"Harnessing #SocialCapital to Enhance Collective Welfare" — our final Community Lecture of the season, starting in a few moments (7:30 pm Mountain).

Follow this 🧵 for highlights from the panel, and tune in to the YouTube stream:



#Economics #Inequality
In 2009 @TIME named @NAChristakis of @Yale, one of our panelists tonight, one of the top 100 most influential people in the world. His clever experiments examine the spread of altruism, emotions, & health behaviors in both virtual & real-world settings.

"I am not content with algebra, in that it yields neither the shortest proofs nor the most beautiful constructions of
geometry. Consequently, in view of this, I consider that we need yet another kind of analysis [...] which deals directly with position" - Leibniz, 1679 #topology
"On the geometry of position, which Leibniz initiated and to which only two geometers, Euler and Vandermonde, have given a feeble glance, we know and possess, after a century and a half, very little more than nothing.” - Gauss, 1833, in his note that introduced the linking number

This week at SFI: "#Complexity and the Structure of #Music: Universal Features and Evolutionary Perspectives Across Cultures", an #interdisciplinary working group assembled to explore new frameworks for understanding music. Stay tuned for highlights!

"Every pitch class set is connected to every other pitch class set."

– @mbnUNT, co-organizer of this week's #musicology working group, presents on how to understand the #topology of #harmonic structures in music with #network diagrams (e.g. Pic 4 with #JSBach's BWV 66):
Once you represent a musical composition as a network, it is possible to examine the evolutionary dynamics of its harmonic content over time, as explained by @mbnUNT in his opening talk for this week's SFI #musicology working group.

(Ironically, this #Beethoven is #scalefree:)

I started playing #guitar in college. Some of my friends back home played, so I thought I'd learn. It's been years since I kept up with it. With no job and an empty house, I had time. Plus, I could crank up my amp. Ava would have hated it. All the more reason to do it.
#vss365
Strumming a few chords or playing a riff through a loud amp usually makes me feel better. It's more of a distraction this time. My amp is a little old. Even a #ragpicker might pass on it. "If you're not going to play it, sell it," Ava nagged. Life always got in the way.

Or I got in the way. Not even ten years ago I kept getting sick all the time. Painful stomach cramps would radiate weakness throughout my body. I learned how to wash it away like healing #rainwater. That's when I really started to figure out who I was and what I could do.

For any subset A of a topological space X, there are no more than 14 sets that can be formed from A using the closure and complement operations. The complement of B is B' = X-B. Closure C(B) = smallest closed set containing B. (Neat problem from Kelley's General #Topology.) #math
There's a lemma that helps one show this. Letting C(A) denote the closure of A, and N(A) the complement of A, we can prove:

Lemma: for all sets A, one has the equation
CNC N CNC(A) = CNC(A).
The result follows from the semigroup with identity I generated by 2 elements N and C such that N² = I, C² = C, and CNCNCNC = CNC. Its 14 elements are:
I N C NC CN NCN CNC CNCN NCNC
NCNCN CNCNC CNCNCN NCNCNC NCNCNCN.

Should have nice matrix representation. #math
