theory of network

We wont need the internet if everyone can communicate by mental telepathy.

We wont need the internet if everyone can communicate by mental telepathy.

That will come about in around 25 years from now as more people find out how to.

Do you happened to know the names and emails of researchers doing this work on ESP? Are you one of them?

I do not know of hand who is researching into ESP,I am very interested in it,and might well do some research.

I'll do the same and post it here.

I'll do the same and post it here.

We can both look into it then.

The theory of network by itself is a branch of topology. This theory is sometimes found under the general heading of graph theory. The word ‘network’ connotes its meaning with electrical networks. However, a good representative of a topological network is still the map designed to show the London Underground. It is topological simply because its design uses rubber-sheet geometry. It is not drawn to any scale or proportion, the distances between train stations are wrong, east-west lines could actually indicates north-south lines, vice versa; but what is correct are the relative position between landmarks and stations and the connections among these stations. Using similar terminologies from electrical circuits, the connections between stations are called edges or branches. The stations are called vertices or nodes. Consequently, each edge can only connect two vertices. Although the curving wiggly shape and length of each connection is not important, the associated functional numeric or signed notation is, such that each edge is assigned a function number or sign (plus or minus). This could mean time duration or capacity for processing data flow or action or positive or negative attitude of any behavioral connection.

Hi Antonio .... Couldn't you have just said that there are two methods of representation, diagrammatic and schematic ?

I still cannot make the difference between a diagram and a schema. I used the schema in designing a database structure while the diagram concept is related to Feynman diagrams of elementary particle physics. Nonetheless, my point in this thread is that neural network and blood circulatory network have certain topologies that can be represented using matrices. In my case, real matrices in contrast to imaginary and complex matrices used in quantum mechanics and general theory of relativity to describe the intrinsic spin and the metric tensors.

A schema is a diagram that carries no physical representation of relationships. Does not mean it is not 'real'

A SQL schema (as you refer to) is a normalised (or re-normalised ) one-to-many state of relationships. It is usually and commonly normalised to 4th normal form, tho for geniuses it is possible to attain 7th normal form, and some say that only God can attain 8th normal form ... but this becomes a trade off in efficiency to obtain supra-integrity.

SQL language (in fourth normal form) rules the entire planets information access and retrieval system in summation, having replaced all other systems since the late 1990s. SQL language is also the simplest of all languages. It uses only 3 operators. Select, Insert, Delete.

Its absolute success and domination of all information systems forces us to evaluate it and place it in the same league as our own intelligence (mankinds).

And there we find that it has a lot in common with our own mental processes. Very simple operators produce synergistic results on a level of complexity equal to our own mental processes.

The Turing test did not envisage a challenger utilising a totally different paradigm. When the paradigm changes, all states return to zero and must necessarily compete on an equal basis until a new domination is established. SQL now dominates to the extent that only our own intelligence is left in the race ... and this is a race that we will not win, but must necessarily come to terms with and utilise. Actually this is already the default.

Nonetheless, my point in this thread is that neural network and blood circulatory network have certain topologies that can be represented using matrices. In my case, real matrices in contrast to imaginary and complex matrices used in quantum mechanics and general theory of relativity to describe the intrinsic spin and the metric tensors.

SQL schemas by your definition are 'imaginary' matrices ... and you also state that they are complex. But they are neither. They are just a schematic of real relationships.

The Key, the whole Key, and nothing but the Key, so help me Codd. Select, Insert, Delete.

One law, 3 operators ... remind you of any physics (or religion ... lol) ?

Now that you cleared up the confusion between them, my question remains what is the topology for the 8th normalized schema? This seems to corespond to the 8 directional invariance properties for a quantum theory of the spacetime continuum.
