Cover Story: In recent years, analysis of the organization and performance of football teams has undergone a methodological revolution, thanks to emergent technologies recording player activity during a match. Nowadays, it is possible to measure all events occurring on the pitch (passes, interceptions, shots, goals, fouls, etc.) with precise temporal and spatial coordinates. In this paper, we investigated the spatial and temporal entropies of football teams, focusing on the locations of all passes made during a match and the evolution of the organization of the corresponding passing networks. The analysis of football teams as time-evolving networks reveals interesting insights about what network parameters behave more/less randomly and, therefore, could be used as indicators for the prediction of future events.

21 February 2020

We modify the simulation hypothesis to a self-simulation hypothesis, where the physical universe, as a strange loop, is a mental self-simulation that might exist as one of a broad class of possible code theoretic quantum gravity models of reality obe...
