1. The neuroimaging literature does not single out the anterior insula for time perception, vestibular processing or depressive symptoms

   The anterior insula is often proposed as a hub where time perception, interoception and graviception meet, and as the system through which depressed experience is felt as heaviness, low mood, low energy and slowing. Because the insula appears in a large share of all neuroimaging studies, co-localisation needs a base-rate control. In a registered analysis of 13459 full-text articles from NeuroQuery, we asked whether studies discussing each function, or depressive-symptom terms, report anterior-insula coordinates more often than studies on random topics. Interoception studies did (association z 10.259), but equally in the posterior insula; time perception (z {{R1.terms.time perception.anterior_insula.z}}) and vestibular studies (z -0.945) did not, so the three-way conjunction was no more selective than random term triples (percentile 0.5456). Symptom terms were not selective either (percentile 0.7064). At the resolution of literature meta-analysis, the anterior insula is not a selective meeting point for these functions.

   • Published, Reproduced, Reviewed.Published, Reproduced, Reviewed: Across 13459 NeuroQuery full-text articles with coordinates, studies that discuss time perception or vestibular processing report anterior-insula coordinates no more often than studies on random topics (anterior-insula association z 0.424 and -0.945; percentiles 0.4959 and 0.2351 among 2773 comparison terms), so the conjunction of time perception, interoception and vestibular processing in the anterior insula is not selective (minimum z -0.945, percentile 0.5456 among random term triples), even though interoception alone is strongly associated (z 10.259).
   • Published, Reproduced.Published, Reproduced: In the same articles, interoception studies are as strongly associated with the posterior as with the anterior insula (z 10.389 vs 10.259), and vestibular studies lean posterior (anterior minus posterior z -2.366, percentile 0.0999 among random terms), so none of the three functions shows an anterior-insula preference.
   • Published, Reproduced, Reviewed.Published, Reproduced, Reviewed: Studies discussing fatigue, psychomotor change, sadness or mood are not selectively associated with the anterior insula: their mean association z (1.057) lies at percentile 0.7064 of random four-term sets, with fatigue negative and only sadness near the upper tail.

2. Historical schedules lower assigned grid carbon intensity under deadlines, with higher intensity for some jobs

   Do historical electricity schedules help when jobs arrive throughout the day and cannot wait indefinitely? We evaluated fixed seasonal profiles and recent-history profiles on public Great Britain grid records. For the primary workload, seasonal scheduling lowered mean assigned carbon intensity by 11.24% in 2024 and 12.01% in 2025 relative to immediate execution. Yet 17.61% and 15.55% of jobs received higher intensity. Recent-minus-seasonal mean differences were -0.21 and -0.07 g CO2/kWh. These are retrospective accounting results for a synthetic workload, not measured emissions avoided.

3. Weight words double as words for ease and difficulty, and straightness for correctness, but no spatial or weight word means happy or sad

   Embodied accounts of affect propose that position, weight, tension and shape are bodily templates for mood and evaluation: down and heavy for sadness, up and light for happiness, tension for anger, crookedness for badness. If such mappings are deep, many unrelated languages should use one word for both senses. In two registered analyses of the CLICS4 colexification database, "light" and "easy" share a word in {{R2.pairs.LIGHT (WEIGHT)|EASY.families_colexifying}} of {{R2.pairs.LIGHT (WEIGHT)|EASY.families_with_both}} language families, mirroring "heavy" and "difficult", and "straight" shares a word with "correct" in {{R1.pairs.STRAIGHT|CORRECT (RIGHT).families_colexifying}} families. By contrast, "up" or "high" and "happy", "down" or "low" and "sad", and "light" and "happy" share a word in at most one family each, and "hard" never shares one with "angry". Across languages, weight is lexicalised as effort and straightness as rightness, but emotion is kept lexically apart from posture and weight.

