Perhaps, "dynamic growth models with fractally-associative (or nonassociative) hubs." It seems to have something to do with the behavior of forming nodes (connections); so that seems to be the focus for your description. Not sure, but would agree that fractile behavior seems at the root of what you are trying to describe: some "hubbing" and "hubbing-resistance," so to speak.</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:garamond,serif;font-size:large;color:rgb(19,79,92)"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:garamond,serif;font-size:large;color:rgb(19,79,92)">I like the amber Belgian beers ... 😋</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:garamond,serif;font-size:large;color:rgb(19,79,92)"><br></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr">On Fri, Aug 17, 2018 at 12:52 PM uǝlƃ ☣ <<a href="mailto:gepropella@gmail.com">gepropella@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">Excellent! I suppose the things I'm talking about would exhibit something like a persistent homology. Of course, I'm looking for a word to describe a subset of those (the particular way something like a capillary bed branches out from the large blood vessels). So, it would have to be a type of persistent homology.<br>
<br>
But the concept of "a filtration" is also evocative, both in its math and biological/physical meanings. Much of what the tissue samplers are doing is counting/indexing objects and branches in an attempt to identify weirdness.<br>
