Anarchism and Linux share key similarities in decentralization. Anarchism puts power back into the hands of the people through democratic, decentralized communities and bottom-up unions that organize collectively without hierarchy. Similarly, Linux operates as a decentralized system where no single entity controls the whole; instead, development and decision-making happen through collaborative, distributed contributions from a global community.
They also align in the principle of mutua…

Bittensor Protocol: The Bitcoin in Decentralized Artificial Intelligence? A Critical and Empirical Analysis
This paper investigates whether Bittensor can be considered the Bitcoin of decentralized Artificial Intelligence by directly comparing its tokenomics, decentralization properties, consensus mechanism, and incentive structure against those of Bitcoin. Leveraging on-chain data from all 64 active Bittensor subnets, we first document considerable concentration in both stake and rewards. We further show that rewards are overwhelmingly driven by stake, highlighting a clear misalignment between qualit…

Dequantized particle algorithm for the nonlinear Vlasov-Poisson system
We present a dequantization algorithm for the Vlasov--Poisson (VP) system, termed the dequantized particle algorithm, by systematically dequantizing the underlying many-body quantum theory. Starting from the second-quantized Hamiltonian description, we derive a finite-dimensional dequantized system and show that it furnishes a structure-preserving discretization of the Schrödinger--Poisson (SP) equations. Through the Wigner or Husimi transformations, this discretization provides an efficient a…
