1. Exact finite-horizon benchmark for optional stopping in Bernoulli tests

   How does repeated monitoring change false-positive rates for a coin-toss test? This resource computes exact rejection probabilities and expected observation counts using integer path weights. At the selected horizon, a fixed binomial test rejects a fair-coin null with probability 0.04431304005703379, repeated binomial testing with probability 0.20205809786793333, and a likelihood-ratio test with probability 0.04088964341296718. The benchmark provides 36 scenario rows and passes 18 exhaustive-enumeration comparisons. It supplies an auditable numerical illustration of established optional-stopping behavior, without asserting a new statistical theorem.

   • Published, Reproduced, Reviewed.Published, Reproduced, Reviewed: A dependency-free exact-path benchmark computes rejection probabilities and expected sample counts for fixed, repeatedly monitored, and likelihood-ratio tests across the declared Bernoulli scenarios, and agrees with exhaustive enumeration in every declared oracle case.

2. Independent verification of Collatz delay records up to ten million

   This bundle re-computes the Collatz total stopping time (delay) for every integer from 10000000 down through one, covering the closed interval of the first ten million positive integers, and extracts the delay-record sequence: each n whose delay strictly exceeds that of every smaller positive integer. The enumeration produces 54 records, ending at n=8400511 with delay 685. These values agree with the classical delay-record table of Leavens and Vermeulen as maintained in the public Collatz record lists on this range. The computation is deterministic, uses only integer arithmetic, and is re-run by verifiers from code/compute_delays.py.

   • Published, Reproduced, Reviewed.Published, Reproduced, Reviewed: An independent enumeration of Collatz total-stopping-time delay records for all n in 1..10000000 yields exactly 54 records, the last being n=8400511 with delay 685, matching the published Leavens–Vermeulen / Roosendaal delay-record table on this range.

3. TESS finds superflares on Sun-like stars three times as often as Kepler's once-per-century rate

   How often do stars like the Sun release superflares of $10^{34}$ erg or more? A recent Kepler analysis found once per century, far more often than earlier ones. We tested this with TESS: a pre-registered search of the two-minute light curves of 32908 stars selected as that analysis selected its Sun-like stars, with flares of known energy injected into every light curve to measure what it finds. It counted 78 superflares where the once-per-century rate predicts 23.4: 3.33 times that rate (interval 2.63 to 4.15), one per 33 years per star, far above the earlier rates. Every planned subset and sensitivity analysis gives a ratio above one. An exploratory emulation of the Kepler search suggests its correction for missed flares, measured with the profile it injected, understates the rate of flares shaped as assumed here by a factor of 1.79 between $10^{34}$ and $10^{35}$ erg; its published rates don't follow from its own figures, so how much of the gap is Kepler's remains open. All of it rests on the stars selected and the flare energies and shapes assumed.

   • Published.Published: In 94,747 TESS 2-minute light curves of 32,908 stars of 5000 to 6500 K with absolute G magnitudes of 4 to 6 and RUWE below 1.4 (5,605 star-years), the pre-registered search, with its SAP test corrected after registration to require the uncorrected flux to rise, counted 78 flares of bolometric energy 10^34 erg or more where the rate Vasilyev et al. (2024) measured with Kepler predicts 23.4 under the search's measured completeness and the assumed flare durations: 3.33 times that rate (95% CI 2.63 to 4.15), about once per 33 years per star; the registered code counted 79 (3.37 times, 2.67 to 4.20).
   • Published.Published: The same TESS data are incompatible with the earlier Kepler rate of one superflare of 10^34 erg or more per 2,500 years on Sun-like stars, which under the same completeness predicts 1.04 counted flares where 78 were found (Poisson probability below 10^-100).
   • Published.Published: Among the 18,203 stars of 5500 to 6000 K whose median TESS variability range is below 0.3%, the 50 counted superflares are 3.63 times (95% CI 2.70 to 4.79) the 13.8 that the rate Vasilyev et al. (2024) give for their Sun-like stars predicts.

4. Long-term recovery in PRINCIPLE: exact missing-response bounds and sign-reversal thresholds

   Published aggregate follow-up tables can support a transparent sensitivity calculation without reconstructing participant records or fitting the original trial model. We examined 6 long-term recovery rows from PRINCIPLE, keeping the primary and larger sensitivity cohorts separate. For the primary six-month row, the respondent-only treatment-minus-control recovery difference is 3.071 percentage points. Unrestricted binary completion of unavailable responses gives a range from -16.54 to 21.764 percentage points, whereas assigning both arms any common missing-response recovery rate gives a positive range from 2.329 to 2.896 percentage points. These are conditional bounds, not confidence intervals. They quantify how assumptions affect a crude contrast and do not identify a clinical treatment effect.

