In Iran, at least 3,468 people were killed over several weeks of U.S.-Israeli strikes.
Recovery for Iran is expected to be costly after the strikes hit critical infrastructure like bridges, manufacturing, and oil depots, as well as civilian infrastructure like hospitals and schools.
As part of the agreement signed this week, the U.S. has said it would work with regional partners create a $300 billion reconstruction fund.

A beautiful day for a viewtiful bridge. This is Clifton Suspension Bridge in Bristol, England. It is about 160 years old, and has been maintained by a toll for all that time. #bridges #views

Two squat brick tiers support an elegant cable suspended bridge span that passes at great height over a river gorge. A view across woods and farmland stretches behind.

Crimea has been a bridgehead for Russia since it seized the territory from Ukraine in 2014.
But the peninsula is now looking vulnerable.
Ukraine has stepped up its drone campaign, targeting strategic infrastructure including electrical substations, bridges, oil depots and airfields.
Drones are also severing the roads, railways and waterways that connect Crimea to Russia.
Isolating the peninsula completely would give Ukraine a strong hand in any future negotiations…

How do we help people connect with art in meaningful ways?
This summer, we’ve been hosting a series of workshops anchored by Julie Green’s “The Last Supper” (on loan from Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art), an installation on view here through August 16. Through these workshops, which are supported by a learning and engagement grant from Art Bridges Foundation, the museum has provided a space for conversation around justice, ritual and empathy.

Bright Galaxies at Cosmic Dawn: A Cloud-Scale Star Formation Model Unifying Variable SFE, IMFs, and Stochasticity
Elie Cueto, Anne Hutter
arxiv.org/abs/2607.18868 arxiv.org/pdf/2607.18868 arxiv.org/html/2607.18868
arXiv:2607.18868v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: To investigate the origins of the high abundance of UV-bright galaxies at z > 10, we present a new semi-analytic model that bridges the gap between small-scale star formation physics and large-scale galaxy evolution by explicitly tracking discrete star-forming clouds within smoothly evolving dark matter potentials. Unlike conventional semi-analytic models, our approach naturally captures the stochasticity of star formation, allowing us to isolate how cloud properties, star formation efficiencies (SFEs), and stellar initial mass functions (IMFs) shape the star-formation burstiness of early galaxies. Clouds are drawn sequentially from a cloud mass distribution, assigned an SFE and IMF depending on cloud mass, metallicity, and redshift, and evolve under the influence of short-timescale stellar feedback. We identify three distinct star formation regimes arising from the interplay between cloud masses, densities, and feedback timescales: a stochastic, feedback-limited regime in low-mass halos with long quiescent phases; a bursty regime regulated by the cloud mass distribution; and a smooth, continuous regime in massive halos. Our fiducial model adopts a dynamic IMF, an SFE linked to cloud properties and the IMF, and massive, moderately dense clouds. Varying assumptions reveals that top-heavy IMFs and enhanced SFEs in massive clouds amplify burstiness, while altering the upper cloud mass or density normalisation is secondary. Among model ingredients, the IMF most strongly impacts the UV luminosity function (LF), while switching to a constant SFE boosts the faint end, and reducing the maximum cloud mass decreases the bright end. These results demonstrate that cloud-scale physics critically shape early galaxy UV luminosity distributions.

Fridge heats up the whole wall, AC sucks in air through the extractor hood exhaust, the dishwasher distributes heat evenly and the surround receiver is 40°C hot while in standby.

Black and white thermal image. White area on the wall and the ceiling with a red indicator that the area is 33 °C. Blue indicator at the front of the fridge shows 26 °C.
Area around the extractor hood exhaust says 31.6 °C, while the coldest point in the area is 27.8 °C.
Front of dishwasher is 30.8 to 31.6 °C. A wet rag hanging on a cabinet is 24.7 °C.
Surround receiver shows 37.6 °C through the mesh on top.

The Positive Experience Principle: Forecasting Conscious Choices with AI Embeddings
Zheng Su, Mingyan Fang
arxiv.org/abs/2607.16659 arxiv.org/pdf/2607.16659 arxiv.org/html/2607.16659
arXiv:2607.16659v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: A fundamental challenge in the science of consciousness is the lack of a universal, predictive framework for motivated behavior. While existing theories excel at describing specific mechanisms, from neural pathways to computational models, they do not provide a foundational principle that explains the consistent direction of conscious systems toward certain states and away from others. To address this gap, we propose the Positive Experience Principle (PEP), a unifying principle stating that conscious systems have an inherent tendency to move toward states of higher positive subjective experience. This tendency is quantified by a Positive Experience Value (PEV), a scalar metric derived from the physical configurations defined by our earlier Universal Consciousness Code (UCC) theory. The PEP bridges physics, neuroscience, and psychology by positing that diverse behaviors are manifestations of a single, fundamental drive to optimize PEV. The PEP generates testable predictions for the dynamics of conscious systems, offering a path toward a unified science of behavior.

On Agentic Behavioral Modeling

arxiv.org/abs/2604.27894 arxiv.org/pdf/2604.27894 arxiv.org/html/2604.27894
arXiv:2604.27894v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: Integrating theoretical neuroscience, decision theory, and probabilistic inference offers a promising route to understanding human cognition, yet concrete methodological bridges between agentic AI models and behavioral data analysis remain formally underdeveloped. We advance this synthesis under the framework of agentic behavioral modeling (ABM), which treats artificial agents as latent, generative hypotheses about cognitive mechanisms and evaluates them by their statistical adequacy in explaining human behavior. After outlining its conceptual foundations, we apply the framework to two minimal laboratory paradigms: a binary perceptual contrast-discrimination task and a symmetric two-armed bandit learning task. We formalize each task-agent-data system as a joint probability model, derive explicit conditional log-likelihoods for behavioral inference, validate different model variants using model and parameter recovery simulations, and evaluate them in light of empirical data. Using these minimal examples, we provide an agent-centric interpretation of the psychometric function, derive optimal policies for both tasks, and show the equivalence between Rescorla-Wagner learning and Bayesian inference in symmetric bandits. More broadly, this work may serve as a conceptual and practical foundation for applying ABM to cognitive behavioral science.
