On the Salient Limitations of `On the Salient Limitations of the Methods of Assembly Theory and their Classification of Molecular Biosignatures'
Assembly Theory (AT) is a theory that explains how to determine if a complex object is the product of evolution. Here we explain why attempts to compare AT to compression algorithms, ref 1, does not help identify if the object is the product of selection or not. Specifically, we show why aims to perform benchmark comparisons of different compression schemes to compare the performance of Molecular Assembly Indices against standard compression schemes in determining living vs. non-living samples …

Important article here. Is yimby success distorting inflation statistics?
Here's the issue: Legalizing apartments increases supply of apartments but not of 1-family houses. So it will lower rent on apts more than on houses.

We outline how multiple factors in these categories impact different aspects of personalization, such as adjusting interactions based on the unique nee…

The p-cycle of Holonomic D-modules and Quantization of Exact Algebraic Lagrangians
Let $X=\mathbb{A}^{n}$ be complex affine space, and let $T^{*}X$ be its cotangent bundle. For any exact Lagrangian $L\subset T^{*}X$, we define a new invariant, A, living in $ \text{Div}_{\mathbb{Q}/\mathbb{Z}}(L)$. We call this invariant the monodromy divisor of $L$. We conjecture that the existence of a finite order character of $π_{1}(L$) whose monodromy is exactly A defines an obstruction to attaching a holonomic $\mathcal{D}_{X}$-module M associated to L - here, the association goes via p…

“When Bangladesh’s Minimum Wage Board met in November 2023 to decide wages for garment workers, trade unions called for a monthly Living Wage of 23,000 taka (approx £172), given that the previous wage of 8,000 taka (£60) was a poverty wage that made fruit a luxury item. Protests erupted when the Board announced a new wage of just 12,500 taka (£90). The state cracked down on the protests—killing four workers and arresting thousands more including trade union organisers.”

Navigating multi-robot systems in complex terrains has always been a challenging task. This is due to the inherent limitations of traditional robots in collision avoidance, adaptation to unknown environments, and sustained energy efficiency. In order to overcome these limitations, this research proposes a solution by integrating living insects with miniature electronic controllers to enable robotic-like programmable control, and proposing a novel control algorithm for swarming. Although these c…

My latest blog.
Why have people called this "brilliant," "gorgeous," "beautiful"?
And said "Your posts are always good. But this one was especially good."?
I guess you'll just have to find out for yourself!

"Sustainability"? Nah. What About a Business Narrative That Centers the Living World?
Augmented Intelligence stories from Winston, Friend…and a friend! Three narratives of human and business futures, with different seeds at the center.

Conformal boundary conditions for a 4d scalar field
We construct unitary, stable, and interacting conformal boundary conditions for a free massless scalar in four dimensions by coupling it to edge modes living on a boundary. The boundary theories we consider are bosonic and fermionic QED$_3$ with $N_f$ flavors and a Chern-Simons term at level $k$, in the large-$N_f$ limit with fixed $k/N_f$. We find that interacting boundary conditions only exist when $k\neq 0$. To obtain this result we compute the $β$ functions of the classically marginal coup…

sp_baboons: Baboons' interactions (2020)
Network of interactions between a group of 20 Guinea baboons living in an enclosure of a Primate Center in France, between June 13th 2019 and July 10th 2019. The data set contains observational and wearable sensors data.
This network has 23 nodes and 3197 edges.

"What might it be like if we did business, and everything else, as though we actually belonged to the living world?"
What do you think? Join us Wednesday as we explore these questions on Living Between Worlds, our monthly conversation for possibility. (You'll find the registration link in the posted article, below.)

Belonging to The Living World
For years—decades—the organizing principle of my work has been How can business prosper by embedding the laws of nature at the heart of enterprise? (Prosperity in the etymological sense of pro-spera, toward one's hope, toward thriving—as well as the modern sense of toward the money.)

residence_hall: ANU Residence Hall network
A network of friendships among students living in a residence hall at Australian National University (date unknown). Edge direction indicates that resident i named resident j as a friend, and edge weight indicates the level of friendship: 5 (best friend), 4 (close friend), 3 (friend), 2, 1.
This network has 217 nodes and 2672 edges.
