How to Cite This Work

If you use the Omega Scanner in your research, please cite appropriately based on how you used it:

Primary Citation (Methodology)

For the core Omega Scanner methodology and theoretical framework:

@software{omega_scanner_2025,
  author = {Szyndler, Remy and {Council of Four, AI Systems}},
  title = {Omega Scanner: Information-Theoretic Detection of Long-Range Structure},
  year = {2025},
  url = {https://github.com/oldwalls/omega},
  note = {Collaborative development with GPT-5, Claude Sonnet, and Gemini}
}

Specific Components

If using particular algorithmic components:

Information Bottleneck Clustering:

@software{omega_ib_labeler_2025,
  author = {Szyndler, Remy and {Council of Four, AI Systems}},
  title = {Hierarchical Agglomerative Clustering for Context Distributions},
  year = {2025},
  howpublished = {\url{https://github.com/oldwalls/omega/blob/main/synthetic/algorithms/code/alphametrics.py}}
}

Conditional Coding Framework:

@software{omega_cond_coder_2025,
  author = {Szyndler, Remy and {Council of Four, AI Systems}},
  title = {Label-Gated N-gram Models for Compression Analysis},
  year = {2025},
  howpublished = {\url{https://github.com/oldwalls/omega/blob/main/algorithms/code/cond_coder.py}}
}

Results and Findings

If reporting results from using the scanner:

@misc{omega_synthetic_results_2025,
  author = {Szyndler, Remy {Council of Four, AI systems}},
  title = {Omega-Positive Signatures in Synthetic Structured Sequences},
  year = {2025},
  howpublished = {GitHub repository},
  url = {https://github.com/oldwalls/omega/tree/main/synthetic}
}

Academic Paper Format

If citing in running text:

"We employed the Omega Scanner methodology (Szyndler & Council of Four, 2025) to detect long-range informational structure in our dataset..."

"Following the conditional coding framework described in the Omega Scanner documentation (Szyndler, 2025), we measured ΔI_pred as..."

Acknowledging Replication or Extension

If you replicated our results:

"We successfully replicated the Ω-positive signatures reported by Szyndler & Council of Four (2025) using [dataset/parameters]..."

If you extended the methodology:

"Building on the Omega Scanner framework (Szyndler & Council of Four, 2025), we developed [your extension]..."

If you found different results:

"Contrary to findings in Szyndler & Council of Four (2025), our analysis of [dataset] showed [your finding]..."

Attribution Guidelines

Required Attribution:

  • When using the scanner methodology
  • When using provided datasets
  • When building on the theoretical framework
  • When reporting replication results

Recommended Attribution:

  • When inspired by the approach but using different implementation
  • When comparing to Omega Scanner results
  • When citing negative or contradictory findings

Not Required (but appreciated):

  • Casual mentions in blog posts or informal write-ups
  • Internal research notes or pilot studies
  • Teaching materials or tutorials

Collaborative Nature

This project represents collaboration between human intuition (Remy Szyndler) and AI systems (GPT-5, Claude Sonnet, Gemini). When citing:

  • For scientific papers: Use the formal citation formats above
  • For technical documentation: Acknowledge the collaborative development process
  • For critical analysis: Evaluate the methodology on its technical merits regardless of authorship

Questions About Citation?

  • Open an issue if uncertain about proper attribution
  • Email for permission regarding non-standard uses
  • See LICENSE file for legal requirements

Changes to Citation

This is version 1.0 of citation guidelines. If the project evolves significantly:

  • A formal preprint or paper may supersede these software citations
  • Versioned releases will have specific DOIs for precise citation
  • Major methodological changes will warrant separate citations

Check this file periodically for updates to preferred citation formats.
