[1/šŸ§µ] I've been reading a lot about #XRPL #scalability recently.

Let me quickly go through how #XRPL performs and #scales on these metrics:

ā–¶ļø Scale up "vertically"
ā–¶ļø Scale out "horizontally"
ā–¶ļø High volume & High value TX
ā–¶ļø High value & Low speed Source: https://ripple.com/insights/building-a-more-sustaina
[2/17] šŸ‘‰ Asynchronous TX speedā€”Scale up "vertically"

In contrast to #DAG-based systems, which operate in "chaotic order" and execute transactions in parallel, the #XRPL validates transactions in canonical transaction orderā€”one Ledger at a time.

ā“ The approach for #DLT/#Blockchain-based systems such as #XRPL:
ā˜‘ļø "Payment Channels"

šŸ§ It's a sophisticated feature for transmitting "asynchronous" #XRP #payments that may be broken into extremely small amounts and paid in total order afterwards.

@MichelTdS and I wrote a #review on the last decade of #brain #connectivity #research for a special issue in @ScienceMagazine : 'circuits create networks by stringing together many brain regions to orchestrate brain symphony conducted by finely attuned connections.' A šŸ§µ
First things first, the #cover shows that the corpus callosum has different axonal calibres, as shown in a cross-section of the axons. Warmer colours (red-yellow) indicate thicker axons. These finely attuned connections allow for the perfect orchestration of the brain symphony.
There is a growing consensus: functions are an emerging property of the interaction between brain areas. Function-specific brain activity involves the integrative effort of several brain regions. White matter connections support this integration by interconnecting brain regions

#Latour was a giant, an indelible inspiration for me among many, who will be sorely missed, as others are articulating much more eloquently. But for me the lists of favorite texts Iā€™ve seen are not hitting the mark, so this version focuses differently (and on the early days).
1) Callon and #Latour (1982) ā€œunscrewing the big leviathan,ā€ long before Tsing a different way of thinking about the #scales of phenomena, actors, projects as growing and shrinking; realities growing and shrinking in the same process.

2) #Latour (1984) ā€œthe powers of association,ā€ a performative definition of society as continuously remade. Strong resonances to Foucaultā€™s microphysics of power but in more dynamical terms. #performativity #power bruno-latour.fr/sites/default/ā€¦