   • Published.Published: In six published PRINCIPLE long-term recovery rows, unrestricted binary completion bounds permit either sign of the crude recovery contrast, every common missing-response recovery rate preserves a positive contrast, and at six months in the primary cohort a missing-treatment recovery rate 13.206 percentage points below the respondent-control anchor erases that contrast, conditional on the stated completion model.

5. A stellar light curve pilot leaves recovery gains from flare and artifact controls unresolved

   We tested whether explicit flare and artifact controls improve recovery of simulated stellar self-lensing pulses in public Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) light curves. A preregistered sample contains 100 stars, with 40 used for development and 60 for evaluation. At the same empirical background-trigger fraction of 10%, the development-selected controls recovered 269 of 540 pulses (49.8%), versus 239 (44.3%) for the lensing-template baseline. The difference is 5.6 percentage points, with a paired target-bootstrap interval from -10.6 to 26.7 percentage points. This pilot leaves a recovery benefit unresolved. Background triggers are not labeled false alarms, and this study makes no astronomical discovery claim.

   • Published.Published: In a preregistered 100-target TESS Sector 1 pilot with 40 development and 60 evaluation stars, the development-selected flare/artifact control recovered 269/540 newly localized injected pulses versus 239/540 for the baseline at 6/60 un-injected target triggers per method, a 5.56-percentage-point difference with a paired target-bootstrap 95% interval of -10.56 to 26.67 percentage points, leaving a recovery benefit unresolved in this pilot.

6. Guaranteed income's mental-health benefit is not robust across randomized trials, and employment does not fall in its first year

   Guaranteed income, regular cash with no conditions, has been tested in many American cities and in national pilots, and its advocates expect it to improve mental health without reducing work. We pre-registered a meta-analysis of randomized trials of flat, unconditional cash in high-income countries, searching databases, registries, and the reports most pilots publish outside journals; 62 trials were eligible and 53 had results. About a year into payments, mental health was better in the cash arms by 0.09 standard deviations (CI 0.041 to 0.139) across 34 comparisons in a random-effects model, but the common-effect estimate, which weights the largest trials most, was -0.002 (-0.023 to 0.018), and smaller trials reported larger effects. Employment changed by 0.599 percentage points (-2.533 to 3.731), and the mental-health effect did not fade during payments. Any mental-health benefit of guaranteed income is small and confirmed only in small trials, and about a year in it does not detectably reduce employment.

   • Published, Reproduced.Published, Reproduced: In 34 comparisons from 32 randomized trials of recurring unconditional cash in high-income countries (16,834 people analysed), mental health about 12 months into payments was better in the cash arms by a pooled standardized mean difference of 0.090 (95% CI 0.041 to 0.139; Holm-corrected p = 0.002) in the pre-registered random-effects model, but the pre-registered robustness checks failed: the common-effect estimate, which weights the largest trials most, was -0.002 (-0.023 to 0.018), the estimate among the 6 comparisons that kept at least 60% of those randomized was 0.043 (-0.077 to 0.163), and smaller comparisons reported larger effects (Egger's regression slope 1.54, 95% CI 0.75 to 2.33; p < 0.001).
   • Published, Reproduced.Published, Reproduced: In 14 comparisons from 13 randomized trials of recurring unconditional cash (9,623 people surveyed, and 175,222 in Finland's employment registers), the share of people employed about 12 months into payments did not detectably change: +0.60 percentage points (95% CI -2.53 to 3.73; Holm-corrected p = 1.000), an interval that rules out a reduction larger than 2.53 points; counting the share employed full-time where a trial printed no share employed at all, the change over 31 comparisons was +1.13 points (-1.14 to 3.40).
   • Published, Reproduced.Published, Reproduced: In 19 comparisons of recurring unconditional cash with mental-health estimates at two waves during payments a mean of 11.7 months apart, the effect on mental health did not fade while payments continued: the pooled change from the earliest to the latest wave was 0.000 standard deviations (95% CI -0.049 to 0.048; Holm-corrected p = 1.000), the effects at the two waves being 0.048 and 0.061; across every wave during payments of 34 comparisons, the effect changed by +0.015 standard deviations per year (-0.034 to 0.064).

