Topics — What a work is about. Nucleation holds whatever reading the owner files here, whether or not an Anthology of the SOTA topic could also hold it; instruction for ML practice belongs to the anthology (ADR-048). The words are seeded from the clusters the reading-time triage of 2026-09-25 found, and grow by decision.
Thermodynamics — the second law and its extensions read for themselves — entropy and entropy production, irreversibility, nonequilibrium steady states and their stability, dissipative structures, fluctuation theorems and stochastic thermodynamics, and the thermodynamics of computation and of life (ADR-020).

| CASE-190 | A kinetic construction of self-maintaining reconstruction: a brief encounter captures a fuel, connector and two-catalyst core into a box that stays invariant under bounded degradation, keeping its copying catalyst regenerated and a grounded teacher and an erasable student within bounded error; with a resource allocator holding reserved minima and a revisable copy rule, the certificate holds for every allocation and rule, because neither the information variables nor the rule feed back into maintenance | From A17 and A18 of the exchange “Analyze nucleation concepts” (2026-10-31), after the owner asked for “one system in which those conditions are all physically realized rather than assumed independently”, and then for an endogenous allocation controller with a barrier certificate. The certificates were rechecked by the reader of U16–U19, and two of A’s error bounds were loose. The simulations A17 and A18 report could not be checked: their code was in A’s sandbox. A19 later said “Our last model explicitly demonstrated the separation” between matched successors after a second injury; it did not, and that experiment was never run. | Active |
