Abstract

The contemporary academic ecosystem, heir to the Enlightenment's "Republic of Letters," finds itself in a state of profound and unsustainable crisis. That order, based on the free flow of correspondence and the disinterested pursuit of knowledge, has been supplanted by a system teetering under the weight of its own contradictions. This work embarks on a fundamental redesign to articulate an innovative and coherent framework for scientific communication. To this end, four distinct but complementary schools of thought are synthesized: From Ordoliberalism, we take the rigor of designing an "economic constitution" that prevents the concentration of power and fosters fair competition. From Humanistic Economics, we extract the telos, or normative purpose (human flourishing and shared prosperity). From Digital Humanism, we derive the technological ethos, ensuring that the infrastructure serves human dignity. Finally, from Decentralized Science (DeSci), we take the set of architectural tools (smart contracts, DAOs, tokens) capable of building this new order from the ground up. The narrative arc is deliberate: Part 1 offers an anatomy of decay, using the Uddin demand as a scalpel to dissect the economic, institutional, and epistemic pathologies of the current system. Part 2 articulates the philosophical constitution of the new republic. Part 3 details the architectural blueprint and technological infrastructure of this new order. Part 4 subjects this design to rigorous stress tests to forge its resilience and antifragility. Part 5 charts a strategic roadmap for the transition, a plausible path to navigate from the status quo to full community sovereignty. Finally, Part 6 brings the book full circle, returning to the foundational vision. This is a call to action to build the New Republic of Ideas that the pursuit of truth deserves in the 21st century.

Bidirectional Temporal Dynamics Modeling for EEG-based Driving Fatigue Recognition

Driving fatigue is a major contributor to traffic accidents and poses a serious threat to road safety. Electroencephalography (EEG) provides a direct measurement of neural activity, yet EEG-based fatigue recognition is hindered by strong non-stationarity and asymmetric neural dynamics. To address these challenges, we propose DeltaGateNet, a novel framework that explicitly captures Bidirectional temporal dynamics for EEG-based driving fatigue recognition. Our key idea is to introduce a Bidirectional Delta module that decomposes first-order temporal differences into positive and negative components, enabling explicit modeling of asymmetric neural activation and suppression patterns. Furthermore, we design a Gated Temporal Convolution module to capture long-term temporal dependencies for each EEG channel using depthwise temporal convolutions and residual learning, preserving channel-wise specificity while enhancing temporal representation robustness. Extensive experiments conducted under both intra-subject and inter-subject evaluation settings on the public SEED-VIG and SADT driving fatigue datasets demonstrate that DeltaGateNet consistently outperforms existing methods. On SEED-VIG, DeltaGateNet achieves an intra-subject accuracy of 81.89% and an inter-subject accuracy of 55.55%. On the balanced SADT 2022 dataset, it attains intra-subject and inter-subject accuracies of 96.81% and 83.21%, respectively, while on the unbalanced SADT 2952 dataset, it achieves 96.84% intra-subject and 84.49% inter-subject accuracy. These results indicate that explicitly modeling Bidirectional temporal dynamics yields robust and generalizable performance under varying subject and class-distribution conditions.

Fixing ill-formed UTF-16 strings with SIMD instructions

UTF-16 is a widely used Unicode encoding representing characters with one or two 16-bit code units. The format relies on surrogate pairs to encode characters beyond the Basic Multilingual Plane, requiring a high surrogate followed by a low surrogate. Ill-formed UTF-16 strings -- where surrogates are mismatched -- can arise from data corruption or improper encoding, posing security and reliability risks. Consequently, programming languages such as JavaScript include functions to fix ill-formed UTF-16 strings by replacing mismatched surrogates with the Unicode replacement character (U+FFFD). We propose using Single Instruction, Multiple Data (SIMD) instructions to handle multiple code units in parallel, enabling faster and more efficient execution. Our software is part of the Google JavaScript engine (V8) and thus part of several major Web browsers.

MRSeqStudio: MRI Sequence Design and Simulation as a Service in a Free and Open-Source Web Platform

MRI sequence prototyping increasingly relies on graphical design environments and numerical simulators to accelerate development and validation. While several platforms support interactive sequence construction, fully web-based solutions that combine integrated phantom management, high-fidelity Bloch simulation, and scalable multi-user deployment remain limited. We present MRSeqStudio, a web-based platform for interactive MR sequence design and simulation. The tool adopts a block-based representation model with real-time visualization and native JSON/Pulseq export. Simulations are performed using the GPU-enabled Bloch simulator KomaMRI, which enables accurate modeling of arbitrary pulse sequences and phantoms within an installation-free architecture. The system separates front-end interaction from back-end simulation services to support concurrent multi-user access. Sequence validity was assessed by comparing GRE and bSSFP implementations against equivalent sequences designed in mtrk and gammaSTAR. The resulting images showed minimal absolute differences and high mean structural similarity indices (SSIM). Stress testing under burst-request conditions demonstrated stable performance with up to 100 concurrent users on a high-performance desktop deployment. A comparative workflow analysis with mtrk and gammaSTAR further examined differences in representation models, parameter propagation strategies, and integration levels across platforms, highlighting the relative strengths and limitations of each tool. Results indicate that MRSeqStudio provides a reliable and accessible environment for MR sequence prototyping, combining web-native deployment with Bloch-level simulation fidelity and integrated phantom visualization.
