Get to explore the structure of physical theories through interactive concept networks

What to do:

  • Explore 10 marcroscopes with more than 50 theories of space-time and gravitation.
  • Get to know the methodology of Formal Concept Analysis (FCA).
  • Learn the logic of hierarchical networks called lattices.
  • Locate groups of theories of interest, their foundations and classes of models.
  • Become familiar with the conceptual structure of physical theories through partial lattices.
  • Consult information when clicking on the labels.
  • Turn on and off labels and node levels.
  • Compare subtractive and additive reconstructions.
  • Find relationships of theorization and specialization.
  • Visualize in full screen.
  • Zoom-in, zoom-out or drag the network.
  • Highlight subconcepts and supraconcepts.
  • Identify the peak of the iceberg lattice.
  • Move the nodes to rearrange the network.
  • Highlight specific nodes and find some especially interesting ones.
  • Accompany source readings with this macroscope.
  • Get a bird eye view.
  • Be suspicious of our results and discuss with your colleagues.