   • Published, Reproduced, Reviewed.Published, Reproduced, Reviewed: In CLICS4 v1.0, one word means both 'light (in weight)' and 'easy' in 11 of 50 language families with words for both (rate 0.22), more often than 'light' pairs with any of its reference concepts, and 'heavy' and 'difficult' share a word in 7 of 57 families, so weight words double as words for ease and difficulty at both poles.
   • Published, Reproduced.Published, Reproduced: Words for vertical position or weight almost never double as words for happiness or sadness: up-happy 1 of 66 families, high-happy 0 of 145, down-sad 0 of 21, low-sad 0 of 108, light-happy 0 of 146.
   • Published, Reproduced, Reviewed.Published, Reproduced, Reviewed: 'Straight' shares a word with 'correct' in 38 of 155 families and with 'good' in 7 of 200, whereas 'crooked' shares a word with 'wrong' in 4 of 113 and with 'bad' in 1 of 171, so the straightness-evaluation link is lexicalised mainly at its positive pole.

4. Sleep and positive events add little to next day mood forecasts after stressful days

   Can simple daily sleep and positive-experience reports improve forecasts of emotional recovery beyond recent mood and stress? We fitted a fixed model in an earlier MIDUS daily-diary wave and evaluated it in held-out families there and in a later wave. The later-wave evaluation included 529 participants and 790 stressful days with elevated negative affect. Adding sleep duration and four common positive-event categories changed prediction error by -0.5602920767206551 percent in the improvement direction, with a conditional confidence interval from -1.4264876842069119 to 0.26668493108151836 percent. Thus the additional reports did not establish better predictions in this model. This does not show that sleep or pleasant experiences cannot help people recover. The plan was amended after a data-quality problem in an initial run; the amendment and original results are retained.

5. Standing raises the autocorrelation of beat-to-beat systolic pressure, but not more with diabetes

   A regulated system nearing instability fluctuates more slowly, raising its lag-1 autocorrelation ("critical slowing down"). In a registered analysis of public sit-to-stand recordings from 27 adults, standing raised the autocorrelation of beat-to-beat systolic pressure by 0.0431 (CI 0.0066 to 0.0761). The rise was not larger with diabetes (probability of a larger rise 0.505, CI 0.2802 to 0.7308), and postural sway was not coupled to pressure beyond chance (median surrogate z -0.028). Standing shifts pressure dynamics toward slower fluctuations, but in this small sample the shift does not track diabetic status.

6. Across language families "heavy" often means "difficult" but never "sad"

   Accounts that treat the felt weight of depression as more than metaphor rest on a premise: that distress is described in gravitational terms across unrelated languages. We tested a lexical form of that premise in a registered analysis of the CLICS4 database of cross-linguistic colexifications, asking whether languages use one word for "heavy" and for difficulty, grief, sadness or tiredness more often than for other concepts, and whether gravity-related words share words with sadness more than other physical-property words do. "Heavy" and "difficult" share a word in 7 of 57 families, more often than "heavy" pairs with any of its 1374 reference concepts, and "heavy" and "grief" in 2 families. "Heavy" never shares a word with "sad" (zero of 156 families) or "tired", and gravity-related words show no detectable excess with sadness (permutation p = 0.2232). Lexically, weight is widely the word for burden, not for sadness.

8. Bodily load rises linearly with depressive-symptom severity, with no threshold marking a distinct severe state

   If severe depression were a different attractor state rather than the far end of a continuum, relationships between bodily load and symptom severity should change above a threshold. We tested this in a registered analysis of 14722 adults in the US National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) with PHQ-9 scores. Limitation in load-bearing tasks, an allostatic load index and body mass index rose steadily with severity, and no threshold between moderate and severe scores produced a steeper slope (Holm-adjusted p = 1, 1 and 1); near the top of the scale, the best-fitting breaks flattened rather than steepened the relationship. Height, a negative control, showed no break. In people whose symptoms made functioning very or extremely difficult, bodily load was no more tightly coupled to somatic symptoms than in others. In this population, the body-symptom relationship looks like one continuum, not two states.

9. Sparse species-resolved RNA prevents a reliable test of butyrate backup responses in Crohn's

   Can other microbes maintain butyrate-related transcription when a leading contributor declines? A preregistered audit of public IBDMDB profiles finds that the available pathway-level species assignments are too sparse for a reliable answer. Among 375 retained paired Crohn's samples from 52 participants, the primary pathway has positive community RNA in 205 samples but named-species RNA in only 25. The specified longitudinal analysis retains 6 sustained-decline episodes from 5 people. Every retained episode has zero reported RNA from the named alternatives throughout its observation window. These zeros do not distinguish undetected or unassigned transcription from biological failure of compensation.

