arXiv:2607. 26064v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: AI systems are becoming autonomous research agents that generate hypotheses, design experiments, and produce discoveries at scales beyond human oversight.

The paper introduces Publication Authority, a single-use, non-transferable capability that ensures AI-assisted claims can be independently challenged by providing a machine-readable, falsifiable publication record. It presents the PAC-2026 protocol, evaluates its fourth bounded semantic freeze (SF-4), and demonstrates through extensive modeling that the system enforces strict obligations on evidence, authorization, and lifecycle continuity. The study confirms internal coherence, bounded safety, and fault sensitivity, though it does not address factual truth or field efficacy.

arXiv:2606. 27386v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Scientific publication is still organized primarily around static manuscripts, even though much of scientific progress depends on tacit know-how: how to run code, reproduce figures, interpret edge cases, choose useful follow-up directions, and avoid failed paths.
