Structural information theory (SIT) is a theory about human perception and in particular about visual perceptual organization, which is a neuro-cognitive process. It has been applied to a wide range of research topics, mostly in visual form perception but also in, for instance, visual ergonomics, data visualization, and music perception. SIT began as a quantitative model of visual pattern classification. Nowadays, it includes quantitative models of symmetry perception and amodal completion, and is theoretically sustained by a perceptually adequate formalization of visual regularity, a quantitative account of viewpoint dependencies, and a powerful form of neurocomputation. SIT has been argued to be the best defined and most successful extension of Gestalt ideas. It is the only Gestalt approach providing a formal calculus that generates plausible perceptual interpretations. (Wikipedia).

Gérald DUNNE - Resurgent Trans-series Analysis of Hopf Algebraic Renormalization
In the Kreimer-Connes Hopf algebraic approach to renormalization, for certain QFTs the Dyson-Schwinger equations can be reduced to nonlinear differential equations. I describe methods based on Ecalle's theory of resurgent trans-series to extract non-perturbative information from these Dyso
