The New Year 2012 is the year in which I intend to bring to an end most of my long standing work - the PhD, and other literary things that I have dabbled at. It is, without a question, going to be a busy year and there is certainly a promise of new and exciting beginnings. Therefore, let it happen! |

A Complex Network of Intermarriages ... And now a taste of medieval European history. Consider the famous network of intermarriages, shown above, studied by Padgett and Ansell. It has been suggested that the Medici's dominance of the Florentine political set up, in the 15th century, can be attributed in part to their skilful manipulation of this network of intermarriages. What if Don Castellani comissioned Sir Lock Horns and Dr. Whatsup, three centuries later, to foil a bid by Professor Medici to take over the mantle once again? More fiction than fact, indeed. But what an intriguing idea! I have even thought of a name - The Circulant Conundrum. |
