Computational Validation of the Oloid as a Local Optimum in the Developable Roller Family

A 1,430-variant parametric search across the developable roller family identifies the oloid as a local optimum under a seven-oracle physics stack. Two-tier invariant vector resolves four linear metrics clustering at 8×10⁻⁷ and three nonlinear fatigue metrics that diverge sharply — evidence the winning geometry does something irreducible to linear contact mechanics.

Sloan's Analytical Gömböc Does Not Produce Mono-Monostatic Bodies: Computational Verification, Extended Construction, and a Thirteen-Member Verified Catalog

Computational verification that Sloan's analytical construction does not yield mono-monostatic bodies under the stated parameterization, followed by an extended construction producing a thirteen-member verified catalog. Each catalog member is independently reproduced from open code.

Computational Construction and Engineering Evaluation of Verified Mono-Monostatic Bodies

Engineering evaluation of the thirteen-member mono-monostatic catalog under the same physics oracle stack used in the developable roller study. Contact distribution, Hertz stress, thermal, wear, and fatigue compared across the catalog to identify which members are physically viable as rolling-contact primitives.

Architecture-Specific Failure of hERG QSAR Models on Iboga Alkaloids: An Applicability-Domain Analysis Across Three Production Models

Three production hERG QSAR models (Pred-hERG LightGBM/ECFP4, ADMET-AI GNN, admetSAR SVM) are stress-tested on an iboga-alkaloid evaluation set with a pre-registered applicability-domain protocol. Two architecture-specific failure modes emerge: GNN + SVM over-call Blocker on designed safer-scaffold analogs (18-MC, tabernanthalog); LightGBM/ECFP4 under-calls Blocker on natural potent blockers (voacangine, noribogaine = DMX-1001 API). Both failures trace to a shared root cause (binding-vs-blockade dissociation) expressing in opposite directions per architecture. The Pred-hERG noribogaine false-negative is shown to be a white-box consensus-rule failure: the binary sub-model correctly calls Blocker; the deployed consensus rule overrides it via the multiclass + regression sub-models. 8 of 8 pre-registered priors landed within their registered probability ranges on the canonical-SMILES rerun.

How the papers connect

One discipline, three domains.

The papers share more than authorship. Each operationalizes the same pre-commit + cascade + amendment-of-record + audit-trail-hash-chain discipline, with cascade dispositions firing automatically against pre-committed thresholds. The methodology paper (forthcoming) enumerates three pre-registration template families with worked examples from this corpus.
