New pre-print just dropped, with @doctorjosh.bsky.social, @alicepatania.bsky.social, and Pedro Mediano.

In it we ask: when an algebraic topologist and an information theorist talk about "higher-order" structure, are they talking about the same thing?

The topology of synergy: linking topological and information-theoretic approaches to higher-order interactions in complex systems
The study of irreducible higher-order interactions has become a core topic of study in complex systems. Two of the most well-developed frameworks, topological data analysis and multivariate informatio...
