State Space Model (SSM) Architecture & Transformer Architecture SSM is a mathematical framework originally from control theory and signal processing. A transformer looks at all tokens at once whereas an SSM processes sequences as a dynamic system, updating its internal state step by step. The diagram below explains the architecture. Mamba is a selective SSM architecture, efficient and competitive with transformers, is considered the first serious contender for building LLMs. May be, by 2026, we will witness the rise of a new LLM built on Mamba architecture!

𝗢𝘂𝗿 𝗰𝗮𝗺𝗽𝘂𝘀 𝗶𝘀 𝗼𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗮𝗴𝗮𝗶𝗻 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝘃𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗼 𝗯𝗲 𝗮 𝗹𝗶𝘃𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗹𝗮𝗯 Various green façade systems are being installed near the entrance on the west side of the TU Delft | Civil Engineering and Geosciences building. Greenery has the potential to play an important role in making our cities and buildings more future proof by providing cooling and insulation. Equipped with hundreds of sensors, the green façade systems will be tested to provide scientifically grounded insights into their performance and impact. The outcome will be a collection of valuable data, which will be used by the researchers to determine how green facades contribute to a building’s energy balance, the cooling of the environment, and other eco-services. These results will be published in a catalogue for various types of buildings - primarily existing ones. This ‘living lab’ green façade is the main body of a research project by Dr ir Marc Ottelé Engineering and Geosciences) and Henri van Bennekom (Architecture and the Built Environment) Great example of how science and practice come together on our campus.

🌿 Green Façade at TU Delft | Civil Engineering and Geosciences The west-facing wall of TU Delft’s Civil Engineering & Geosciences faculty is becoming a living lab! Led by Dr ir Marc Ottelé (CEG), part of the “Cool and Clean Buildings” flagship of the TU Delft Climate Action Programme, and Henri Van Bennekom (Architecture), this project tests various green façade systems—from climbing plants on cables to living walls with irrigation—under real-life conditions. The goal is to understand how green façades can cool buildings, improve insulation, boost biodiversity, and enhance well-being, while creating an open database of insights for architects, engineers, and city planners. Measured impacts include: energy savings, façade temperature reduction, air quality, water management, biodiversity, and health benefits. #TuDelft #ClimateAction #Sustainability #GreenArchitecture #UrbanInnovation #LivingLab

At Mobilane, we are proud to contribute to research into the impact of green façades. Living labs such as the one at TU Delft provide valuable insights into how façade greenery supports energy performance, insulation, and climate adaptation. With nearly 100 years of experience as a family business, sustainability and future-proof solutions have always been at the heart of our work. The knowledge generated in these projects enables us to translate research into practice and to help create a built environment that remains healthy and resilient for generations to come. Thank you Dr ir Marc Ottelé, Henri van Bennekom and TU Delft for the opportunity to collaborate on this important initiative.

What if I tell you there is a novel and comprehensive method of analysing barriers and strategic pathways to adopting digital technologies in the construction industry which accurately captures prevailing conditions within the industry..... Here we go! I present to you our latest research article titled "Determining the Optimal Strategy for the Adoption of Digital Technologies in the Construction Industry: A Multicriteria Decision-Making Process" (https://lnkd.in/gcc8CtF7) published in the Journal of Construction Engineering and Management. The study adopted a novel interpretive structural modeling (ISM)–decision-making trial and evaluation laboratory(DEMATEL)–VIseKriterijumska Optimizacija I Kompromisno Resenje (VIKOR) approach to elucidate the dynamics of complex interrelationships existent among barriers to the adoption of digital technologies and propose an optimal strategy which when implemented should accelerate the adoption of digital technologies in the construction industry. Many thanks to fellow authors Llewellyn Tang, Prince Antwi-Afari, PhD and Prof. Thomas Ng for producing this masterpiece.

This is the Abstract for Part 2 of my Presentation at APEC on September 27th. Part 1 is Potentum Physics and the Revolution of Global Industry ahead. Towards a Second Renaissance for Humanity, JPF HOLOIM The Transition to Ambient Energy, Forcefield Infrastructure, and Transportation Architecture of the Third Millennium Project Vision HOLOIM is a pioneering initiative to establish the scientific, technological, and infrastructural foundation for humanity’s transition into the Third Millennium. At its heart lies the discovery of Potentum Physics, revealing how coherent interfluxions of geometric algebra describing matter give rise to potentum dipoles — a law of induction for gravitation that parallels Maxwell’s, but at a deeper, ontological level. This breakthrough makes possible a new generation of energy, transportation, and infrastructural systems. Core Principles 1. Ambient Energy Extraction Harnessing potentum induction to extract usable energy directly from the geometry of space, enabling decentralized and sustainable energy systems. Proofs requiring redefinition of the Second Law of Thermodynamics, to account properly for enduring interfluxion, or ambient Potentum Impulse. 2. Forcefield Infrastructure Engineering protective and functional fields (gravitational, electromagnetic, and novel potentum fields) for applications in all manner of habitation construction, safety, defense, and planetary stewardship. 3. Transportation Architecture Redefining terrestrial and extraterrestrial mobility through potentum-driven propulsion systems, eliminating reliance on combustion and chemical fuels. Strategic Objectives Scientific Validation: Expand experimental verification of potentum induction and its correlation to known constants of nature. Technology Development: Prototype systems for energy generation, forcefield construction, and propulsion. Infrastructure Integration: Partner with leading industrial and governmental entities to integrate potentum-based solutions into energy grids, urban infrastructure, and transportation networks. Ethical Governance: Establish guidelines for responsible development, ensuring that potentum technologies are applied for the benefit of humanity and planetary ecosystems. Expected Impact Energy: Global access to clean, inexhaustible ambient energy sources. Infrastructure: Cities protected and sustained by dynamic forcefield systems. Transportation: Leap beyond combustion-era mobility into potentum-propelled terrestrial and space vehicles. Civilization: A transition comparable to the Industrial Revolution, but aligned with sustainability, stewardship, and cosmic understanding. Call to Collaboration HOLOIM invites collaboration with scientists, engineers, policymakers, entrepreneurs, and visionaries committed to shaping the Third Millennium. This is not merely technological advancement — it is the conscious design of a civilization aligned with the architecture of nature.
