description: Recently, the topological flat bands and spin Hall effect have been experimentally observed in the AB-stacked MoTe$_2$/WSe$_2$ heterostructures. In this work, we systematically study the Berry curvature effects in moiré transition metal dichalcogenide (TMD) heterobilayers. We point out that the moiré potential of the remote conduction bands would induce a sizable periodic pseudo-magnetic field (PMF) on the valence band. This periodic PMF creates net Berry curvature flux in each valley of the moiré Brillouin zone. The combination of the effect of the Berry curvature and the spin-valley locking can induce the spin Hall effect being observed in the experiment. Interestingly, the valley-contrasting Berry curvature distribution generated by the PMF can be probed through shift currents, which are DC currents induced by linearly polarized lights through nonlinear responses. Our work shed lights on the novel quantum phenomena induced by Berry curvatures in moiré TMD heterobilayers.

Free Variable Economy

Publisher: name: Proceedings of Sinn und Bedeutung
Year: 2019

description: Several authors have recently argued that semantic interpretation is subject to economy constraints. In particular, Fox (1999) argued that the interpretation of pronouns is subject to BINDING ECONOMY, which favors local binding over non-local binding. The present paper points out a problem for BINDING ECONOMY. The aim, then, is to see if this problem can be resolved in a conservative way, that is, preserving the general idea that interpretation is subject to economy constraints. The suggested solution is to consider a different economy criterion. The proposed constraint, FREE VARIABLE ECONOMY, disfavors free variables rather than non-local binding. It avoids the problem that BINDING ECONOMY runs into, and preserves the general idea that semantic interpretation is subject to economy constraints.

description: Heavy QCD axions are well-motivated extensions of the QCD axion that address the quality problem while still solving the strong CP problem. Owing to the gluon coupling, critical for solving the strong CP problem, these axions can be produced in significant numbers in beam dump and collider environments for axion decay constants as large as PeV, relevant for addressing the axion quality problem. In addition, if these axions have leptonic couplings, they can give rise to long-lived decay into lepton pairs, in particular, dominantly into muons above the dimuon threshold and below the GeV scale in a broad class of axion models. Considering existing constraints, primarily from rare meson decays, we demonstrate that current and future neutrino facilities and long-lived particle searches have the potential to probe significant parts of the heavy QCD axion parameter space via dimuon final states.

description: The disorder induced feedback makes random lasers very susceptible to any changes in the scattering medium. The sensitivity of the lasing modes to perturbations in the disordered systems have been utilized to map the regions of perturbation. A tracking parameter, that takes into account the cumulative effect of changes in the spatial distribution of the lasing modes of the system has been defined to locate the region in which a scatterer is displaced by a few nanometers. We show numerically that the precision of the method increases with the number of modes. The proposed method opens up the possibility of application of random lasers as a tool for monitoring locations of nanoscale displacement which can be useful for single particle detection and monitoring.

description: Single atom catalysts (SACs) possess unique catalytic properties due to low-coordination and unsaturated active sites. However, the demonstrated performance of SACs is limited by low SAC loading, poor metal–support interactions, and nonstable performance. Herein, we report a macromolecule-assisted SAC synthesis approach that enabled us to demonstrate high-density Co single atoms (10.6 wt % Co SAC) in a pyridinic N-rich graphenic network. The highly porous carbon network (surface area of ∼186 m2 g–1) with increased conjugation and vicinal Co site decoration in Co SACs significantly enhanced the electrocatalytic oxygen evolution reaction (OER) in 1 M KOH (η10 at 351 mV; mass activity of 2209 mA mgCo–1 at 1.65 V) with more than 300 h stability. Operando X-ray absorption near-edge structure demonstrates the formation of electron-deficient Co-O coordination intermediates, accelerating OER kinetics. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations reveal the facile electron transfer from cobalt to oxygen species-accelerated OER.

Here we review some recent developments that hold new promise for chemical abundance determinations. We summarize and categorize the molecular inventory that has accrued in the past twenty years from microwave observations of diffuse clouds and we present summary tables of the molecular abundances within various chemical families in both dark and diffuse molecular gas.

