Abstract: This article presents genetic wave function collapse (WFC), a procedural level generation algorithm that mixes genetic optimization with WFC, a local adjacency constraints propagation ...

Deepfakes are at the door. There are two options: wait until they’re inside to craft a response – or take active steps to keep them out with effective deepfake detection. Transitioning from “reactive ...

Abstract: Quantum computers exhibit an inherent randomness, so it seems natural to consider them for procedural content generation. In this work, a quantum version of the famous (classical) wave ...

Theories of quantum mechanics predict that some particles can exist in superpositions, which essentially means that they can be in more than one state at once. When a particle's state is measured, ...

Scientists are unsure what drives wave function collapse in the quantum world, but according to some radical theories, gravity may play a role. Scientists determined that if those theories are true, ...

For decades, coral reefs throughout the Caribbean have been suffering from disease, pollution, overfishing and rising sea temperatures, yet most have continued to grow—until now. In 2023 and 2024, ...

Taking the temperature of the Hong Kong art market is rarely straightforward. While aggregate sales suggest cooling momentum, the resilience of blue-chip works – including the recent high-profile sale ...

Chernobyl could face 'catastrophic' collapse as repairs stall following Russian drone strike Failure to repair the protective structure around the nuclear site could unleash 'highly radioactive dust' ...

Quantum coin flip: In quantum mechanics, wavefunction collapse is traditionally regarded as an instantaneous event, but quantum state diffusion treats it as a gradual process, like a coin that wobbles ...

A study by physicists affiliated with the Foundational Questions Institute (FQxI) found that time exhibits tiny intrinsic uncertainties, which limit clock precision. The physicists add that these ...

(C1) The output should contain only those NxN patterns of pixels that are present in the input. (Weak C2) Distribution of NxN patterns in the input should be similar to the distribution of NxN ...

A physics experiment published this year that claimed to measure a single photon in two places at once – and, in the process, discredit the idea of a multiverse – drew pushback from many sceptical ...
