6. 🛰️ Fundamental Dynamical Units for Physics-Informed Structural Inference from Perturbation Time-Series in Networked Systems
What the feed says: arXiv:2609.11934v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: In networked dynamical systems, the parameter of primary mechanistic interest is signed interaction structure. Recovering this structure from perturbation time-series data is a fundamental identification problem, compounded by three coupled obstacles: the combinatorial complexity of interaction architectures, ambiguity of causal attribution under limited interventions, and state-dependent dynamics that confound structural inference. Each obstacle is structural in origin and calls for a structural solution. We address these challenges by adopting a reductionist approach, introducing Fundamental Dynamical Units (FDUs): signed three-node interaction patterns as composable primitives that convert the interaction hypothesis space into a finite, constructive, and tractable representation. We show that local interaction structure determines the pe

7. 🛰️ Physics-Informed Conformal Prediction: Embedding PDE Consistency into Distribution-Free Uncertainty Quantification for Neural Operators
What the feed says: arXiv:2609.11935v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Neural operators such as the Fourier Neural Operator (FNO) achieve remarkable accuracy in approximating solutions to partial differential equations (PDEs). However, providing rigorous uncertainty estimates remains an open challenge. We propose Physics-Informed Conformal Prediction (PI-CP), a framework that embeds PDE residuals into the nonconformity score of split conformal prediction, producing prediction intervals that are (i) distribution-free with provable coverage guarantees, and (ii) spatially adaptive when the PDE residual correlates with prediction error -- tighter where physics is well-satisfied, wider where it is violated. Additionally, we prove that FNO's translation equivariance creates a fundamental approximation barrier for PDEs with Dirichlet boundary conditions, and show that coordinate channels resolve this with up to 63x e

🔭 WHAT TO WATCH NEXT
- Whether discovery-only headlines gain an official announcement, model card, paper, repository, or reproducible benchmark.
- Whether performance and price claims hold up under independent measurement rather than launch-day comparisons.
- Whether any announced capability becomes available to ordinary developers instead of remaining a controlled demo.
🧪 METHODOLOGY NOTE
This edition is deliberately conservative. It uses the same collected RSS evidence as the normal report, keeps source provenance visible, labels discovery-only coverage as provisional, and does not invent missing technical details. A resilient edition is preferable to a silent gap in the archive.
