Authors create a benchmark across discrete/continuous and static/dynamical systems and introduce the Causal Abstraction Error (CAE) metric that reliably distinguishes valid from invalid causal abstractions when it includes faithfulness testing.

Derives Boltzmann distributions for 1D spin models as stochastic processes, quantifies structure via excess entropy and statistical complexity, specifies mechanisms with epsilon-machines, and reports agreement with typical configurations.
Canonical functionalism identifies consciousness-relevant functional organization with the minimal state-transition structure obtained by equating internal states that exhibit identical future behavior under all possible continuations.
A constructor theory framework models prebiotic information as physical differences and meaning as functional consequences in Casimir-Lifshitz protocell clusters.
Casimir-stabilized protocell clusters form ε-machines whose attractor states and transitions create emergent prebiotic information through physical memory rather than molecular polymers.
Introduces a defeasible rule-based coaching layer that converts diagnostic failures into policy rule revisions in adaptive agent-based regulatory simulations, demonstrated on an emissions-regulation ABM.
Neural network learning opacity stems from three dynamical complexity properties in training, rendering some sources of opacity irreducible.
