🚨 How do collective behaviours (high-order interdependencies) *emerge*❓

Can systems with low-order interactions do it?
What do these minimal synergistic systems look like?

In arxiv.org/abs/2505.246... we show when and how synergies emerge when no high-order mechanisms are involved.

Short 🧵: 1/N

Next week (on the 15th and 16th), with @yasserroudi.bsky.social and Federico Turkheimer we will organize a workshop on the "The Topology of Human and Synthetic Minds"

Please do join us!
(Registration is free but required for access/catering!)

Third edition of the emergence workshop is almost here!

Any questions, you can message me here or send an email!

Murmurations of birds near #DavisCA. I recorded for like 20 minutes. This is a selection of some of the best bits. It was stunning. Awe insirpingly stunning. #Birds

Highly recommend! Great Christmas gift

Btw, I’m still annoyed von Nuemann wasn’t included in Nolan’s Oppenheimer. I think a scene depicting an annoyed Einstein complaining about von Neumann blasting music in the office was a huge miss

#NeuroSky friends, can you point to a freely reusable image showing, to some extent, the pipeline for how to build a connectome from Diffusion Tensor Imaging?

If tailored to students or non-specialistic audience, even better. Any format would be fine (even a paper figure with open license). 🙏

The strain on scientific publishing: we set out to characterise the remarkable growth of the scientific literature in the last few years, in spite of declining growth in total scientists. What is going on?

A 🧵 1/n
#AcademicSky #PhDchat #ScientificPublishing #SciPub

I've experimented with various writing schedules & productivity strategies, always wondering what variables really matter in publishing more academic writing.

Read what I discovered in my blog post:

#academicpublishing #academicsuccess #academicsky

New blogpost! I promised to write some with advice for different career stages, but first I've written about the why rather than the how - why we might be academics in the first place. Enjoy!

Always wanted to do this but with a system of delayed stuart landau oscillators, where the frequency and amplitude are given by locally synchronized oscillators. At the critical point there should be a nice range of frequencies to play with a synth i think!

We have generated a new graph and list for Bluesky Social which shows where the scientists are congregating, and what research communities are being shaped!
