RETRACTED – See Author Note - Validation of Crawford’s Postulate: Quantum Collapse Dynamics (v1.51)
No full textUpdated Author Note – May 2025
This paper represents an early attempt to model quantum collapse within the EiG (Energy–information Gradient) framework. While the formulation was internally consistent, I have since identified key flaws in the simulation methodology—particularly in how photon dynamics were represented across discernibility gradients.
As a result, the core conclusion of this manuscript is no longer considered valid. However, the process of developing and testing this model directly led to several foundational insights now informing an updated field theory of light, discernibility, and time—Now available here: https://osf.io/uwn2e
I’ve chosen to leave this paper online as part of an open research process. Future readers should interpret it as an early step in an ongoing effort to model physical reality from first principles under the EiG framework.

Ionosphere redistribution during strong geomagnetic storms as detected by the CHAMP, SAC-C, TOPEX and Jason-1 satellites
Get PDFIonosphere response to severe geomagnetic storms that occurred in 2001-2003 was analyzed using data of global ionosphere maps (GIM), altimeter data from the Jason-1 and TOPEX satellites, and data of GPS receivers onboard CHAMP and SAC-C satellites. This allowed us to study in detail ionosphere redistribution due to geomagnetic storms, dayside ionospheric uplift and overall dayside TEC increase. It is shown that after the interplanetary magnetic field turns southward and intensifies, the crests of the equatorial ionization anomaly (EIA) travel poleward and the TEC value within the EIA area increases significantly (up to ～50%). GPS data from the SAC-C satellite show that during the main phase of geomagnetic storms TEC values above the altitude of 715 km are 2-3 times higher than during undisturbed conditions. These effects of dayside ionospheric uplift occur owing to the > and last few hours while the enhanced interplanetary electric field impinged on the magnetopause

Capital Tax Incidence: Fisherian Impressions from the Time Series
Get PDFThis paper accepts for the sake of argument the hypothesis that much of the time series correlation between tax and profit rates is spurious, and shows how nonetheless time series for profit rates, tax rates, and consumption can be organized, compared and interpreted using Fisher's (1930) theory of consumption in order to understand the incidence of capital taxes. Capital taxation is associated with a wedge between anticipated aggregate consumption growth and capital rental rates, suggesting that in one way or another capital owner behavior adjusts in the direction needed for some passing' of the capital tax. Conversely, most of the medium and low frequency deviations between anticipated aggregate consumption growth and capital rental rates are associated with capital taxation, as implied by aggregate time-separable Fisherian consumption theories in which time preference, non-tax capital market distortions, aggregation biases, and other determinants of aggregate consumption growth vary little over time.

Recovery following an extreme conditioning program workout: influence of time, electrostimulation, and dietary supplementation
No full textElectronic Thesis or DissertationEssential to training is optimal recovery. Insufficient recovery may lead to decrement in physiological and psychological status, resulting in decreased performance and potentially overtraining. Thus, investigating an appropriate time course of recovery and recovery enhancement methods are of value. Extreme Conditioning Programs (ECP) are metabolically and physically demanding forms of training that incorporate regular variation in exercises, high intensity, and high volume with minimal prescribed rest. There is currently no research evaluating recovery following an ECP workout. Three studies were conducted to evaluate recovery duration and enhancement methods following an ECP workout. In the first study, 24-hour (R24) and 48-hour (R48) recovery were evaluated in nine trained males following an ECP workout by assessment of a pre-workout performance battery (PRI) and a post-recovery PRI. The PRI consisted of a sit-and-reach test, shoulder reach flexibility test, countermovement jump (CMJ), bench press bar velocity and power, seated medicine ball toss, 1-minute push-up test, 250 m rowing ergometer test, and perceptual markers. Additionally, a composite recovery score (z-score of six PRI metrics) was developed for each study. The second study evaluated 30 minutes of upper-body low-frequency electrical stimulation (LFES), trained males (n = 9), as a strategy to enhance recovery following an ECP workout by assessment of a pre-workout PRI and PRI 24-hours post workout. In a similar design, study three evaluated the combination of branch chain amino acids (BCAA) and beta-hydroxy-beta-methylbutyrate (HMB) as a recovery strategy in ten trained males following an ECP workout. A placebo of sugar-free candy was used as a control in studies 2 and 3. Findings from study one indicated a significant decrement of the composite recovery score, performance of the CMJ, and bar velocity as well as increased perception of muscle pain at R24. However, only perception of muscle pain was altered at R48. Thus, R48 was a sufficient recovery duration and allowed restoration of performance following the ECP workout. Studies two and three had similar results, the recovery strategies did not attenuate the decrement in performance and alterations of perception associated with the ECP workout. Future research should explore recovery following differing ECP durations and modalities
