Like my series on memetics and the lemma of complexity, this will veer heavily into speculation and perhaps misinterpretation/misunderstanding of various topics. I do later try to check them all for accuracy, and update if I notice any substantial errors.
Cool post. I think the first I ever heard of the grain of sand model was Mandelbrot Misbehavior of Markets book. It's also the mechanism of viral spread in the boardgame Pandemic which uses a "spill to neighbors" function which leads to cascades.
Hi Lily, for a mathematically inclined CS student where can I start learning about the topics you discuss. This shit flies over my head but I want to understand it. Any advice on subjects or resources?

I look forward to how you flesh this out.
Lily, your combination of wit, intelligence, and creativity amazes me. Great work.
Absolutely love this writing style :)
This is absolutely fascinating stuff and I'm looking forward to see where you take it. Thank you!
