Confluence of the Node-Domination and Edge-Domination Hypergraph Rewrite Rules
In this note, we study two rewrite rules on hypergraphs, called edge-domination and node-domination, and show that they are confluent. These rules are rather natural and commonly used before computing the minimum hitting sets of a hypergraph. Intuitively, edge-domination allows us to remove hyperedges that are supersets of another hyperedge, and node-domination allows us to remove nodes whose incident hyperedges are a subset of that of another node. We show that these rules are confluent up to …

On graphical domination for threshold-linear networks with recurrent excitation and global inhibition
Graphical domination was first introduced in [1] in the context of combinatorial threshold-linear networks (CTLNs). There it was shown that when a domination relationship exists between a pair of vertices in a graph, certain fixed points in the corresponding CTLN can be ruled out. Here we prove two new theorems about graphical domination, and show that they apply to a significantly more general class of recurrent networks called generalized CTLNs (gCTLNs). Theorem 1 establishes that if a domina…

Local criteria for global connectivity comparisons: beyond stochastic domination
We introduce a site-wise domination criterion for local percolation models, which enables the comparison of one-arm probabilities even in the absence of stochastic domination. The method relies on a local-to-global principle: if, at each site, one model is more likely than the other to connect to a subset of its neighbors, for all nontrivial such subsets, then this advantage propagates to connectivity events at all scales. In this way, we obtain a robust alternative to stochastic domination, ap…

On $d$-distance $p$-packing domination number in strong products
The $d$-distance $p$-packing domination number $γ_d^p(G)$ of a graph $G$ is the cardinality of a smallest set of vertices of $G$ which is both a $d$-distance dominating set and a $p$-packing. If no such set exists, then we set $γ_d^p(G) = \infty$. For an arbitrary strong product $G\boxtimes H$ it is proved that $γ_d^p(G\boxtimes H) \le γ_d^p(G) γ_d^p(H)$. By proving that $γ_d^p(P_m \boxtimes P_n) = \left \lceil \frac{m}{2d+1} \right \rceil \left \lceil \frac{n}{2d+1} \right \rceil$, and t…

Steven Newcomb and Peter d'Errico have between them 90 years (!) of experience studying and working with so-called "federal Indian law" — what we show to be "federal anti-Indian law". Domination Chronicles is where we share our thoughts about the details and the implications of a claim of a right of domination... for all peoples and for Earth itself.

Actually, I do want to come back to masculinity under patriarchy and whiteness under white supremacy because I think it's worth talking more about. The "man" under patriarchy (at least "Western" patriarchy) is represented as power and independence. The man needs nothing and thus owes nothing to anyone. The man controls and is not controlled, which is intimately related to independence as dependence can make someone vulnerable to control. The image of "man" projects power and invulnerability. At the same time "man" is a bumbling fool who can't be held accountable for his inability to control his sexual urges. He must be fed and cared for, as though another child. His worst behaviors must be dismissed with phrases such as "boys will be boys" and "locker room talk." The absurdity of the concept of human "independence" is impossible to understate.
Even if you go all Ted Kaczynski, you have still been raised and taught. This is, perhaps, why it is so much more useful to think in terms of obligations than rights. Rights can be claimed and protected with violence alone, but obligations reveal the true interdependence that sustains us. A "man" may assert his rights. Yet, on some level, we all know that the "man" of patriarchy acts as a child who is not mature enough to recognize his obligations.
White violence and white fragility reflect the same dichotomy. "The master race" somehow always needs brown folks to make all their shit and do all the reproductive labor for them. For those who fully embrace whiteness, the "safe space" is a joke. DEI shows weakness. Yet, when presented with an honest history adults become children who are incapable of differentiating between criticism and simple facts. *They* become the ones who must be kept safe. The expectation to be responsible for one's own words and actions, one of the very core definitions of being an adult, is far too much to expect. Their guilt needs room, needs tending, needs caring. White people cannot simply "grow the fuck up" or, as they may say of slavery, "fucking get over it."
And again, interestingly, it is *rights* that they reference: "Mah Freeze PEACH!" I find it hard to distinguish between such and my own child's assertion that anything she doesn't like is "not fair!" No, these assertions fail to recognize the fundamental fabric of adult society: the obligations we hold to each other.
At the intersection of all privilege is the sovereign, the ultimate god-man-baby. Again, referencing the essay (https://hexmhell.writeas.com/observations-on-domination-and-trump)
> This is where it becomes important to consider the ideology behind the sovereign ritual. Participation within the sovereign ritual denotes to the participants elements of the sovereign. That is, all agents of the sovereign are, essentially, micro dictators. By carrying out the will of the sovereign, these micro dictators can, by extension, act outside of the law.
While law enforcement is the ultimate representative of sovereign violence, privileges allow a gradated approximation of the sovereign. Those who are "closer" in privilege to the sovereign may, for example, be permitted to carry out violence against those who are father away. The gradation of privilege turns the whole society, except for the least privileged, into a cult that protects the privilege system on behalf of the most privileged. (And immediately Malcolm X pops to mind as having already talked about part of this relationship in 1963 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jf7rsCAfQCo.)