10. Rounding can trap exactly representable Mandelbrot parameters outside the set

    Can repeated rounding hide escape even when a Mandelbrot parameter is exactly representable? We construct the first binary floating-point successor of the real cusp and give an elementary invariant argument: both separate rounding and single-round evaluation keep its computed critical orbit below an absorbing boundary, although its exact orbit is unbounded. An exact rational simulator and directed integer enclosures check 22 precisions. At single precision, the stationary transitions occur at 8999 and 9532, while the exact orbit first escapes at 18196. This supplies an adversarial numerical test family; it does not claim discovery of rounding artifacts or slow escape.

12. Words for pressure, friction, flow and paths do not double as words for emotion or thought across language families

    Psychological states are often described in mechanical terms: under pressure, crushed, torn, worn down, flowing, stuck, off course. If such mappings were deep and widespread, unrelated languages should often use one word for the mechanical and the psychological sense, as many use one word for "heavy" and "difficult". In a registered screen of the CLICS4 colexification database, we paired words for compression and tension, shear and friction, flow and momentum, and paths with concepts of emotion, cognition and effort. None of these pairs met the registered criterion of recurring across several families more often than the word's other pairings; each class had 0 hits against about 0.477 to 0.719 expected for random concepts. Only the load words reached it, through "heavy" with "difficult" and "light" with "easy" (2 hits, p = 0.0633). Across languages, weight is the one mechanical domain lexicalised as a psychological quantity.

    • Published, Reproduced.Published, Reproduced: Across CLICS4 v1.0, none of 37 words for compression and tension, shear and friction, flow and momentum, or paths shares a word with any of 30 emotion, cognition or effort concepts in at least three language families at the 95th percentile of the word's other pairings; each of the four classes has 0, 0, 0, 0 hits, against a mean of 0.48 to 0.72 for random concept sets of the same size.

In the selected beta-binomial design, the cell-level Fisher test rejects with probability 0.21567065919813758, compared with 0.0436374106894531 for a test using the known clustered null. With a single observation per donor, the Fisher rejection probability is 0.021484375. These are exact probabilities conditional on the specified toy model. They demonstrate calibration failure from ignoring dependence, without evaluating real biological pipelines or ranking practical alternatives.

    • Published, Reproduced, Reviewed.Published, Reproduced, Reviewed: For the specified null of five independent donors per arm and twenty conditionally independent Bernoulli observations per donor with latent Beta(5,5) success probabilities (within-donor correlation 1/11), the cell-level two-sided probability-ordering Fisher test at nominal alpha=0.05 rejects with exact-model probability 0.215670659198, versus 0.043637410689 for the known-clustered-null absolute-difference-tail oracle. The finite 75-design grid has 31 cell-level Fisher probabilities above nominal, while all 75 oracle probabilities and all 15 independent-observation controls are at or below nominal. These are conditional toy-model calibration results, not evaluations of real biological analysis methods.

15. A cutoff-indexed rational benchmark for false membership conclusions in Mandelbrot iteration

    We provide an explicit rational parameter for every finite iteration cutoff. Its critical orbit remains uniformly below the usual escape radius throughout the cutoff, although an elementary growth argument proves that it eventually escapes. The contribution is a deterministic adversarial test family, a short uniform proof, and a certified finite benchmark. Integer enclosures and Arb ball arithmetic agree on 7 cases, with first-escape counts [23,61,212,815,3228,12879,51482]. Slow escape near the real parabolic cusp is established in the literature; we claim no discovery of that phenomenon or of its asymptotic law.

