discourse? This study introduces a topological framework for identifying structural change in media narratives usi…
