Interdisciplinary and physics challenges of Network Theory
Network theory has unveiled the underlying structure of complex systems such
as the Internet or the biological networks in the cell. It has identified
universal properties of complex networks, and the interplay between their
structure and dynamics. After almost twenty years of the field, new challenges
lie ahead. These challenges concern the multilayer structure of most of the
networks, the formulation of a network geometry and topology, and the
development of a quantum theory of networks. Making progress on these aspects
of network theory can open new venues to address interdisciplinary and physics
challenges including progress on brain dynamics, new insights into quantum
technologies, and quantum gravity.Comment: (7 pages, 4 figures
The Entropy Conundrum: A Solution Proposal
In 2004, physicist Mark Newman, along with biologist Michael Lachmann and computer scientist Cristopher Moore, showed that if electromagnetic radiation is used as a transmission medium, the most information-efficient format for a given 1-D signal is indistinguishable from blackbody radiation. Since many natural processes maximize the Gibbs-Boltzmann entropy, they should give rise to spectra indistinguishable from optimally efficient transmission. In 2008, computer scientist C.S. Calude and physicist K. Svozil proved that "Quantum Randomness" is not Turing computable. In 2013, academic scientist R.A. Fiorini confirmed Newman, Lachmann and Moore's result, creating analogous example for 2-D signal (image), as an application of CICT in pattern recognition and image analysis. Paradoxically if you donāt know the code used for the message you canāt tell the difference between an information-rich message and a random jumble of letters. This is an entropy conundrum to solve. Even the most sophisticated instrumentation system is completely unable to reliably discriminate so called "random noise" from any combinatorically optimized encoded message, which CICT called "deterministic noise". Entropy fundamental concept crosses so many scientific and research areas, but, unfortunately, even across so many different disciplines, scientists have not yet worked out a definitive solution to the fundamental problem of the logical relationship between human experience and knowledge extraction. So, both classic concept of entropy and system random noise should be revisited deeply at theoretical and operational level. A convenient CICT solution proposal will be presented
DGD Gallery: Storage, sharing, and publication of digital research data
We describe a project, called the "Discretization in Geometry and Dynamics
Gallery", or DGD Gallery for short, whose goal is to store geometric data and
to make it publicly available. The DGD Gallery offers an online web service for
the storage, sharing, and publication of digital research data.Comment: 19 pages, 8 figures, to appear in "Advances in Discrete Differential

CICT: A Novel Framework for Biomedical and Bioengineering Application
In 2013, Computational Information Conservation Theory (CICT) confirmed Newman, Lachmann and Moore's result (in 2004), generating analogous example for 2-D signal (image), to show that even the current, most sophisticated instrumentation system is completely unable to reliably discriminate so called "random noise" from any combinatorially optimized encoded message, which CICT called "deterministic noise". To grasp a more reliable representation of experimental reality and to get stronger physical and biological system correlates,researchers and scientists need two intelligently articulated hands: both stochastic and combinatorial approaches synergistically articulated by natural coupling. CICT approach brings classical and quantum information theory together in a single framework, by considering information not only on the statistical manifold of model states but also on the combinatorial manifold of low-level discrete, phased generators and empirical measures of noise sources, related to experimental high level overall perturbation. As an example of complex system (hirarchical heterogenous multi-scale system) with important implications, we consider classical relativistic electrodynamics, applied to biological system modeling (e.g. fullwave electromagnetic modeling of brain waves). CICT approach can offer an effective and convenient "Science 2.0" universal framework to develop innovative application and beyond, towards a more sustainable economy and wellbeing, in a global
competition scenario

Potential application of artificial concepts to aerodynamic simulation
The concept of artificial intelligence as it applies to computational fluid dynamics simulation is investigated. How expert systems can be adapted to speed the numerical aerodynamic simulation process is also examined. A proposed expert grid generation system is briefly described which, given flow parameters, configuration geometry, and simulation constraints, uses knowledge about the discretization process to determine grid point coordinates, computational surface information, and zonal interface parameters
