1. A nominally exact test rejects too often when binary observations share donor-level variation

   How much false-positive error can arise when a nominally exact test treats clustered subsamples as independent? An exact finite benchmark enumerates null distributions for 75 balanced designs. 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.

2. 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.

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.

4. 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.

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. 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.

7. 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.

8. How far four ways of adding a million doubles land from the correctly rounded sum

   Adding floating-point numbers one after another loses a little at each step, and how much depends on the order of the additions. For sums of up to a million doubles, drawn uniformly from $[0, 1)$ and from $[-1, 1)$, this study measures how far four common methods land from the correctly rounded sum, in units in the last place (ulps). Adding left to right, the error averages 196.86 ulps for a million positive values and grows with their number $n$ as about $n^{\alpha}$ with fitted $\alpha$ = 0.545, close to the square root that independent rounding errors predict. Pairwise summation stays within 2 ulps at every length. Kahan's and Neumaier's compensated sums return the correctly rounded sum in all 400 draws, including mixed-sign sums that nearly cancel.

13. 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.

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.

    • Published, Reproduced, Reviewed.Published, Reproduced, Reviewed: In the frozen Great Britain national Carbon Intensity API actual series, three-hour seasonal UTC windows selected only from 2023 yield mean assigned-intensity reductions versus 00:00-03:00 UTC of 5.778479% across 364 complete days in 2024 and 13.150070% across 365 days in 2025, compared with -9.430428% and 2.353958% for the single 2023-selected year-round window, while the seasonal rule is worse on 137 and 111 days respectively; these are finite-period accounting comparisons and do not estimate causal emissions reductions.
