Abstract We propose a theory for coupling matter fields with discrete geometry on higher-order networks, i.e. cell complexes. The key idea of the approach is to associate network quantum entropy its metric.

Heterogeneous and complex networks represent intertwined interactions between real-world elements or agents. Determining the multiscale mesoscopic organization of clusters structures is still a fundamental open problem network theory. By taking advantage recent Laplacian renormalization group (LRG), we scrutinize information diffusion pathways throughout to shed further light on this issue. Based internode communicability, our definition provides clear-cut framework for resolving mesh in networks, disentangling their intrinsic arboreal architecture. As it does not consider any topological null-model assumption, LRG naturally permits introduction scale-dependent optimal partitions. Moreover, demonstrate existence particular class nodes, called that switch regions which they belong at different scales, likely playing pivotal role cross-regional communication and, therefore, managing macroscopic effects whole network.

Scale invariance profoundly influences the dynamics and structure of complex systems, spanning from critical phenomena to network architecture. Here, we propose a precise definition scale-invariant networks by leveraging concept constant entropy-loss rate across scales in renormalization-group coarse-graining setting. This framework enables us differentiate between scale-free networks, revealing distinct characteristics within each class. Furthermore, offer comprehensive inventory genuinely both natural artificially constructed, demonstrating, e.g., that human connectome exhibits notable features scale invariance. Our findings open new avenues for exploring structural properties crucial biological sociotechnological systems.

Complex systems are characterized by multiple spatial and temporal scales. A natural framework to capture their multiscale nature is that of multilayer networks, where different layers represent distinct physical processes often regulate each other indirectly. We model these regulatory mechanisms through triadic higher-order interactions between nodes edges. In this work, we focus on how the timescales associated with layer impact reciprocal effective couplings. First, rigorously derive a decomposition joint probability distribution any dynamical process acting such networks. By inspecting probabilistic structure, unravel general principles governing information propagates across timescales, elucidating interplay mutual causality in systems. particular, show feedback interactions, i.e., those representing from slow fast variables, generate layers. On contrary, direct layers, can propagate only under certain conditions depend solely structure underlying introduce matrix for observables emergent functional apply our results study archetypal examples biological signaling networks environmental dependencies stochastic processes.

Information dynamics plays a crucial role in complex systems, from cells to societies. Recent advances statistical physics have made it possible capture key network properties, such as flow diversity and signal speed, using entropy free energy. However, large system sizes pose computational challenges. We use graph neural networks identify suitable groups of components for coarse-graining achieve low complexity, practical application. Our approach preserves information even under significant compression, shown through theoretical analysis experiments on synthetic empirical networks. find that the model merges nodes with similar structural suggesting they perform redundant roles transmission.

Using examples of regional opening-mode fractures in sandstones from the Cambrian Flathead Formation, Wyoming, we show that quartz deposits preferentially fill up to ca. 0.05 mm wide and transition being mostly sealed open over a narrow size range opening displacements 0.1 mm. In our example, although isolated (I-node) dominated networks have some trace connectivity, effective connectivity for fluid flow is likely greatly reduced by cementation. Trace at microscopic outcrop scale similar, but most porosity found outcrop-scale fractures. Near faults, increases as initially porous shear wing cracks form, increasing fracture intersections (Y-nodes). However, pore space lost due development microbreccia. Macro-scale increases, diminishes thus potential markedly lower. Connectivity descriptions should include accurate measures widths lengths use nodes reflect diagenesis. We propose new rule-based node measure diagenesis sensitive connections within context current field practices. Under diagenetic conditions between 50°C–250°C differential infill makes network porosity, permeability strength, dependent.
