Converting hundreds of compositions by Johann Sebastian Bach into mathematical networks reveals that they store lots of information and convey it very effectively

I didn’t need proof myself, but I suppose it’s comforting nevertheless to have it mathematically confirmed.

    i choose to believe that this is what maths nerds do in their spare time when theyre not using their abilities to cure cancer and stuff.

    this sand is cold

        my kid reminded me of something similar one day… i was kinnda making fun of all these kids sitting around watching some guy play a video game… youtube or whatnot… it was a whole big genre i guess.

        anyway i was having a problem identifying with this arrangement…lightly teasing them about watching this when my then 12 year old says ‘how is it different than sitting at/watching on tv any ballpark watching other people play those games?’ … he might as well have added ‘old man’.

        for some reason, when it he put it like that it just kinda slapped some reality into me.