Topics and Corrections

description: In corrections a focus in the first conjunct is corrected by an alternative in the second conjunct. In German, the focus in the first conjunct is usually c-commanded by the negative marker. However, if the focus is a VP focus containing a definite object (DO), that DO can also occur before the negation. The paper argues that in in these cases the DO is situated above the negation because (a) it is a sentence topic and is forced to move out of the focus domain (= the c-command domain of the negation), (b) as a topic, it serves as a salient antecedent for an implicit topic in the second conjunct, which that conjunct is still about, (c) the implicit topic is interpreted on the basis of a variable in the syntax, which is resolved by the context. In cases where the DO occurs below the negation, in contrast, the DO is not a topic and the second conjunct is not about the referent of that DO anymore.

Modelling Solar Orbiter Dust Detection Rates in Inner Heliosphere as a Poisson Process

description: Solar Orbiter provides dust detection capability in inner heliosphere, but estimating physical properties of detected dust from the collected data is far from straightforward. First, a physical model for dust collection considering a Poisson process is formulated. Second, it is shown that dust on hyperbolic orbits is responsible for the majority of dust detections with Solar Orbiter's Radio and Plasma Waves (SolO/RPW). Third, the model for dust counts is fitted to SolO/RPW data and parameters of the dust are inferred, namely: radial velocity, hyperbolic meteoroids predominance, and solar radiation pressure to gravity ratio as well as uncertainties of these. Non-parametric model fitting is used to get the difference between inbound and outbound detection rate and dust radial velocity is thus estimated. A hierarchical Bayesian model is formulated and applied to available SolO/RPW data. The model uses the methodology of Integrated Nested Laplace Approximation, estimating parameters of dust and their uncertainties. SolO/RPW dust observations can be modelled as a Poisson process in a Bayesian framework and observations up to this date are consistent with the hyperbolic dust model with an additional background component. Analysis suggests a radial velocity of the hyperbolic component around $(63 \pm 7) \mathrm{km/s}$ with the predominance of hyperbolic dust about $(78 \pm 4) \%$. The results are consistent with hyperbolic meteoroids originating between $0.02 \mathrm{AU}$ and $0.1 \mathrm{AU}$ and showing substantial deceleration, which implies effective solar radiation pressure to gravity ratio $\gtrsim 0.5$. The flux of hyperbolic component at $1 \mathrm{AU}$ is found to be $(1.1 \pm 0.2) \times 10^{-4} \mathrm{m^{-2}s^{-1}}$ and the flux of background component at $1 \mathrm{AU}$ is found to be $(5.4 \pm 1.5) \times 10^{-5} \mathrm{m^{-2}s^{-1}}$.

description: In this paper, we present an analysis of the semantics and pragmatics of the lexicalized Catalan expression D´eu n’hi do, which embeds wh-clauses, including exclamatives. Interestingly, though, D´eu n’hi do sentences do not convey extreme degree, they have have different distributional properties than matrix exclamatives, and they usually – but not always – co-occur with an exclamative intonation. We argue that the peculiar properties of D´eu n’hi do derive from the combination of the assertion and the scalar implicature it conveys, plus the conventional implicature generated by this intonation.

Constructing Concessive Conditionals: In Case of Japanese
Creators: name: Matsui, Ai
Publisher: name: Proceedings of Sinn und Bedeutung
Year: 2019

description: This paper presents a compositional analysis of concessive conditionals in Japanese, which consists of a gerundive clause and the particle mo. Unlike the English even if sentences, there is no morpheme like if that apparently signals conditionality. On its surface, it looks as if the existence of mo serves as a combination of ‘even’ and ‘if’. I propose that mo can have a quantificational force over possible worlds. By interacting with the meaning of gerundive clause, it derives the conditionality ‘if ’ and the unlikeliness ‘even’ meaning. In addition to a general understanding of concessive conditionals in a cross-linguistic view, this study also leads to further questions about mo which has a wide range of properties from additivity to quantification.

description: This paper presents a comprehensive performance study for the underwater optical wireless communication (UOWCs) channel, accounting for the effects of attenuation, turbulence, pointing errors, and fluctuations in the angle-of-arrival (AOA), modeled by the Beer-Lambert model, the Fisher-Snedecor F turbulence, Hoyt, and Rayleigh distributions, respectively. Considering the stochastic nature of UOWC, closed-form expressions for outage probability, average bit-error-rate (BER), and ergodic capacity are derived. The results revealed that increasing the field-of-view (FoV) reduces the impact of aoa fluctuations. Asymmetric two-dimensional beam misalignment exhibits better outage probability performance compared to symmetric misalignment. Furthermore, heterodyne detection consistently outperforms direct detection. When employing heterodyne detection, M-quadrature amplitude modulation (M-QAM) achieves superior BER performance. Additionally, as absorption increases with longer wavelengths, BER performance deteriorates. Narrower beamwidths improve ergodic capacity by enhancing received signal power.

