Este artigo analisa o governo de Nayib Bukele, em El Salvador, como expressão de um processo contemporâneo de bonapartização política na América Latina, em um período histórico no qual não existem contradições estruturais estratégicas entre as burguesias locais — seus partidos e governos — e o projeto imperialista estadunidense, marcado simultaneamente pela crise prolongada e pela perda relativa da hegemonia internacional dos Estados Unidos.Ao lado da imagem de “combatente” do crime, Bukele constrói uma imagem de modernizador da economia salvadorenha. Embora procure manter essa representação, o que se observa em seus governos é a articulação entre um aparato estatal repressivo, dirigido contra movimentos sociais, trabalhadores e oposições políticas, e uma “máquina de corrupção” que envolve uma rede formada por parentes, colaboradores próximos e membros de seu gabinete. O contraponto dessa imagem encontra-se no crescente endividamento junto ao Fundo Monetário Internacional (FMI), na submissão a programas de ajuste fiscal e nos indicadores sociais e laborais, que evidenciam um processo simultâneo de aprofundamento da pobreza, da informalidade e da vulnerabilidade social.Argumento neste artigo que a consolidação de seu regime se apoia na transformação do estado de exceção em mecanismo permanente de governo. Bukele concentra poderes no Executivo, subordinando o Legislativo e o Judiciário e ampliando o aparato repressivo estatal. A política de combate às gangues e de encarceramento em massa é examinada não apenas como estratégia de segurança pública, mas como instrumento mais amplo de controle social e criminalização de setores populares, trabalhadores, juventude pobre e opositores políticos. O artigo relaciona esse processo às condições estruturais da sociedade salvadorenha, marcadas por elevada informalidade do trabalho, pobreza, insegurança alimentar, dependência das remessas de emigrantes e crescente endividamento público. Examina também o projeto econômico desse governo, ancorado na liberalização regulatória, em incentivos ao capital estrangeiro e na expansão dos setores de tecnologia digital e criptomoedas, ao lado do incentivo ao turismo e à construção civil. Em paralelo, aprofunda-se a dependência financeira em relação ao Fundo Monetário Internacional (FMI). Por fim, o artigo ressalta o alinhamento político e ideológico entre Bukele e o trumpismo, materializado na cooperação migratória, carcerária, militar e comercial entre El Salvador e os Estados Unidos. O chamado “modelo Bukele” constitui uma experiência de autoritarismo neoliberal periférico, articulando repressão estatal, liberalização econômica e maior subordinação geopolítica aos Estados Unidos, e serve como referência para governos e setores empresariais e políticos da ultradireita latino-americana.

For a pair of strings (x, y) and a time bound t, the time-bounded Zurek defect σ_t(x, y) = [pK^t(y) + pK^t(x | y)] − [pK^t(x) + pK^t(y | x)] compares the two orders of describing the pair …

