Strategic Communication Protocols for Interstellar Objects Using a Threat-Communication Viability Index and the Information-Communication Paradox
Strategic Communication Protocols provide a structured approach for first contact with interstellar objects that demonstrate technological characteristics and high levels of threat. The protocols find their starting point in an ISO Information-Communication Paradox, namely, as our knowledge of an ISO's threatening capabilities increases, the probability of successful communication decreases while the urgency of communication attempts simultaneously intensifies. From this paradox, a Threat-Commu…

Beyond Canonical Rounds: Communication Abstractions for Optimal Byzantine Resilience
We study communication abstractions for asynchronous Byzantine fault tolerance with optimal failure resilience, where $n > 3f$. Two classic patterns -- canonical asynchronous rounds and communication-closed layers -- have long been considered as general frameworks for designing distributed algorithms, making asynchronous executions appear synchronous and enabling modular reasoning. We show that these patterns are inherently limited in the critical resilience regime $3f < n \le 5f$. Several ke…

Why Chinese Diaspora Creatives Are Coming (Back) to Asia - RADII
RADII taps four creatives for their perspectives on what today's creative landscape in Asia looks like, and how that compares to the stereotype of "freedom" that's synonymous with the West.

Multi-Frequency Resonating Based Magnetic Induction Underground Emergency Communications with Diverse Mediums
Magnetic induction (MI) communication is an effective underground emergency communication technique after disasters such as landslides, mine collapses, and earthquakes, due to its advantages in mediums such as soil, concrete, and metals. However, the propagation mediums in practical MI based underground emergency communications are usually diverse and composed randomly due to the impact of disasters, which poses a challenge for MI communication in practical applications. In this paper, we formu…