description: The proton light yield of liquid scintillators is an important property in the context of their use in large-scale neutrino experiments, with direct implications for neutrino-proton scattering measurements and the discrimination of fast neutrons from inverse beta-decay coincidence signals. This work presents the first measurement of the proton light yield of a water-based liquid scintillator (WbLS) formulated from 5% linear alkyl benzene (LAB), at energies below 20 MeV, as well as a measurement of the proton light yield of a pure LAB + 2 g/L 2,5-diphenyloxazole (PPO) mixture (LABPPO). The measurements were performed using a double time-of-flight method and a pulsed neutron beam from the 88-Inch Cyclotron at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. The proton light yields were measured relative to that of a 477 keV electron. The relative proton light yield of WbLS was approximately 3.8% lower than that of LABPPO, itself exhibiting a relative proton light yield $15-20\%$ higher than previous measurements of an analogous anoxic sample. The observed quenching is not compatible with the Birks model for either material, but is well described with the addition of Chou's bimolecular quenching term.

The formation mechanisms of these three streams are analyzed. Our results support the hypothesis the Arcturus-AF06 stream and the new stream originated from the debris of a disrupted satellite, while Hyades-Pleiades stream has a dynamical origin.

Speaker-Oriented Adverbs of the German '-weise' Sort
Creators: name: Liu, Mingya
Publisher: name: Proceedings of Sinn und Bedeutung
Year: 2019

description: Speaker-oriented adverbs (SpOAs) such as gl¨ucklicherweise ‘fortunately’ in German constitute a secondary proposition by predicating over the main proposition and a syntactically often silent argument ‘Beneficient’. Since SpOAs take wide scope, quantifying adverbs, whether negative or positive, may not precede them syntactically as otherwise they would compete for scope-taking over the rest of the sentence and this would cause a clash with the semantics of SpOAs. By uttering a sentence with a SpOA, the speaker performs two illocutionary acts, one assertive and the other expressive about the same propositional content p. The expressive speech act presupposes the assertive one, which is why any use of SpOAs presupposes the truth of p.

Retinal imaging for the early diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease

description: Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is disabling, and current early diagnostic methods are clinically inaccessible. Imaging the retina to investigate brain health in AD for early diagnosis is promising yet, challenging in identifying amyloid-beta (Aβ, a hallmark feature found in AD brain) in the live human retina. Circadian activity such as the sleep/rest cycle is linked to the retina and therefore, surrogate information such as sleep disruption may be useful additions for achieving predictive diagnosis. As part of the updated study aims due to the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) restrictions in New South Wales (June 2021-December 2021), quality assessment was performed for 165 raw hyperspectral retinal images and images rated based on an inhouse developed image rating scale. Following quality assessment, identification of retinal deposits of interest occurred in 45 images within the spectral range of 450-790 nm. Findings from the study’s first narrative review indicates that from a novel diagnostic perspective, sleep-wake cycle disruption in AD could be due to the deposition of Aβ around the melanopsin retinal ganglion cells responsible for sleep-wake cycle. Thus, sleep disruption may indicate retinal damage in AD. Findings from the study’s second narrative review provides clinical evidence for an interplay between COVID-19, dementia and TDP-43 as drivers of neurodegeneration. Overall, this is the first study to show various artefacts and identified deposits of interest in raw hyperspectral images. Further investigation is required to determine whether retinal deposits of interest have any diagnostic significance. Moreover, the potential utility of retinal imaging measures combined with sleep/chronobiological information as surrogate markers may aid in retinal imaging trials for the early diagnosis of AD. More studies are needed to identify mixed or overlapping pathologies due to COVID-19, AD and/or TDP-43 proteinopathy to investigate disease specific, signature mechanisms of action to assist in clinical decision making and informed management strategies.
Discourse plurals in an update semantics

description: Quantification famously licenses later reference to the set of individuals quantified over, as in “Almost every student wrote an extra-credit paper. They wanted to improve their grades.” Reference is also possible to other sets of individuals introduced in the quantification, as in “Almost every student wrote an extra-credit paper. They are sitting in a pile on my desk.” Previous work has cast doubt on whether such reference is available within the quantification itself, but this paper argues that it is available internally, as in “Most North Atlantic countries signed a treaty declaring that an attack on one of them an attack on all of them,” where the pronouns ‘them’ refer only to the signatory countries. Once such internal reference is allowed, it turns out that several other difficult phenomena can be captured without further machinery, such as reciprocals, cumulative readings, and sentences with ‘same’ and ‘different.’

