Adaptive Entangled Game Modules in Artificial General Intelligence
arXiv:2609.09226v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We introduce a probability-wave framework for modeling the collective behavior of interacting adaptive agents, deriving testable eigenmodes through a generalized behavioral intelligence (GBI) nonlocal probability-wave equation. This framework captures a broad range of human intelligence behaviors with analytical mechanisms and offers an indirect method to examine the Liu-Chen-Ao (LCA) hypothesis of nonlocal entangled nerve fibers in the brain thro

What Should an Agent Forget? Separating What Is Stored from What Is Used
arXiv:2609.10263v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Persistent language agents need stored experience to remain available across time, while each answer requires evidence suited to a particular question. A superseded fact can mislead a current-state answer and still be essential for a historical query. We present RD-Forget, a training-free framework that separates what an agent stores from what it uses. A retained source archive preserves observations, and a query-conditioned memory view controls t

EEGBind: Detecting Source-Level Interictal Epileptiform Discharges via EEG-Centric Multimodal Binding
arXiv:2609.09728v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Source-level analysis of interictal epileptiform discharges (IEDs) is relevant to presurgical evaluation and treatment planning because it helps characterize where epileptiform activity is likely to arise. Beyond detecting whether an IED is present, this setting requires assigning IED-positive activity to clinically meaningful brain-region categories. This setting is challenging because source-region evidence in short electroencephalography (EEG

Genomics and social practices at Mogou and other Gansu sites during prehistoric trans-Eurasian exchange
Ancient DNA from 149 individuals at 11 sites in Gansu, China, dated to around 4,700–3,000 years ago, reveals human population history during early transcontinental exchanges of agriculture and technology, as well as contemporary social practices, at the large Mogou cemetery.

ABSTRACT
Pulmonary gas exchange and host defense depend on the dynamic coordination of resident and recruited macrophage populations. Historically, macrophage functions have often been interpreted through the classic M1/M2 dichotomy; however, this binary framework does not capture the heterogeneity and context-dependent plasticity of macrophage states within the lung microenvironment. Advances in single-cell RNA sequencing and spatial multi-omics have substantially refined our understanding of this complex macrophage network. Here, we synthesize evidence from human studies and experimental models to summarize macrophage functional states in homeostasis and across chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, asthma, idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, pulmonary hypertension, acute lung injury/acute respiratory distress syndrome, and lung cancer. We highlight how macrophage transcriptional programs are shaped by ontogeny, tissue niche, and epigenetic-metabolic regulation, and how these programs are linked to disease-specific remodeling of the pulmonary microenvironment. Across diverse respiratory diseases, persistent tissue injury and microenvironmental stress remodel resident macrophage programs and are frequently accompanied by the expansion and context-dependent differentiation of recruited monocyte-derived macrophages. These macrophage states are associated with inflammatory amplification, epithelial and endothelial barrier dysfunction, extracellular matrix remodeling, and tumor immune evasion. Ligand-receptor and spatial analyses further identify candidate communication axes linking macrophages with stromal, epithelial, endothelial, and immune cells, some of which appear partially conserved across disease contexts. Emerging macrophage-targeted strategies are increasingly being explored beyond broad depletion, with growing interest in context-specific reprogramming and niche modulation, including antibody-based, nanocarrier-mediated, and engineered-cell approaches. Decoding the spatiotemporal trajectories and cell-cell communication networks of specific macrophage subsets, while considering tissue context, species differences, and levels of experimental support, may help clarify mechanisms of tissue remodeling, therapeutic resistance, and macrophage-targeted intervention in complex pulmonary diseases.
