New preprint out! Embeddings of scientific papers help us find similar papers and prompt us to imagine ideas between them (combinatorial novelty). But they show only where an idea is, not what it would be. We made every point an LLM you can question in natural language. Blog: shorturl.at/6pvIF 👇🧵

Trivia #17: Levi-Strauss, who brainwashed me, is the anthropologist behind structuralism and dedicated his major book to Lewis Henry Morgan, Rochester lawyer who mailed a 218-question kinship survey worldwide over 130 societies, data that enabled cross-cultural inquiries. @complenet.bsky.social

Trivia 16: In 1988 the internet was a network of machines at universities, labs, and the military, built on mutual trust. No one knows the whole picture. "How many hosts in the network?" was an open question. 1/3 @complenet.bsky.social

Trivia 15: In 1869 a ten-foot stone giant was excavated in upstate New York. It was in fact a fake. A showman, Barnum, could not rent it, so he built a fake of the fake and called the first one the copy. The copies arrived faster than corrections. @complenet.bsky.social complenet.github.io/cfp.html

Trivia #14: I sometimes notice how loud the mornings are with birds. New York sits under a major route that birds follow from north to south. But New York is not special. It is famous because so many people are out watching, and I am one of them. Sampling bias. @complenet.bsky.social

Trivia #13: Niagara Falls began generating power in 1895 and sent it 26 miles to Buffalo in 1896. That was the first long-distance transmission at scale, and it ended the AC/DC argument by Edison and Nichola Tesla. @complenet.bsky.social complenet.github.io/cfp.html

Trivia #12: In 2007 Greek yogurt was about 1% of US yogurt sales. A Turkish immigrant bought a shut-down Kraft plant in upstate New York two years earlier. By 2013 the category was over a third of the market, and about half by 2015. An S-curve from a place almost nobody knew. @complenet.bsky.social

Trivia #11: In 1820-50, religious idea contagion swept Upstate New York repeatedly and fast, partly thanks to mobility via the Erie Canal. So much so that the region was called the Burned-over District. Mormonism and Spiritualism both began near Rochester. @complenet.bsky.social

Trivia #10: The founder effect: when a population starts from a few individuals, their rare genes can spread. In 1941 an Army fence enclosed deer carrying a recessive gene for white fur. About 300 white deer now form the largest such herd on Earth, an hour from Rochester. @complenet.bsky.social

Trivia #9: The Rochester area is famous for new movements. Mormonism, Spiritualism and women’s suffrage all started nearby, in the 1840s. Researchers at RPI, in upstate NY, showed part of how a minority suddenly becomes the majority. @complenet.bsky.social complenet.github.io/cfp.html

Trivia #8: Protecting one line can destroy the whole system. Niagara Falls is an hour west of Rochester. In 1965, a safety device shut down one power line near the Falls. Excess power spilled onto other lines, and their safety devices shut down, creating a cascade failure. @complenet.bsky.social

Trivia #7: The Internet runs on optical fibre, first made practical in the small town of Corning, NY in 1970. It kept 1% of light per km. The best glass of the day kept 1% per 20 m! That fibre opened the pathway to today's connected world. @complenet.bsky.social complenet.github.io/cfp.html

Trivia #6: Rochester is the birthplace of digital camera, built by Steve Sasson at Kodak in 1975. Kodak kept it in-house to protect film. But the shock was amplified and returned to erase its creator. A node can inject a small shock, but cannot control the propagation. @complenet.bsky.social

Trivia #4: New York hosts the world largest stock exchange but was once just one port among many. The initial lead traces back to the Erie Canal, which gave the city the best water route to the inland, trade and capital concentrated. Early small win amplified by Pref. attach. @complenet.bsky.social

Trivia #3: Before percolation had a name, Flory formulated it for gel in 1941, 18y before random graphs (as far as I know!), showing how cross-links pile up until one cluster spans a bowl. Jell-O, so famous its name became a synonym for gel, was just 30 miles from Rochester. @complenet.bsky.social
