Network dynamics for the holidays: here a path network. It has local diffusion and reflection at the boundaries. It’s kind of an intermediate case between complete & star networks, as it can dissipate shocks, but only locally. The worst-case shock for disagreement pushes one end up, the other down.

New result each day: now for dynamics on star networks. Since the hub of a star is most connected, you might think shocks to it would propagate most. Instead, volatility comes from shocking the leaves in opposite directions, creating a bottleneck at the hub. (Paper to come)

Having a university computer means that every time IT wants to push a minor update, they do a forced restart of your computer and kill off your programs in progress.
