This thesis-on macro-ontology, physics, logic, and metalogical principles-presents findings, results, theorems, and metatheory that correct long-standing defects and deficiencies of current standard model (SM) physics and cosmology. It enables elimination of artificial SM anomalies, paradoxes, logical fallacies, absurdities, and conflicts between t...

A socio-psychological analysis of ecocidal egomania, pandemic authoritarian personality disorder, etc. Abstract: This thesis analyses the causes, contributing factors, aggravating circumstances, and symptoms of the pandemic socio-cultural illnesses plaguing humanity and our habitat, Earth's biosphere. It includes a critique of inadequate approaches...

NOTE: This post is now a prepublication preprint of the work, soon to be submitted to appropriate journals. This article considers several brief theorems, proofs, and examples showing that Langlands' Program (LP), like Riemann's Hypothesis (RH) and most hard NP complete problems, cannot be completed successfully without solid footings in the bedroc...

Three previously posted papers (preprints) give exhaustive proofs, supporting examples, new theory and metatheory, with verifications of the solutions of several long-standing "open" problems (in the domain of pure mathematics). Yet, apparently, most well-respected mathematicians are unfamiliar with metamathematics and the whole of maths. They also...

Three previously posted draft preprints give exhaustive proofs, supporting examples, new theory and metatheory, with verifications of the solutions of several long-standing "open" problems (in the domain of pure mathematics). Yet, most well-respected mathematicians seem unwilling to read, consider, and review the solutions, the proofs and verificat...

Three previously posted draft preprints give exhaustive proofs, supporting examples, new theory and metatheory, with verifications of the solutions of [very] long-standing "open" problems (in the domain of pure mathematics). Yet, so far, they fail to attract the attention and/or serious consideration of well-respected mathematicians. So, this 3-pag...

A preprint draft, v.2e, for review and comment only. Abstract: This is necessarily an evolutionary work in progress. Its purpose and goal is enabling real progress of science, mathematics, society, and civilization. Thus, to accomplish the mission, upgrading the current sociocultural paradigm is essential. That makes holistic ontology and optimal e...

A meta-ontological proof of the metalogical principles that enable and sustain reality and mathematics: This revised preprint draft, rev.1c, for is review and comment only. All rights reserved. Several key terms and definitive explanations were added to the glossary, subsection SS1, along with many corrections and improvements of the text, theorems...

A meta-ontological proof of the metalogical principles that enable and sustain reality and mathematics: preprint draft, v.1c, for review and comment only. All rights reserved. / This draft contains extensive revisions & corrections, especially in the +/--90 pages of definitions of key terms & principles. The body of the main text is now approximate...

Abstract: This paper presents findings, results, and metatheory that verify proofs of various mathematical problems, theorems, meta-theorems, and principles that enable and sustain their possibility, existence, and validity. It refers to and supports the work and proofs of two other projects, re: the nature of mathematics and being. These results a...

Historical analysis, new discoveries, and explanation enable understanding of Riemann's Hypothesis (RH), his zeta function, and the principles enabling them. The work provides comprehensively definitive, unconditional proofs of Riemann's hypothesis, Goldbach's conjecture, the 'twin primes' conjecture, the Collatz conjecture, the Newcomb-Benford the...

Highly malignant brain tumors harbor the aberrant propensity for aerobic glycolysis, the excessive conversion of glucose to lactic acid even in the presence of ample tissue oxygen. Lactic acid is rapidly effluxed to the tumor microenvironment via a group of plasma-membrane transporters denoted monocarboxylate transporters (MCTs) to prevent “self-po...

Recent studies have found that the biological features of primary tumors are faithfully recapitulated when a patient's tumor is processed and then maintained as a 3-D spheroid in specialized cell culture media. However, a major drawback for maintenance and routine passage of primary tumors as spheroids has been the high cost of custom-formulated me...

Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) are the most malignant among brain tumors. They are frequently refractory to chemotherapy and radiotherapy with mean patient survival of approximately 6 months, despite surgical intervention. The highly glycolytic nature of glioblastomas describes their propensity to metabolize glucose to lactic acid at an elevated rat...
