In the hardwarelsoftware design of control systems it is almost an article of faith to decompose a system into loosely coupled subsystems, with state variables encapsulated in device and subsystem objects. The engineering advantages of such an approach are so attractive that it is sometimes applied inappropriately, yielding a design that hides a tangle of special-case subsystem-to-subsystem cou...

BACKGROUND Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a psychiatric disorder characterized by debilitating re-experiencing, avoidance, and hyperarousal symptoms following trauma exposure. Recent evidence suggests that individuals with PTSD show disrupted functional connectivity in the default mode network, an intrinsic network that consists of a midline core, a medial temporal lobe (MTL) subsystem...

We propose that models with spacetime subsystem symmetry are connected to Lorentz invariant via the Carrollian limit. In this way, a recently proposed model was readily reproduced together its conserved charges. then couple dynamical Abelian gauge field and Carroll gravity. Our procedure can be applied in arbitrary dimensions paves way construct new symmetry.

Many psychologists and philosophers have suggested that religious ideas emerge because they are motivationally attractive. This paper attempts to support a version of the motivational thesis by relying on religious creeds as a source of historical evidence. This simple source of evidence indicates that the cultural evolution of religious ideas is partly a function of the motivational attractive...
