Topology

It's all built in part around raw, improvised drum recordings from his longtime Rival Sons bandmate, Michael Miley.

And the result is called Topology.

And if you don't mind me explaining, in, in mathematics, uh, topology, I understand, is the study of what stays the same even when everything else is allowed to bend.

Scott's debut solo album, Topology, is out September 25th on Sacred Tongue Recordings via Thirty Tigers, led by the first single, It's So Cool.

They're a Dream.

It's a project about instinct, discipline, and following a creative thread until it becomes its own world.

Uh, m- you know, I write with Jay Buchanan in Rival Sons, and he just released this beautiful solo record that, that blew me away.

Unbelievable.

Notice that the number of logical qubits, that's an important bit, the number of logical qubits encoded in the TOR code does not depend on what type of tessellation I picked.

This is a signature that this code is a topological code.

Topological here refers to the fact that the number of encoded logical qubits is defined by the topology of the manifold that I that I started with.

So the microscopic details, the fine structure of this tessellation may change, but the number of encoded logical qubits will not change.

So now you may ask, where does the fine structure of that tessellation enter? that fine structure of the fine structure not in the same fine structure, but it has nothing to do with fine structure in physics.

Two? Not just the one hole.

Topologists.

One.

Just one hole.

like, no, no, no. Yeah.

Topology says that

as well.

Yeah.
