Observable Performance Does Not Fully Reflect Adaptive System Organization: A Multi-Level Analysis of Gait Dynamics Under Occlusal Constraint

arXiv:2605. 00778v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: In biomechanical systems, observable performance is often used as a proxy for underlying organization, although similar outputs may arise from different adaptive configurations.

From Observed Viability to Internal Predictive Approximation: A Single-Subject Latent-Space Analysis of Gait Dynamics Under Occlusal Constraint

arXiv:2605. 15862v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Understanding adaptive biomechanical systems requires distinguishing observable performance, static multivariate representation, longitudinal displacement, and internal approximation of observed change.

From Performance to Representational Adequacy: A Representational Bootstrap Framework for Adaptive Biological Systems

arXiv:2606. 01374v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Observable performance is commonly used to characterize biological systems, yet aggregated outputs may remain insufficient for uniquely resolving observational conditions, and richer multivariate representations may retain substantial ambiguity.

Aggregate, Don't Adapt: Subject-Level Posterior Aggregation and Transductive Calibration for Cross-Site Parkinsonian Gait Severity

The paper reports the winning solution to the MoCha 2026 Parkinsonian Gait Benchmark, achieving a macro‑F1 score of 0.6945 on unseen clinical sites. The approach relies on a frozen public motion encoder followed by a single 4×512 linear layer, and gains are largely attributed to three key steps: exact replication of the benchmark’s head recipe, averaging per‑walk posteriors at the subject level, and a label‑free transductive calibration of feature means and decision thresholds. Extensive ablation studies show that fine‑tuning the encoder or using alternative encoders does not improve performance, and the subject‑level aggregation is identified as the primary contributor to the top score.

Markerless Motion Capture in Routine Clinical Upper Limb Assessments: Validity and Insights Beyond Ordinal Scoring

The Action Research Arm Test (ARAT) is a widely-used upper limb outcome measure in neurorehabilitation, but its ordinal scoring is subjective and suffers from limited sensitivity and specificity. We evaluated whether artificial-intelligence (AI)-based markerless motion capture (MMC), embedded into ARAT assessments during clinical routine, accurately reconstructs upper limb movement and yields valid, objective kinematic metrics carrying clinically meaningful information beyond the ordinal score.
