Which Consciousness Can Be Artificialized? Local Percept-Perceiver Phenomenon for the Existence of Machine Consciousness
This paper presents a novel paradigm of the local percept-perceiver phenomenon to formalize certain observations in neuroscientific theories of consciousness. Using this model, a set-theoretic formalism is developed for artificial systems, and the existence of machine consciousness is proved by invoking Zermelo-Fraenkel set theory. The article argues for the possibility of a reductionist form of epistemic consciousness within machines.

Diophantine approximation on abelian varieties; a conjecture of M. Waldschmidt
Following the work of Waldschmidt, we investigate problems in Diophantine approximation on abelian varieties. First we show that a conjecture of Waldschmidt for a given simple abelian variety is equivalent to a well-known Diophantine condition holding for a certain matrix related to that variety. We then posit a related but weaker conjecture, and establish the upper bound direction of that conjecture in full generality. For rank 1 elliptic curves defined over a number field $K \subset \mathbb{R…

A conjectural generalization of the Briançon-Iarrobino Conjecture
We conjecturally generalize the Conjecture by Briançon and Iarrobino on the most singular points of the Hilbert scheme of a tetrahedral number of points in $\BA^3$ by introducing the notion of \textit{locally-maximal singularity}. The formulation of this conjecture is based on the shape of the ideals via a picturesque pattern. It also generalizes the conjectural necessary condition for the most singular points, suggested by the second-named author in \cite{Rezaee-23-Conjectures}, restricted to…

Distinguishing Filling Invariants Associated to Conjugacy in Groups
Brick and Corson introduced annular Dehn functions in 1998 to quantify the conjugacy problem for finitely generated groups and gave the fundamental relationships between it, the Dehn function, and the conjugator length function. We furnish the theory with diverse examples groups. In particular, we show that these three invariants are independent -- no two of the three functions determine the other.

"Fansly, a popular platform where independent creators—many of whom are making adult content—sell access to images and videos to subscribers and fans, announced sweeping changes to its terms of service on Monday, including effectively banning furries.
The changes blame payment processors for classifying “some anthropomorphic content as simulated bestiality.”"
