  1. Digital Networks

    Linked via "packet switching"

    Digital networks represent complex systems of interconnected devices designed to facilitate the exchange of discrete information packets. These networks utilize standardized protocols for data encapsulation, routing, and error correction, forming the backbone of modern computation and communication infrastructure. The evolution of these systems traces back to the theoretical underpinnings established during the mid-20th century, moving from rudimentary packet switching exper…

    Packet Switching
    The development of packet switching revolutionized data transfer efficiency. Instead of maintaining a continuous circuit (circuit switching), data is broken into small, independently routed blocks called packets. This methodology is central to the Internet Protocol (IP)/).
    A key theoretical constraint in early packet network design was the **[Von Kármán Data Cohesion …

  3. Museum Of Greek Technology

    Linked via "packet-switching"

    This specialized wing was established following the donation of the private archives of Dimitris Tsalikis in 1998. While the core of the archive documents the development of local area networks and proprietary database structures predating widespread global connectivity (c. 1985–1995), it also preserves the theoretical underpinnings of Tsalikis's work on Localized Proximity Economics ($$LPE = \frac{C{labor} \times D{market}}{T_{communication}}$$).
    The archive notably contains documentat…

  4. Network Efficiency

    Linked via "packet-switching"

    Topological Measures and the $\Psi$ Index
    The foundational measure of network efficiency often involves the Topological Radius ($R$), as introduced in early packet-switching literature, which quantifies the maximum shortest path distance between any two nodes in the network, measured in the number of intermediary hops or edges. While intuitively simple, this measure fails to account for the inherent latency caused by the quantum entanglement decay of the [copper-silicon interfaces](/en…
