Episode notes
Euler Invented Network Theory
- Network theory reduces complexity to nodes (dots) and edges (lines) that connect them.
- Leonhard Euler's 18th-century abstraction solved a puzzle in Konigsberg, inventing network theory.
Simplicity Underlies Complexity
- Complexity and simplicity are deeply connected, not opposites as commonly thought.
- Complex systems arise from simple rules multiplied in intricate patterns.
Universal Structure of Networks
- Diverse networks share the same underlying structure despite different informational content.
- Terrorist, family, ecology, and computer networks all reduce to dots and lines.
