arXiv:2605.24383v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Ethical constraints on open-weight AI models are both a reflection of societal concerns and a foundation for AI governance policy. They are expected to propagate to downstream derivatives while implemented as voluntary metadata disclosures that must be restated at each generation of reuse. We audit 2,142,823 model repositories on Hugging Face Hub to test whether this disclosure-based governance infrastructure can sustain traceability across deep model lineages. Restriction evidence decays with a half-life of 1.31 derivation steps ($R^2$=0.98), and beyond seven downstream generations at least 80% of descendant models lack sufficient public evidence for a governance determination, a depth boundary we formalize as the governance horizon. Platform-level interventions to restore missing licence metadata reveal that policy design (not enforcement alone) is the binding factor: inheritance-only designs require near-complete enforcement to move the horizon, whereas a mandatory-declaration design that explicitly resolves orphan lineage components shifts the horizon already at moderate enforcement. The structural bottleneck is lineages with no inheritable upstream intent: such orphan components remain undecidable under any inheritance-only policy regardless of enforcement rate, and unresolved upstream nodes additionally create direct downstream undecidability bottlenecks that inheritance rules alone cannot recover. Comparison with PyPI, where governance signals are carried by explicit machine-readable declarations, corroborates that the collapse is topology-specific to open-weight derivation rather than inherent to open ecosystems. These results establish that disclosure-based governance has a shallow, structurally determined reach in open-weight AI, and that achieving deep supply-chain accountability requires provenance mechanisms propagating governance signals through derivation itself.

arXiv:2605.24162v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Biological systems are governed by structured molecular interactions, where pathways, regulatory circuits, and functional gene relationships shape cellular behavior and disease progression. Much of this knowledge is naturally represented as graphs. However, most biomedical AI models cannot directly use graph-encoded biological knowledge and instead require compressed low-dimensional representations, which can lose important structure and reduce performance, especially in limited-sample clinical studies. Here, we introduce Graph-in-Graph (GiG), a knowledge graph-modulated deep learning framework for data-efficient clinical prediction. GiG represents each patient as a standalone modular graph, in which curated biological knowledge graphs define edges and patient-specific measurements, such as gene expression, define node features. This design allows multiple biological knowledge graphs to be integrated while preserving gene-gene interactions and pathway topology during patient-level representation learning. Across cohorts comprising nearly 9,700 patients and five clinical tasks, including liquid biopsy cancer detection, prostate cancer diagnosis, and 32-class pan-cancer classification, GiG consistently outperforms traditional and state-of-the-art methods, with the largest gains in limited-sample settings. On the challenging prostate cancer diagnosis task, GiG improves macro-F1 by up to 49 percentage points relative to competing methods. Control experiments replacing real pathway graphs with random topologies confirm that these gains arise from biologically grounded knowledge graph structure rather than graph modeling alone. These findings show that knowledge graph-modulated deep learning can improve robustness, interpretability, and sample efficiency in clinical data analysis, and provide a principled framework for integrating biological knowledge graphs into predictive modeling.

arXiv:2605.22794v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Autonomous agentic systems are largely static after deployment: they do not learn from user interactions, and recurring failures persist until the next human-driven update ships a fix. Self-evolving agents have emerged in response, but all confine evolution to text-mutable artifacts -- skill files, prompt configurations, memory schemas, workflow graphs -- and leave the agent harness untouched. Since routing, hook ordering, state invariants, and dispatch live in code rather than in any text artifact, an entire class of structural failure is physically unreachable from the text layer. We argue that source-level adaptation is a fundamentally more general medium: it is Turing-complete, a strict superset of every text-mutable scope, takes effect deterministically rather than through base-model compliance, and does not erode under long-context drift. We present MOSS, a system that performs self-rewriting at the source level on production agentic substrates. Each evolution is anchored to an automatically curated batch of production-failure evidence and proceeds through a deterministic multi-stage pipeline; code modification is delegated to a pluggable external coding-agent CLI while MOSS retains stage ordering and verdicts. Candidates are verified by replaying the batch against the candidate image in ephemeral trial workers, then promoted via user-consent-gated, in-place container swap with health-probe-gated rollback. On OpenClaw, MOSS lifts a four-task mean grader score from 0.25 to 0.61 in a single cycle without human intervention.
