paywalled. got a link?

Given that the IEEE stands for the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, you should be forgiven for thinking that this would be about transformers and the electric grid.

> This paper proposes a novel approach grounded in a fourfold pattern observed at multiple levels of granularity in nature, referred to as ‘ Kn′, ‘Po’, ‘Pr’, and ‘H’, which correlates with concepts of knowledge, presence, power, and harmony.

Triggers my crackpot radar. One of the authors has a bunch of other solo papers (ostensibly) about quantum mechanics that look similarly nuts, like this one:

https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/author/37086022058

> Hence, looking at Euler's Identity which comprises of numbers between the range ‘0’ to ‘4’, from the point of view of light, it becomes possible to understand quantum-level dynamics as an outcome of a multi-layered, symmetry-based model of light.

What the drugs.

I think the publishing venue says enough: "Annual Ubiquitous Computing, Electronics & Mobile Communication Conference"

Those numbers correspond with the 4 corners of the earth, you see. Each rotation of earth has 4 mid-days, 4 mid-nights, 4 sun-ups and 4 sun-downs. Ignorance of 4 day harmonic cubic nature indicts humans as unfit to live on earth!

Familiarity with the Time Cube really would of helped the author of this paper so he would not have to re-invent the 4 day harmonic cubic truth, sparing him from the ignorant one day linear folly that blinds humanity to the 4 simultaneous corners of Earth's divine rotation!

Sounds a lot like semi-profound bullshit to me..

It's a bit weird that such a paper (standard ML topic, would fit to NeurIPS, ICLR, ICML or so) is published in such a conference (IEEE Annual Ubiquitous Computing, Electronics & Mobile Communication Conference (UEMCON)), which seems not really the best fit. This indicates that the quality bar would not be reached for the top venues.

If you want to read some recent interesting ML papers (on Transformers, or whatever you care), check e.g. recent ICLR 2025 papers (https://openreview.net/group?id=ICLR.cc/2025/Conference#tab-...), or other recent venues.
