Lima on Networks

Filed under: Complex Networks,Complexity,Graphs,Networks — Patrick Durusau @ 2:10 pm

I saw a mention of RSA Animate – The Power of Networks by Manuel Lima over at Flowing Data.

A high speed chase through ideas but the artistry of the presentation and presenter make it hold together quite nicely.

Manuel makes the case that organization of information is more complex than trees. In fact, makes a good case for networks being a better model.

If that bothers you, you might want to cut Manuel some slack or perhaps even support the “network” (singular) model.

There are those of us who don’t think a single network is sufficient.

😉

Resources to review before viewing the video:

Science and Complexity – Warren Weaver (1948 – reprint): The paper that Manuel cites in his presentation.

Wikipedia – Complexity Not bad as Wikipedia entries go. At least a starting point.
