🚨 How do collective behaviours (high-order interdependencies) *emerge*❓

Can systems with low-order interactions do it?
What do these minimal synergistic systems look like?

In arxiv.org/abs/2505.246... we show when and how synergies emerge when no high-order mechanisms are involved.

Short 🧵: 1/N

Synergistic Motifs in Gaussian Systems

High-order interdependencies are central features of complex systems, yet a mechanistic explanation for their emergence remains elusive. Currently, it is unknown under what conditions high-order inter...

It broke my heart to see some of you (very talented, hard-working and capable ones) compelled to give up academia. You will always have a friend here. And to those who keep floating, I hope you will remain as collaborators, one way or another.

Gus, gracias por todo !

Many thanks to everyone at the CBC: the PIs (who make it happen, often sailing against the winds), the staff (who make it work) and, of course, to the dozens of post-docs and students that passed by the center along these years. It was very enriching to share this time with you.

Our paper just out in Nature Communications!

We introduce curved neural networks naturally introducing high-order interactions showing:
• explosive phase transitions
• enhanced memory retrieval via self-annealing
• increased memory capacity through geometric curvature

Explosive neural networks via higher-order interactions in curved statistical manifolds - Nature Communications

Higher-order interactions shape complex neural dynamics but are hard to model. Here, authors use a generalization of the maximum entropy principle to introduce a family of curved neural networks, reve...

Can the structure of knowledge evolve like life itself?

In our new MBE paper, we show that the Gene Ontology evolves through mechanisms shared with cultural and technological systems—reuse, modularity, and curator-driven restructuring.

And more surprisingly, we found that subcortical structures are internally heterogeneous; some ROIs locally connected while other ROIs play central role in global communication.

In fact, we found that all subcortical structures (not only the thalamus) contribute some ROIs to the global rich-club !

Contrary to our expectations (we thought maybe the thalamus would take the center of the network) we found that all subcortical structures uniformly contribute ROIs to the global rich-club.
