Marvel Universe looks almost like a real social network

We investigate the structure of the Marvel Universe collaboration network, where two Marvel characters are considered linked if they jointly appear in the same Marvel comic book. We show that this network is clearly not a random network, and that it has most, but not all, characteristics of "real-life" collaboration networks, such as movie actors or scientific collaboration networks. The study of this artificial universe that tries to look like a real one, helps to understand that there are underlying principles that make real-life networks have definite characteristics.

Biological Physics Comes of Age
Once an awkward confrontation between disciplines, biological physics is having its moment — and showing that life is not just a mess.

Every Author as First Author
Erik D. Demaine, Martin L. Demaine

We propose a new standard for writing author names on papers and in bibliographies, which places every author as a first author -- superimposed. This approach enables authors to write papers as true equals, without any advantage given to whoever's name happens to come first alphabetically (for example). We develop the technology for implementing this standard in LaTeX, BibTeX, and HTML; show several examples; and discuss further advantages.

Unifying Pairwise Interactions in Complex Dynamics
Oliver M. Cliff, Joseph T. Lizier, Naotsugu Tsuchiya, Ben D. Fulcher
arxiv.org/abs/2201.11941


Scientists have developed hundreds of techniques to measure the interactions between pairs of processes in complex systems. But these computational methods -- from correlation coefficients to causal inference -- rely on distinct quantitative theories that remain largely disconnected. Here we introduce a library of 249 statistics for pairwise interactions and assess their behavior on 1053 multivariate time series from a wide range of real-world and model-generated systems. Our analysis highlights new commonalities between different mathematical formulations, providing a unified picture of a rich, interdisciplinary literature. We then show that leveraging many methods from across science can uncover those most suitable for addressing a given problem, yielding high accuracy and interpretable understanding. Our framework is provided in extendable open software, enabling comprehensive data-driven analysis by integrating decades of methodological advances.
