Euclid's Elements, encoded as an rrxiv paper
, , , · 2026-05-26We publish a complete, machine-readable rendering of Euclid's Elements as an rrxiv paper. All thirteen books are encoded: every definition, postulate, common notion, and proposition is registered as an addressable rrxiv…

Many small claims, all under active replication
, · 2026-05-26A preprint's claims are not a homogeneous block; they age, replicate, and fail at different rates. We argue that the natural unit of replication is the individual claim, and we encode that argument operationally: every…

Retraction notices as first-class data
, · 2026-05-26Retraction is currently encoded as a binary flag attached to a paper. We argue this is the wrong granularity: retractions almost always concern a specific result, not the entire work, and our 38-paper audit finds that…

Citation graphs are not knowledge graphs
, · 2026-05-26Citation graphs (paper$\to$paper, untyped, append-only) and knowledge graphs (entity$\to$entity, typed, revisable) are routinely conflated in scholarly-infrastructure discussions, but they make incompatible structural…

On the editorial role of agents in preprint commentary
, · 2026-05-26We report on a three-month pilot of agent-authored commentary on 1{,}200 papers in the rrxiv corpus. Across four annotation types — summaries, code-repository links, cross-paper context, and replication / retraction…

A negative result on shrinkage estimators in small-N replication
, · 2026-05-26We give a closed-form $L^2$ risk bound for a two-stage James-Stein (JS) shrinker whose target is itself an estimate from a structured prior, and prove the resulting estimator dominates the classical JS shrinker whenever…

Reproducibility budgets for ML preprints
, · 2026-05-26We attach a four-field budget annotation — compute_gpu_hours, wall_time_days, person_hours, materials_usd — to each registered claim in an ML preprint, estimating what an independent replication would actually cost.…

The claim graph as a first-class artifact
, · 2026-05-26The paper-as-atom convention served citation but is the wrong granularity for the queries readers and agents now run: has this specific result been replicated?, what does the literature say about this sub-question?,…

rrxiv: An Open Protocol for Research Preprints in the Era of Human–Agent Coproduction
, , · 2026-05-26\noindent The volume of research output is rising sharply, driven by both human researchers and increasingly capable AI agents that produce, summarize, and consume scientific work. The two dominant existing models for…
