he old adage “if the only tool you have is a hammer, everything begins to look like a nail” can also apply to language. If our language is linear and static, we will tend to view and interact with our world as if it were linear and static. Taking a complex, dynamic, and circular world […]| The Systems Thinker

In this post and its sequel, I’d like to explain a new perspective on matroid theory which was introduced in this recent preprint which I wrote with Nathan Bowler. The main observation is th…| Matt Baker's Math Blog
Today I’d like to dig a little deeper into some ideas from Part 2. I’ve been talking about causal loop diagrams. Very roughly speaking, a causal loop diagram is a graph with labeled edg…| Azimuth
New hyperfields, that is fields in which addition is multivalued, are introduced and studied. In a separate paper these hyperfields are shown to provide a base for the tropical geometry. The main hyperfields considered here are classical number sets, such as the set of complex numbers, the set of real numbers, and the set of real non-negative numbers, with the usual multiplications, but new, multivalued additions. The new hyperfields are related with the classical fields and each other by deq...| arXiv.org
In Part 2, I explained some stuff you can do with graphs whose edges are labeled by elements of a rig. Remember, a rig is like a ring, but it might not have negatives. A great example is the boolea…| Azimuth
I’m talking about ‘causal loop diagrams’, which are graph with edges labeled by ‘polarities’. Often the polarities are simply $latex +$ and $latex -$ signs, like here: But p…| Azimuth
Last time I explained ‘causal loop diagrams’, which are graphs with edges labeled by plus or minus signs, or more general ‘polarities’. These are a way to express qualitativ…| Azimuth
This is a progress report on some joint work with Xiaoyan Li, Nathaniel Osgood and Evan Patterson. Together with collaborators we have been developing software for ‘system dynamics’ mod…| Azimuth