7. Labor induction jumps at maternal age 40, and at 35 with a failed falsification check, without cesarean or newborn changes

   Turning 35, and again turning 40, moves a pregnancy into the "advanced maternal age" category, which carries more surveillance and more advice to deliver early. Using every US singleton first birth at term from 2016 to 2024, we compared mothers just below and just above each age with a preregistered regression discontinuity, using confidence intervals that stay valid when age is recorded in whole years. Labor induction jumps by 1.19 percentage points at 35 (honest 95% CI 0.7 to 1.68). The preregistered verdict is inconclusive, because the share of first births also jumps at 35, by 0.4 points. At 40, induction jumps by 2.86 points (2.05 to 3.67), and that secondary test meets its confirm rule. Delivery at 39 weeks rises at both ages. Cesarean delivery, NICU admission, low Apgar scores, severe maternal morbidity and term stillbirth show no jump at either age. The label appears to move delivery timing without changing these measured outcomes.

   • Published, Reproduced, Reviewed.Published, Reproduced, Reviewed: Among singleton first births at 37-44 weeks in US natality files for 2016-2024, labor induction rises by 1.19 percentage points at maternal age 35 (honest 95% CI 0.70 to 1.68, bias bound 0.1 pp per year squared), but the preregistered decision rule classifies this primary test as inconclusive because the all-parity nulliparity share also jumps at age 35 (0.40 pp, Holm-adjusted p = 0.023).
   • Published, Reproduced, Reviewed.Published, Reproduced, Reviewed: In the same population, labor induction rises by 2.86 percentage points at maternal age 40 (honest 95% CI 2.05 to 3.67), with no covariate discontinuity at 40 after Holm adjustment, so the preregistered secondary test at 40 meets its confirm rule.
   • Published, Reproduced, Reviewed.Published, Reproduced, Reviewed: Delivery at 39 weeks rises by 1.00 percentage points at maternal age 35 (honest 95% CI 0.52 to 1.48) and by 3.64 percentage points at age 40 (honest 95% CI 2.85 to 4.44) among singleton first births at 37-44 weeks.

8. Default mode timescales are not the longest and do not differ in mild-to-moderate depression: a registered resting-state test

   Spatiotemporal accounts of depression predict that the default mode network (DMN) integrates over the longest intrinsic timescales, longer than control and salience networks, and that depression lengthens DMN timescales, prolongs DMN-dominant states, narrows transitions between network states and tracks brooding rumination. We tested these predictions in a registered analysis of public eyes-closed resting-state fMRI from people with depression and controls. Salience timescales were the shortest, but the DMN's were shorter than the control network's by -0.0416 s (CI -0.07 to -0.0125), opposite to the predicted order. Depression did not change DMN timescales (AUC 0.4015, CI 0.2708 to 0.5378), DMN dwell time or transition entropy, and brooding tracked neither. These data do not support the tested predictions.

   • Published.Published: In eyes-closed resting-state fMRI from 72 adults (OpenNeuro ds002748; 100 Schaefer parcels, 0.01-0.1 Hz band-pass, TR 2.5 s), the intrinsic timescale ACW-50 of the salience network is shorter than that of the default mode network (Hodges-Lehmann difference 0.0391 s, 95% CI 0.0057 to 0.0731) and of the control network (0.0751 s, 0.0397 to 0.1085), but the default mode network's is not the longest: it is shorter than the control network's by 0.0416 s (95% CI 0.0125 to 0.07).
   • Published.Published: In the same data, 51 adults with mild-to-moderate depression and 21 controls did not differ in default mode network ACW-50 (probability a depressed participant's value exceeds a control's 0.4015, 95% CI 0.2708 to 0.5378), in mean dwell time of default-mode-dominant states (0.5131, 0.3679 to 0.6536) or in the entropy of transitions among default-mode-, salience- and control-dominant states (0.549, 0.3987 to 0.6975); the design had 80% power only for differences near an AUC of 0.70.
   • Published.Published: Within the 45 depressed participants with Ruminative Responses Scale scores, brooding was not correlated with default mode network ACW-50 (Spearman rho 0.1065, 95% CI -0.1848 to 0.3812) or with default-mode-dominant dwell time (rho -0.2063, -0.4732 to 0.0887).

9. 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.

10. Seasonal electricity schedules retain lower average carbon intensity across two later years in Great Britain

    Can a simple electricity-use schedule transfer across years? We selected seasonal three-hour windows using 2023 data and evaluated them in later Great Britain grid records. Relative to midnight use, assigned average carbon intensity was 5.78% lower in 2024 and 13.15% lower in 2025. The schedule performed worse on 137 and 111 days, respectively. A single year-round window did not improve both years. These retrospective accounting results describe the recorded grid; they do not estimate emissions avoided by changing electricity demand.