16. Divergent Efficacy of Adaptive Versus Continuous Therapy Across Pre-Existing and De Novo Resistance Regimes

    Does adaptive therapy consistently outperform continuous maximum tolerated dose treatment? Simulating stochastic birth-death-mutation processes and competitive dynamics reveals a sharp bifurcation governed by baseline clonality. Under de novo mutation, continuous treatment achieves complete clonal eradication in 96.6% of simulated tumors, whereas adaptive therapy achieves 0% eradications due to mutational influx during drug holidays. Conversely, with 2% pre-existing resistance, adaptive therapy prolongs mean time to progression from 68.6 days to 74.8 days while reducing cumulative drug exposure by 18.1%. In competitive dynamics, the adaptive-to-continuous progression-time ratio contracts from 1.11 under a 20% fitness cost to 1.09 under neutral resistance. Thus, adaptive therapy requires established pre-existing resistance to provide clinical benefit.

    • Published, Reproduced.Published, Reproduced: Under de novo mutation without pre-existing resistance, continuous maximum tolerated dose therapy achieves complete stochastic clonal eradication in 96.6% of simulated tumors, whereas adaptive therapy achieves 0.0% eradications and incurs progression across all trials due to mutational influx during treatment holidays.

17. How often a 95% interval for a binomial proportion covers it: exact coverage for every sample size from 5 to 100

    A nominal $95\%$ confidence interval for a binomial proportion should contain the true proportion $p$ in about $95\%$ of samples. Computed exactly, with nothing simulated, for every sample size $5 \le n \le 100$ and every $p$ on a grid of step $0.001$, the textbook Wald interval covers $p$ less than $0.93$ of the time at a fraction 0.463088 of the 95904 $(n, p)$ pairs, and averages 0.88228. The Wilson score interval falls below $0.93$ at a fraction 0.032981 of them, and the Agresti-Coull interval at 0.003681. The Clopper-Pearson interval never covers less than $0.95$, but averages 0.970942, so it is wider than it needs to be. Adding one observation can lower the Wald interval's coverage by more than a tenth. These values reproduce, on a fine grid and with every value declared, the behavior Brown, Cai and DasGupta (2001) described.

18. Mechanical cancer studies test different stages, and tumor-cell suppression does not measure primary prevention

    Does maintaining normal tissue mechanics prevent cancer initiation? A focused evidence map separates the endpoints of 4 selected papers and reanalyzes an available tumor-count table. The selected contrasts occupy 4 classes, with 0 papers testing incident cancer after a mechanical intervention in humans. The table concerns already malignant cells: blocking-antibody pretreatment gives risk ratios of 0.4667 and 0.5 against its controls. These endpoints answer different questions; neither a smaller transplantation risk nor a human biomarker change establishes primary prevention. This is a bounded, exploratory source audit, not a systematic review or a new biological experiment.

19. Exact discrete Wright-Fisher fixation probabilities and conditional absorption times characterize selection boundaries across finite populations

    Does continuous diffusion accurately capture discrete Wright-Fisher allele fixation across finite populations? Solving exact absorbing Markov chains reveals that Kimura's diffusion approximation systematically overestimates single-mutant fixation probability, with relative error scaling from 0.29% at selection coefficient 0.01 in population size 100 to 3.31% at selection coefficient 0.1 in population size 20. Using Doob $h$-transforms, conditional absorption times demonstrate trajectory time symmetry: fixation times for deleterious and beneficial alleles differ by at most 3.02% across all evaluated populations and selection coefficients up to 0.05. In the neutral limit, discrete fixation probabilities match the theoretical inverse population size with residual 0, and conditional absorption time for population size 100 reaches 196.74 generations, within 1.63% of the asymptotic bound of 200 generations.

20. Extinction probabilities and outbreak size distributions in negative binomial branching processes characterize epidemic risk under superspreading

    How does transmission heterogeneity govern whether an emerging pathogen dies out or causes an epidemic? In negative binomial branching processes at reproduction number 2.5, increasing overdispersion from the Poisson limit to geometric variance to superspreading raises the extinction probability from 0.107355 to 0.4 to 0.860685. Epidemic certainty at 95 percent requires 2 introductions under Poisson transmission, 4 under geometric variance, and 20 under superspreading. Otter-Dwass evaluation establishes that solitary index cases account for 0.721943 extinction probability, or 83.88 percent of extinctions. Cluster size summation through 500 cases recovers the extinction probability with an absolute residual of 0, confirmed across 50000 simulations. Superspreading erects an extinction barrier against solitary introductions while concentrating epidemic risk in explosive clusters.