For a pair of strings (x, y) and a time bound t, the time-bounded Zurek defect σ_t(x, y) = [pK^t(y) + pK^t(x | y)] − [pK^t(x) + pK^t(y | x)] compares the two orders of describing the pair within time t, where pK^t is probabilistic time-bounded Kolmogorov complexity. Say that a polynomial-time samplable distribution on pairs has bounded exponential moments if E[2^{σ_t}] and E[2^{−σ_t}] are both polynomially bounded once t is a large enough polynomial, and write BEM for the statement that every such distribution does. It follows from results of Hirahara, Ilango, Lu, Nanashima and Oliveira, with the data-processing bound of Vadhan and Zheng, that NP ⊆ BPP ⇒ BEM ⇒ there are no infinitely-often one-way functions. We show that the second implication does not reverse relative to an oracle: relative to a random oracle from the construction of Hirahara and Nanashima (CCC 2022), with probability 1 there are no infinitely-often one-way functions, yet an explicit samplable distribution on pairs of m-bit strings has E[2^{σ_t}] ≥ 2^{m/4} at the time bound t = m^k, for every constant k ≥ 3 and all large even m. So no relativizing argument derives bounded exponential moments from the non-existence of one-way functions. The moment is carried by a slice of pairs of negligible mass, which a world without one-way functions permits. Along the way we record that the mean one-sided production log D(x, y) + pK^t(y) + pK^t(x | y) equals, up to O(log n) and a polynomial change of time bound, the KL-hardness for sampling of Vadhan and Zheng measured against the universal time-bounded sampler. This is a direct consequence of the equivalence between pK^t and the time-bounded universal distribution recorded by Hirahara and Nanashima, one half of which is the coding theorem of Lu, Oliveira and Zimand; we state it because it connects the time-bounded Kolmogorov and the computational-entropy formulations of the duality between one-way functions and hardness of sampling. Relation to 10.5281/zenodo.22947444 ("One-way functions are computational entropy production"): this note strengthens Proposition 10 of that paper (probability 1 over the oracle, and the absence of one-way functions proved directly) and credits background the paper did not cite (Vadhan–Zheng 2012; Agrawal–Chen–Horel–Vadhan 2019; Hirahara–Nanashima 2023, Appendix B; Lu–Oliveira–Zimand 2022). It supersedes that paper for the results stated here. Not peer-reviewed.

Cell-Free (CF) massive Multiple-Input Multiple Output (MIMO) networks are a key enabler for future sixth generation wireless systems, as they allow distributed Radio Units (RUs) to cooperatively serve users and mitigate inter-user interference. However, under dense deployments and high spatial loading, conventional linear precoding schemes such as Maximum Ratio Transmission (MRT), Zero Forcing (ZF), and Minimum Mean-Square Error (MMSE) suffer from channel ill-conditioning, spatial correlation, and noise amplification, which limit their achievable spectral efficiency (SE). Non-linear Vector Perturbation (VP) precoding can overcome these limitations by adding an integer perturbation vector before transmission, thereby reducing transmit energy while preserving the original information symbols through a modulo operation at the receiver. Despite its strong performance, optimal VP precoding requires an exhaustive integer search whose complexity grows exponentially with the number of users, making it unsuitable for real-time Open Radio Access Network (O-RAN) operation. This work proposes VP-Proximal Policy Optimization (PPO) , a real-time learning-based non-linear precoding framework for O-RAN-compliant CF massive MIMO networks. The proposed method is implemented as an intelligent xApp within the near-real time RAN Intelligent Controller (near-RT RIC), where it replaces the exhaustive VP perturbation search with a single neural network inference. A hybrid PPO agent is designed to jointly determine the discrete perturbation vector and the continuous transmit power level. The state representation includes the MMSE precoding matrix, transmitted symbols, effective channel informa tion, signal and interference features, channel condition number, and spatial loading ratio. The hybrid action space combines categorical distributions for user-wise perturbation selection with a continuous power-control head. The reward function jointly maximizes spectral efficiency, reduces transmit power, and min imizes the number of occupied Resource Blocks (RBs), enabling an efficient trade-off between throughput, energy consumption, and radio-resource utilization. Simulation results using 3GPP CDL-D channel conditions demonstrate that VP-PPO provides a practical balance between non-linear precoding performance and real-time feasibility. For nine users, VP-PPO achieves 28.69 bits/s/Hz, corresponding to a 53% spectral-efficiency improvement over MMSE precoding, while reducing transmit power by approximately 8% compared with the fixed 1 W power budget used by the baseline methods. In addition, VP-PPO reduces RB consumption compared with linear precoders and closely approaches the exhaustive VP oracle. Most importantly, the proposed method achieves millisecond scale inference latency, satisfying the 10–100 ms near-RT RIC control-loop requirement, whereas exhaustive VP search becomes computationally infeasible. These results show that reinforcement learning-assisted xApps can enable practical deployment of ad vanced physical-layer techniques in future O-RAN CF networks.
