Entropy, cocycles, algebraic K-theory and diagrammatics

Abstract: I will discuss how cocycles appear in a graphical network. Furthermore, the Shannon entropy of a finite probability distribution has a natural interpretation in terms of diagrammatics. I will explain the diagrammatics and their connections to infinitesimal dilogarithms and entropy. If I have time, I will talk about how algebraic K-theory appears in diagrammatics.
