SSRN에 워킹 페이퍼로 공개된 AI 관련 연구로, AI가 기업의 ‘크기’보다 ‘구조(Shape)’에 미치는 영향이 커리어에 더 중요하다고 주장한다. 논문은 주니어-시니어 비율(junior-to-senior ratio)을 통해 AI가 조직 구조를 어떻게 바꾸는지 분석한다.

Now on SSRN as a working paper! So much of the current discussion about AI is about what it could do to the size of the firm and not what it does to its SHAPE, which is what really matters for careers. In our paper, that is exactly what the junior-to-senior ratio captures:

Climate Change and Mental Health: The Hidden Impact of Temperature Fluctuations

Climate change discussions predominantly focus on ecological and economic consequences,frequently neglecting profound psychological implications. This paper examines the criticallink between temperature fluctuations and mental health stability, particularly for vulnerablepopulations with pre-existing conditions such as schizophrenia. By integrating physiologicalmechanisms—including regulatory disruption and the impairment of circadian rhythms—with personal observation and selected case contexts, this note highlights a “cascade ofvulnerability”. Special attention is given to lessons from disaster-recovery regions such asFukushima, arguing that environmental stability must be recognised as a medical necessity.The paper concludes that proactive mental health infrastructure and climate adaptationstrategies are essential for a resilient and equitable society. This paper is non-clinical andnon-diagnostic, and it does not propose diagnostic criteria or treatment protocols.

Impact of Japan's Nuclear Shutdown on the Macroeconomy, 2011–2024

This paper examines how Japan’s post-Fukushima nuclear shutdown affected itsmacroeconomy over the period 2011–2024. It focuses on the transmission mechanism fromthe loss of nuclear baseload power to higher energy imports, a persistent trade deficit, anddownward pressure on the yen.Using trade and energy statistics for 2011–2024, the paper argues that the suspension ofnuclear reactors significantly increased Japan’s dependence on imported LNG and coal. This,in turn, worsened the trade balance and contributed to a structurally weaker yen, amplifyingthe domestic impact of global energy and food price shocks. Japan’s experience offers acautionary case study for other countries considering large, rapid shifts in their energy mixwithout simultaneously securing alternative domestic capacity.The analysis is deliberately simple and stylised. It does not claim that energy alonedetermines the exchange rate. Rather, it shows how the nuclear shutdown created abackground of continuous energy-related outflows that interacted with monetary policy,global financial conditions and capital flows to shape the trajectory of the yen between 2011and 2024.

Reducing AI Hallucinations via Epistemic Error Resolution: An Engineering Framework Integrating Buddhist "Three Afflictions" and Second Physics

This paper proposes an engineering framework to reduce large-language-modelhallucinations by treating them as epistemic failures that arise when outputs lack a coherentSource of Action and responsibility attribution. We integrate a Buddhist taxonomy of threeafflictions—ignorance (avidyā), delusion (moha), and wrong view (mithyā-dṛṣṭi)—withSecond Physics quantities, including correspondence pressure A, existence phase φ(t),relational syntactic memory M ≡ E+δΨ, responsibility load ρ, and relational existence Exi(t).The proposed protocol follows a two-stage design: fluent drafting may use probabilisticgeneration, but final emission is gated by correspondence and responsibility constraints,including a responsibility-conservation check that detects responsibility leakage. Underexplicitly stated constraints, a broad class of responsibility-free assertions becomesstructurally excludable without sacrificing fluency. We outline implementable proxies andlimitations, and position the framework as an engineering language for designing “honestgeneration” under accountability.
