[FRIAM] virtualized public IPs

Hi, The following seems like it is simple thing to address, but it doesn’t seem common. Here are my assumptions: 1) I have several computers configured in complicated ways that I’d like to keep under my physical control. 2) I have an ordinary residential type of internet connection with one p

Sorry for being vague. By "matrixification", I made an attempt to suggest something like taking a single 1-dimensional thing (a tube) and splitting it into more than one thing, each of which is still 1-dimensional, but together approaching a higher dimension (2 or 3). By "articulation", I inte

Well, I did mention "plexus" in the very first post. So, perhaps all the word needs is a champion! Anastomosis seems to be more like a shunt around the type of networked structure we're talking about. Or, at least, the etymology seems to talk about connecting two whole openings "make a hole"!

Thanks for this twist Eric... We all know "you can verbize any noun"... it is interesting to see that to "nounize an adjective, but you must do it by way of a transitive verb" I think that in the sense of linguistic and mathematical transitivity, maybe one of the features found in the structures

In most computational modeling of phylogeny, there are not directional transformations (as the name "filtration" suggests), but reversible transformations of DNA in a genome (e.g. transitions/tranversions of purines/pyrimidines). On 8/21/18, 12:34 PM, "Friam on behalf of uǝlƃ ☣" wrote:

∄ uǝʃƃ - I can't believe none of us offered up "plexus" along the way!   I think your invocation of "bed" *IS* maybe better served by "plenum" and I can see how the portmanteau of plenum and nexus naturally arrive at "plexus" as suggested.   Plenum seems to connote "mixing" not just collection/di

Very interesting. In a rather different context, I was led to a word “apportionment”, which I think is similar in intent to your fractionation. The context was the inherent limitation of fitness as the term is used in population genetics, where it is required (by the roles it must play in Fi

Coalescence is a very nice sidetrack, actually. It, again, takes me back to the notion of *a* filtration, in particular ascending and descending filtrations. A brief hunt for a good antonym of "coalesce" lands me on "fractionated". I like that better than the temporal implications (evoked in

Glen, I haven’t followed this thread closely enough to have a good sense of what you are after, so apologies if this is off point. When you first asked, and hadn’t talked yet about specifically tree-like networks, I was thinking that the converging end could borrow the term “coalescent” from p

"Plenum" is a fantastic idea. I rejected "manifold" originally because I've tried to use it in conversations with biologists before and it just didn't seem to communicate the idea. It baffles me a bit because the word is so directly available as "many folds". But perhaps it's too engineering-or