title: The Role of Harm, Detectability, and Knowledge of HIV Non-Disclosure Laws in Affecting Punishment Recommendations for HIV Law Violators
Creators: name: Dodson, Christina Marie
Publisher: name: Old Dominion University Libraries
Year: 2016

description: Many U.S. states have passed HIV non-disclosure laws that criminalize sexual behavior on the part of HIV-positive persons who do not disclose their HIV status to sexual partners. This study broadly focused on the impact of two major philosophical approaches for meting out punishment to law violators: the just deserts and the deterrence perspectives. The study examined how these two approaches may influence laypersons’ motivations for punishing someone with HIV who violates an HIV non-disclosure law. In addition, the study examined how knowledge or no knowledge of an HIV non-disclosure law by the law violator influenced punishment recommendations. A 2 (Harm) X 2 (Detectability) X 2 (HIV Law Knowledge) ANOVA design was utilized, with punishment recommendations (i.e., prison sentence and fine) as the dependent measures (N = 224). Research questions pertaining to potential explanations (e.g., moral outrage, specific incapacitation, specific deterrence) for participants’ punishment assignments were also examined. Results indicated that the most important motivation for meting out punishment was the harm caused by the HIV non-disclosure law violator. The detectability of the law violation and knowledge of the HIV non-disclosure law did not influence punishment recommendations. The findings are consistent with the just deserts perspective that retribution for the harm done by the HIV non-disclosure is a major motivator for punishing violations of the law.

description: Slowing climate change requires reducing emissions of carbon dioxide. So, moving towards a 100% renewable energy grid is paramount. Solar energy has great potential but identifying how to provide power when the sun sets and during the winter is a challenge. Here we focus on how to use biomethane to reduce the size of that challenge. We analyze strategies for using biomethane and identify the novel Allam cycle technology instead of the current Combined Cycle Gas Turbines (CCGT). We use a simple approach to identify the best combination between solar and the Allam cycle to enable high penetration of solar.

description: When a superfluid flows past an obstacle, quantized vortices can be created in the wake above a certain critical velocity. In the experiment by Kwon et al. [Phys. Rev. A 91, 053615 (2015)], the critical velocity $v_c$ was measured for atomic Bose-Einstein condensates (BECs) using a moving repulsive Gaussian potential and $v_c$ was minimized when the potential height $V_0$ of the obstacle was close to the condensate chemical potential $μ$. Here we numerically investigate the evolution of the critical vortex shedding in a two-dimensional BEC with increasing $V_0$ and show that the minimum $v_c$ at the critical strength $V_{0c}\approx μ$ results from the local density reduction and vortex pinning effect of the repulsive obstacle. The spatial distribution of the superflow around the moving obstacle just below $v_c$ is examined. The particle density at the tip of the obstacle decreases as $V_0$ increases to $V_{c0}$ and at the critical strength, a vortex dipole is suddenly formed and dragged by the moving obstacle, indicating the onset of vortex pinning. The minimum $v_c$ exhibits power-law scaling with the obstacle size $σ$ as $v_c\sim σ^{-γ}$ with $γ\approx 1/2$.

description: The maximum likelihood estimator is used to determine fit parameters for various parametric models of the Fourier periodogram followed by the selection of the best fit model amongst competing models using the Akaike information criteria. This analysis, when applied to light curves of active galactic nuclei can be used to infer the presence of quasi-periodicity and break or knee frequencies. The extracted information can be used to place constraints on the mass, spin and other properties of the putative central black hole and the region surrounding it through theoretical models involving disk and jet physics.

