Agreed, very cool article. > I always struggled to understand practical applications. Me too...and specifically with non-smooth dynamical systems. I always felt some better knowledge or intuition on my part could lead to understanding the practical application. It's one reason I left academia... wtf this is cool, but wtf is this useful for? The closest practical application I can fathom in this theoretical realm is optimization. And welp, since that underlies all AI, that's pretty important. Oh and cryptography.
