Dave's conference topic

I'll be speaking on partially ordered sets, with a look to potential modeling applications.

A Partially Ordered SET, or POSET, is a set of objects with an associated partial order (reflexive, transitive, anti-symmetric). A common partial order is the integers, and the less-than-or-equal-to operator for the ordering. I dunno if there's any way to model the brain with this stuff - the reflexitivity might make this tough - but this'll be a pretty good group to test it out on.