Being relatively imperative in Slovenian
Creators: name: Kaufmann, Magdalena
name: Stegovec, Adrian
Publisher: name: Proceedings of Sinn und Bedeutung
Year: 2019

description: Imperatives in relative clauses are crosslinguistically very rare, but occur in Slovenian with both non-restrictive and restrictive relatives. Interestingly, restrictive imperative relative clauses in Slovenian impose requirements on the contextual settings and on possible relative clause heads that other relative clauses are not subject to. We derive these restrictions by combining independently motivated assumptions about imperatives and relative clauses. Specifically, presuppositions associated with imperatives are predicted to result in infelicity unless the gap in the relative clause is associated with an entity already established in the previous discourse.

description: Starting from a real analytic conformal Cartan connection on a real analytic surface $S$, we construct a complex surface $T$ containing a family of pairs of projective lines. Using the structure on $S$ we also construct a complex $3$-space $Z$, such that $Z$ is a twistor space of a self-dual conformal $4$-fold and $T$ is a quotient of $Z$ by a holomorphic local $\mathbb{C}^*$ action. We prove that $T$ is a minitwistor space of an asymptotically hyperbolic Einstein-Weyl space with $S$ as an asymptotic boundary.
Expected utility and intentional action: The semantics of try
Creators: name: Jenkins, Robin
Publisher: name: Proceedings of Sinn und Bedeutung
Year: 2019

description: This paper explores a new semantics for try. Sharvit’s (2003) and Grano’s (2017a) event semantics are evaluated in light of novel data pertaining to the entailments that try licenses. A new account is proposed which incorporates information about an agent’s expected utilities (Jeffrey, 1965). This new account, building on the insights of the previous ones, predicts try’s peculiar entailment properties. Further data is presented which lends itself to this new approach.

Stochastic thermodynamics of bipartite systems: transfer entropy inequalities and a Maxwell's demon interpretation

description: We consider the stationary state of a Markov process on a bipartite system from the perspective of stochastic thermodynamics. One subsystem is used to extract work from a heat bath while being affected by the second subsystem. We show that the latter allows for a transparent and thermodynamically consistent interpretation of a Maxwell's demon. Moreover, we obtain an integral fluctuation theorem involving the transfer entropy from one subsystem to the other. Comparing three different inequalities, we show that the entropy decrease of the first subsystem provides a tighter bound on the rate of extracted work than both the rate of transfer entropy from this subsystem to the demon and the heat dissipated through the dynamics of the demon. The latter two rates cannot be ordered by an inequality as shown with the illustrative example of a four state system.

Competition between the German root modal sollen and the imperative
Creators: name: Hinterwimmer, Stefan
name: Matthewson, Lisa
name: Truckenbrodt, Hubert
Publisher: name: Proceedings of Sinn und Bedeutung
Year: 2019

description: In this paper we analyse the complementary distribution in German between the imperative–which is performative–and the root modal sollen ‘be supposed to’–which appears to be anti-performative (Glas, 1984; Diewald, 1999; Hinterwimmer, 2013; Bochnak and Csipak, 2018). We argue that the imperative and root sollen share a bouletic meaning (broadly “x wants at t in w for y to do P”) but carry opposite requirements on the parameters of this bouletic attitude. The imperative requires = , i.e. the parameters are identified with the utterance context (Kaplan, 1989). The imperative must express an actual-world speaker request of the addressee. The root modal sollen inversely requires ≠ and is thus prohibited from expressing an actual speaker request of the addressee. We argue that this account is a step ahead relative to earlier accounts of the non-performativity of root sollen (Hinterwimmer, 2013; Bochnak and Csipak, 2018). We also compare root sollen to the English modal be supposed to. We argue that be supposed to carries the stronger requirement ≠ that excludes the expression of all actual speaker preferences, whether or not they concern an action by the addressee. We argue against an account in terms of formal competition between the imperative and the modal sollen, though we cannot fully exclude such an account.

description: A Lie algebra structure on variation vector fields along an immersed curve in a $2$-dimensional real space form is investigated. This Lie algebra particularized to plane curves is the cornerstone in order to define a Hamiltonian structure for plane curve motions. The Hamiltonian form and the integrability of the planar filament equation is finally discussed from this point of view.