Primordial Black Holes from Primordial Voids
Primordial black holes (PBHs) are a compelling dark matter candidate and a unique probe of small-scale cosmological fluctuations. Their formation is usually attributed to large positive curvature perturbations, which collapse upon Hubble re-entry during radiation domination. In this work we investigate instead the role of negative curvature perturbations, corresponding to the growth of primordial void (PV) like regions. Using numerical relativity simulations, we show that sufficiently deep PV c…

Bounds on the propagation radius in power domination
Let $G$ be a graph and let $S \subseteq V(G)$. It is said that $S$ \textit{dominates} $N[S]$. We say that $S$ \textit{monitors} vertices of $G$ as follows. Initially, all dominated vertices are monitored. If there exists a vertex $v \in G$ which is not monitored, but has all but one of its neighbours monitored, then $v$ becomes monitored itself. This step is called a \textit{propagation} step and is repeated until the process terminates. The process terminates when the there are no unmonitored …

Gauge Dependence of Scalar-Induced Gravitational Waves from Isocurvature Perturbations: Analytical Results
We analytically study the gauge dependence of scalar-induced gravitational waves (SIGWs) sourced by primordial isocurvature perturbations during radiation domination (RD), working across nine gauges. Through analytical integrations of the kernels supported by graphical comparison we identify a clear dichotomy. We find that in some gauges viz. the uniform-density (UD), total-matter (TM), uniform-curvature (UC), comoving-orthogonal (CO) and transverse-traceless (TT) gauges the energy density grow…

Gravitational Wave Signatures of Warm Dark Matter in Gauge Extensions of the Standard Model
We study the left-right symmetric extension of the Standard Model (LRSM), featuring a TeV-scale right-handed (RH) gauge boson $W_R$ and three RH neutrinos. This setup naturally realises the type-II seesaw mechanism for active neutrino masses. We identify the conditions that yield sufficient entropy dilution to reconcile the keV sterile neutrino dark matter energy density with observations while inducing an early matter domination (EMD) phase. These constrain the lightest active neutrino mass to…

Adding another post. This one is a bit less polished, but I want to get it out. As things get harder for everyone, I'm seeing a greater tendency to want to grasp onto revolutionary fiction such as #Andor. I think there's value in that, but it has to come with an informed critique.
> We are so thirsty for hope that we will drink it up, even when that hope comes from a fiction and the truth behind the hope is poison. In Andor, we see the worst elements sacrifice themselves for some of the best. The revolution goes through a process of purification, the complicated elements weeding themselves out to make room for the simplified good, as the rebellion unifies. In reality, this tends to be the opposite how things actually work.
> [...]
> [The Urban Guerilla movement of the 60's through the 80's] centered militant revolution. In doing so, they omitted or cut themselves off from the logistic support needed to sustain such revolutionary activity. The trauma of carrying out violence further isolated and radicalized them. Lacking infrastructure for trauma healing, their decay escalated and became unrecoverable. Ultimately, their revolutionary movements both emulated and reinforced the status quo they were trying to resist.
> There emerges a strange historical parallel that is difficult to see from within the dominant paradigm. The competitive politics of electoralism derives from heroic competition, where people (typically men) compete (often violently) for control over a territory or people. Thus the insurrectionary enters into the very same competition as a challenger, not against the system of domination but for control over it. The success of the revolution, then, does not abolish the system of violent domination but changes rather replaces its management.
> Many modern anarchists will be quick to point out the disconnect between ends and means. While authoritarian projects often assert that "the ends justify the means," and Andor implies the same, anti-authoritarian projects assert the ends and the means are not only united but are, in fact, the same.
This is still very much something I'm actively editing, but I'd still love feedback to help me refine it to it's final form. Typo catches and clarifying questions welcome.

Enhanced Matter Power Spectrum from Axion Kination after Big Bang Nucleosynthesis
Despite stringent constraints from Big Bang Nucleosynthesis (BBN) and cosmic microwave background (CMB) observations, it is still possible for well-motivated particle physics models to substantially alter the cosmic expansion history between BBN and recombination. In this work we consider two different axion models that can realize a period of first matter domination, then kination, in this epoch. We perform fits to both primordial element abundances as well as CMB data and determine that up to…

We all know Trumpism is an illusion, a facade, a game. His cult is breaking down as they continue to be confronted with the ever widening divergence between their perceived reality and his claims. I feel as though Dawn of Everything provides a useful lens through which to both understand this and to dismantle the ritual violence this cult is carrying out. Perhaps we can even extend this to ourselves to disentangle ourselves from the cultish elements of capitalist modernity.
Authoritarianism itself is ultimately a complex illusion, thus this analysis, the recognition and dismantling of illusion, should inform all elements of those who wish to express anti-authoritarian resistance.
