The Gansalin Psychodynamic Quantification (GPQ) Framework: Integrating Spirit Mechanics and Mathematical Models of Resilience
No full textThis paper introduces the Gansalin Psychodynamic Quantification (GPQ) framework, an integrated model that
bridges qualitative spirit mechanics with non-linear algebraic quantification to assess mental resilience. The
study defines the "Spirit" (Roh) as a non-material manifestation of thought patterns, behaviors, and
subconscious drives operating within a physical "Vessel" (Wadah). We categorize the Internal Spirit’s
development into three distinct phases: Explorar Initium, Medium, and Ultimum, while identifying the
"External Spirit" as a collective byproduct of social stigma (Solitudo) or harmony (Concordia).
Central to this framework is the Psychodynamic Coefficient (Pn) formula, which calculates the risk of
"Mechanical Failure" or psychosomatic conversion by analyzing four core variables: Potential Index (P),
Control Coefficient (K), Unconscious Friction (U), and External Load (N). Quantitative simulations
demonstrate that low Pn values (e.g., Pn < 0.5) correlate with systemic overload, where the Spirit’s resonance
exceeds the Vessel’s structural capacity, leading to somatization. This multidisciplinary approach offers a
predictive tool for early intervention in complex psychological trauma and social-structural dynamics
Nudging ESG investments via digital financial advising. Evidence from an investment game experiment.
No full textThe experiment aims at studying how financial advisors’ recommendations can influence retail investor preferences toward sustainable investments and the resulting demand for these products. In particular, the experiment will simulate a real meeting session with a financial advisor, by means of a pre-recorded audio-video with a person (a real human being) impersonating a financial advisor from a fictional international financial advising association. Participants will be divided into two groups: a treated group and a control group. After measuring a set of variables related to the assessment of the client profile in line with the actual regulation, the respondents will express their preferences toward sustainable investments; then, they will watch the video in which the financial advisor gives some recommendations on how to invest their money. The treated and the control group will watch the same video, except for the last part. On the one hand, the treated group will hear the advisor giving detailed information on sustainable investments and suggesting their inclusion in the client’s portfolio. On the other hand, the control group will hear the advisor talking about the normative framework related to financial advisory services. After this video, the subjects will participate in an investment game in which they are asked to allocate some money among different investment funds, including a sustainable fund. The risk and return characteristics of the funds will be displayed. This will allow us to measure the effect of the treatment, consisting in the advisor’s suggestion to invest in sustainable products, compared to the control group. The research questions are the following: RQ1) Do financial advisor’s suggestions affect the allocation of retail investors in the sustainable investment fund? RQ2) Do financial advisor’s suggestions moderate the relationship between declared sustainable preferences and the percentage allocated in the sustainable investment fund
PRRICCE: Foundational Theory and Epistemology
No full textPRRICCE: Foundational Theory and Epistemology
This project archives the core foundational manuscript of the PRRICCE framework — a minimal, substrate-agnostic model describing the simplest physical structure of persistent intelligent systems. Derived from three irreducible cores (Probability, Instinct/Reward-seeking, Entropy), it yields the Equilibrium Inequality as the necessary condition for survival. The framework is qualitative, universal, and epistemological in nature, focusing on the minimal constraints governing intelligence across scales.

TrAIngles: an LLM-Based Automatic Scoring Tool for Theory of Mind Assessments Across the Life Span
No full textUnderstanding how Theory of Mind (ToM), the ability to attribute mental states to others, develops and differs across individuals requires robust and easily applicable measures. Tasks involving open ended verbal responses such as the Triangles Task offer valid indicators of ToM, but their manual scoring is time-consuming and demands substantial training. In this study, we test the validity and reliability of TrAIngles, an automatic scoring software for the Triangles Task developed through fine-tuning of large language models (LLMs). TrAIngles was trained on a dataset of N ~ 11,000 responses collected from 581 Italian-speaking participants aged between 8 and 81 years. LLM-based ToM scores showed high accuracy and reliability metrics (Cohen’s kappa, ICC, Krippendorff’s alpha, Spearman’s rho) comparable to human ratings and consistently exceeding commonly accepted thresholds for inter-rater agreement (i.e., > .80). Performance remained robust across age groups (children, adolescents, young adults, adults, and older adults). Our findings demonstrate that reliable and valid ToM indexes can be obtained from the Triangles Task using this new automated scoring system based on LLMs. TrAIngles thus provides an innovative tool for lifespan ToM assessments relying on open-ended responses, highlighting the potential of training automated scoring systems on archival, human-rated datasets. TrAIngles is openly available for use both as code and via a user-friendly graphical interface

Explainable Robots for Human-Robot Teamwork
No full textPreregistration of the project 'Explainable Robots for Human-Robot Teamwork'. In this project we will conduct user studies to investigate how robot autonomy influences human-robot teamwork. Human and robot will collaborate during a navigation task, where the robot will do the mapping and the human will supervise the robot using a graphical user interface. We will compare a collaboration and teleoperation approach. We will evaluate team performance, workload, experienced control, and preferences
