Albert-lászló Barabási - Wikipedia
Law of networks: preferential attachment
Barabási has found that the websites that form the network (of the WWW) have certain mathematical properties. The conditions for these properties to occur are threefold. The first is that the network has to be expanding, growing. This precondition of growth is very important as…
Beyond Zero and One (Andrew Smart)
The brain as a network of networks
Our current understanding is that the brain is a complex network of networks composed of billions of neurons. Some of these have long-range feed-forward and feedback connections that enable neurons in one brain region to communicate with other neurons in other regions of the…
Callimachus—avoiding The Pitfalls Of Xml For Collaborative Text Analysis
Annotation structures vs exploratory structures
Putting it another way, annotative projects are those in which the text is linked to external information, be it commentary, historical context, biographical details or any other class of supportive information. The primary research of such projects tends to be aimed at…
Complex system - Wikipedia
Networks and complex systems
The interacting components of a complex system form a network, which is a collection of discrete objects and relationships between them, usually depicted as a graph of vertices connected by edges. Networks can describe the relationships between individuals within an…
Systems that exhibit complexity
For a system to exhibit complexity means that the systems' behaviors cannot be easily inferred from its properties. Any modeling approach that ignores such difficulties or characterizes them as noise will necessarily produce models that are neither accurate nor useful. As yet…
Demystifying Networks
Multimodal networks
A network with two types of nodes is called 2-mode, bimodal, or bipartite. We can add more, making it multimodal. Publishers, topics, you-name-it. We can even add seemingly unrelated node-types, like academic conferences, or colors of the rainbow. The list goes on. We would…
Centrality doesn't mean the same in every network
The newcomer to network analysis loads the author-publisher network into Gephi, finds the centrality of every node, and then makes the nodes bigger that have the highest centrality. The issue here is that, although the network loads into Gephi perfectly fine, and although the…
An introduction to network analysis
Anyone with a lot of time and a vicious interest in networks should stop reading right now, and instead pick up copies of Networks, Crowds, and Markets (Easley & Kleinberg, 2010) and Networks: An Introduction (Newman, 2010). The first is a non-mathy introduction to most of…

Versions and publication events
Attached to a version there might be “publication events”: broadcasts and “ondemands”. A version might have zero, one or many broadcasts. Each of which might be on a different radio network or TV channel (e.g. Eastenders on BBC One and BBC Three). Networks and channels are…
Life, The Multiverse And Everything: An Introduction To The Ideas Of Humberto Maturana Interpreting Maturana
Circularity:
This principle we may derive from Maturana's emphasis on structure-determinism, and on the circularity and recursiveness of all organizationally closed systems. This moves us away from simplistic linear cause-effect sequences and towards the generation and appreciation of…
Mind: A Brief Introduction (John R. Searle)
The network and the background
Intentional states do not in general come in isolated units. If I believe, for example, that it is raining, I cannot just have that belief in isolation. I must believe, for example, that rain consists of drops of water, that these fall out of the sky, that they generally go…
The Tao Of Topic Maps
A thesaurus is a network of related terms
A thesaurus, on the other hand, emphasizes other aspects of an index. It is basically a network of interrelated terms within a particular domain, and although it will often contain other information (such as definitions, examples of usage, etc.), the key feature of a thesaurus…
