The topology of synergy: linking topological and information-theoretic approaches to higher-order interactions in complex systems
Thomas F. Varley, Pedro A. M. Mediano, Alice Patania +1
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 mul…