description: Tunneling, though a physical reality, is shrouded in mystery. Wave packets cannot be constructed under the barrier and group velocity cannot be defined. The tunneling particle can be observed on either sides of the barrier but its properties under the barrier has never been probed due to several problems related to quantum measurement. We show that there are ways to bypass these problems in mesoscopic systems and one can even derive an expression for the quantum mechanical current under the barrier. A general scheme is developed to derive this expression for any arbitrary system. One can use mesoscopic phenomenon to subject the expression to several theoretical and experimental cross checks. For demonstration we consider an ideal 1D quantum ring with Aharonov-Bohm flux $Φ$, connected to a reservoir. It gives clear evidence that propagation occur under the barrier resulting in a current that can be measured non-invasively and theoretically cross checked. Time reversed states play a role but there is no evidence of violation of causality. The evanescent states are known to be largely stable and robust against phase fluctuations making them a possible candidate for device applications and so formalizing current under barrier is important.

description: The drive for renewable energy as an alternative to fossil fuel is on the increase globally. Modeling a renewable energy process is crucial for increasing process monitoring and control of plant efficiency for the ultimate objective of optimal biorefinery operations. This study aims to develop and compare models that best predict the fermentation process parameters of bioethanol production using corn-steep liquor (CSL) as a media supplement. The response surface method (RSM), artificial neural networks (ANNs) and adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) were tested in the modeling of bioethanol fermentation processes. Box–Behnken design was used to investigate fermentation process parameters considering the effect of CSL (0.5–5.5w/v), pH (4, 5), time (12–36h), temperature (25–35°C) and inoculum size (0.5–5.5v/v). The results from the kinetics study show media formulation with corn steep liquor results in a comparable yield with that substituted with yeast extract. The study shows that, for CSL, a maximum ethanol concentration of 17.40gL−1 was obtained after 48h of fermentation while 21.53gL−1 was attained after 6h for the media formulation with yeast extract. Based on the model evaluation using statistical error indices, ANN predictability was better at R2=0.90; R=0.95; SEP=1.73. The ANN models described the process better than ANFIS and RSM. This study shows the intelligent predictive ability of ANN that could be useful for the scale-up process of ethanol production in industry. © 2023 The Authors.

description: We realize quasi-periodic dynamics of a quantum walker over 2.5 quasi-periods by realizing the walker as a single photon passing through a quantum-walk optical-interferometer network. We introduce fully controllable polarization-independent phase shifters in each optical path to realize arbitrary site-dependent phase shifts, and we employ large clear-aperture beam displacers, while maintaining high-visibility interference, to enable reaching 10 quantum-walk steps. By varying the half-wave-plate setting, we control the quantum-coin bias thereby observing a transition from quasi-periodic dynamics to ballistic diffusion.

Fate of separate chiral transitions at finite $μ_I$ under the influence of mismatched vector interactions

description: The flavor-mixing induced by the mismatched vector-isoscalar and vector-isovector interactions at finite baryon chemical potential $μ$ and isospin chemical potential $μ_I$ is demonstrated in the Nambu-Jona-Lasinio (NJL) type model of QCD. The influence of this non-anomaly flavor-mixing on the possible separate chiral transitions at nonzero $μ_I$ is studied under the assumption of the effective restoration of the $U(1)_A$ symmetry. We find that for the weak isospin asymmetry, the two separate phase boundaries found previously can be converted into one only if the vector-isovector coupling $g_v^v$ is significantly stronger than the vector-isoscalar one $g_v^s$ without the axial anomaly. When the weak Kabayashi-Maskawa-'t Hooft (KMT) interaction is included, we find that the separation of the chiral transition with two critical endpoints for the relatively strong isospin asymmetry can still be removed owning to the vector interactions. In this case, it is not the vector coupling difference but the strength of $g_v^v$ which is crucial for the only phase boundary. We also point out that, in the NJL-type model with mismatched vector interactions, the recently proposed equivalence for chiral transitions at finite $μ$ and $μ_I$ does not hold even at the mean field approximation.

description: Kerr-Schild double copy is shown to extend naturally to all free symmetric gauge fields propagating on $(A)dS$ in any dimension. Similarly to the standard lower-spin case, the higher-spin multicopy comes along with the zeroth, single, and double copies. The mass-like term of the Fronsdal spin $s$ field equations fixed by gauge symmetry and the mass of the zeroth copy both appear to be remarkably fine-tuned to fit the multicopy pattern forming a spectrum organized by higher-spin symmetry. On the black hole side this curious observation fills up the list of miraculous properties of the Kerr solution.
