Might be the result of publishing a paper with the term "Birdtracks" in the title.

Today has been a bird day. Not only did we see no less than 5 cardinals in the tree just past our deck, but we also had a bird visitor stop by and leave some adorable footprints.

I remember accidentally "inventing" bug/birdtrack/graphical notation while taking GR, doing a homework problem that involved a lot of dummy indices, and I wanted to stop writing more and more Greek letters. Anyway, my goto reference is @chaosbook.bsky.social's Birdtracks, birdtracks.eu

Birdtracks conference ahead. Lots of beautiful diagrams! Register now, free of charge. Don't miss it!

I promised to do it without a single formula. Might have been a lecture on Green's theorem for flux. I explained the birdtracks technology, and the rest of the lecture was only birdtracks, no letters. It was beautiful. Kiddies might be still digesting it.

Interestingly, the methods we start to employ for the operator constructions are best explained and analyzed using the birdrtrack formalism. Wanna know more? Join this year's birdtrack meeting indico.global/event/11678/

In case you need something cute to look at this evening. Bird tracks.

Came home to find #Pterodactyl prints in the yard! WTH? We initially thought it might be the #SandhillCranes

Very cool thread! I really enjoy non-traditional applications of Feynman diagrams / diagrammatic notation more generally. You might like Birdtracks (Cvitanovic) if you haven't encountered them already (diagrammatic notation for group theory algebra; cf color flow diagrams if you've run into those)

Hamal wooed my Radcliffe roommate when I was a senior at MIT. Three kids came out of that.
Totally a good guy, and I would even go further.
There is no supercomputer in the sky, and nature does not solve PDEs by cranking Newton-type equation forward in time.

We can write the general definition of the adjoint in my birdtracks-variant notation like this. The dashed lines are barred (conjugated) indices.

In a variant of so-called birdtracks notation, one may write the isometry condition as follows. Lines represent indices. The crossed line on the left indicates the "transpose-y" part of the adjoint.

Sorting out old papers and I came across my one attempt at a talk as a post-grad - acetate slides and all. It was aimed at fellow grad students, hence the not very formal language.

I'd share the text of the intro but it misgenders my late partner - so fucking bizarre to see that written down now.

Lots of hoppy little bird tracks all around our patio. I’ve been flying through seed. The grackles have made this place a prime hangout.
