Wigner's cats with high-entropy random numbers
Recently, we have shown that using mixed matrix ensembles, a remarkable property appears, so called Wigner’s cats, i.e., shape of semicircle starts looking like a cat.

Mathematical research, is it invention or discovery?
If there there is a natural phenomenon having mathematical description or a mathematical description corresponds to a natural phenomenon, it is discovery. Others are inventions.
Sometimes, inventions turn out to be discoveries.

We look at claims of "emergent capabilities" & "emergent intelligence" in LLMs from the perspective of what emergence means in complexity science.

Using JWST, researchers have monitored an isolated exoplanet for 2.5 of its rotation periods. The object’s variable IR spectrum confirmed previous hints of patchy clouds and provided new evidence of hot spots in the upper atmosphere and fluctuating carbon chemistry.
