THE POST-ANTHROPOCENTRIC DEMOS AND CIVIC ORDER The aim of this article is to hermeneutically analyse the narratives associated with the post-anthropocentric turn and their implications for the transformation of political and civic order. These issues can be situated within a framework of broad political thought and theory based on the work of Rosi Braidotti, Karen Barad, Donna Haraway, Bruno Latour, or Michel Serres. Emphasising multispecies justice, the demands of post-humanist positions and adjustments to social theory refer to a concern for a stable future of human and non-human collectivities. They concern the expansion of the public sphere and the political emancipation of hitherto marginalised peripheral actors, reclaiming as they do their voice. This non-anthropocentric point of view refers to elements of nature as well as the technological world gaining legal status. This raises the question of its political consequences for society and the civil order. It involves the restoration or granting of legal and moral subjectivity to non-human entities. Will the next step, therefore, also be to give them political subjectivity and a revolution to match the new social contract? The structure of the text addresses issues such as the evolution of civil society, the possibilities and consequences of moving beyond the category of anthropos, the proposal of monism as ontological egalitarianism, the presentation of examples of non-human actors in the public sphere and Latour’s project of a parliament of things – the pluriversum.

Research on Submersible Position Prediction Based on Kalman Filter Algorithm

The global situation of the world's submersible technology is experiencing a boom, with countries competing to develop advanced submersible equipment to explore the deep sea, undersea resources, and uncharted territories. With the wide range of applications of submersibles in various fields, the risks of communication loss and mechanical failures faced during their missions require the establishment of accurate predictive models of submersible positions to ensure safe and efficient rescue. In this study, a model containing equations of motion is developed from the motion characteristics of a submersible on the seafloor. Uncertainties such as sea currents, topography, and seawater density are considered, and a random walk model is used to simulate these effects to ensure that the model is closer to reality. Subsequently, combined with the Kalman filter algorithm, a time-dependent position prediction model is constructed in this study. The model can predict the position of the submersible in real-time, and after error analysis, it shows that the average variance and root mean square error are at a low level, which proves that its prediction is accurate and reliable, and provides strong technical support for the safe rescue of the submersible.

Quantumness of electron transport in quantum dot devices through Leggett–Garg inequalities: A non-equilibrium Green’s function approach

Although coherent manipulation of electronic states can be achieved in quantum dot (QD) devices by harnessing nanofabrication tools, it is often hard to fathom the extent to which these nanoelectronic devices can behave quantum mechanically. Witnessing their nonclassical nature would thus remain of paramount importance in the emerging world of quantum technologies, since the coherent dynamics of electronic states plays there a crucial role. Against this backdrop, we resort to the general framework of Leggett–Garg inequalities (LGI) as it allows for distinguishing the classical and quantum transport through nanostructures by way of various two-time correlation functions. Using the local charge detection at two different time, we investigate here theoretically whether any quantum violation of the original LGI exists with varying device configurations and parameters under both Markovian and non-Markovian dynamics. Two-time correlators within LGI are derived in terms of the non-equilibrium Green’s functions (NEGFs) by exactly solving the quantum Langevin equations. The present study of non-Markovian dynamics of quantum systems interacting with reservoirs is significant for understanding the relaxation phenomenon in the ultrafast transient regime to especially mimic what happens to high-speed quantum devices. We can potentially capture the effect of finite reservoir correlation time by accounting for level-broadening at the electrodes along with non-Markovian memory effects. Furthermore, the large bias restriction is no longer imposed in our calculations so that we can safely consider a finite bias between the electronic reservoirs. Our approach is likely to open up new possibilities of witnessing the quantumness for other quantum many-body systems as well that are driven out of the equilibrium.
