Hi Pfs
i found a paper:
https://arxiv.org/abs/math-ph/0306059
in which the author gives a definition of spin networks
it is at the bottom of page 5
the words node or vertex does not appear.
what do you think of it?
Does the author think that all the information is in the hilbert spaces on which the representations act?

I read the paragraph too fast. the author said that what followed concerned
the case of r loops passing all through a single node (look a fig 1)
 
I understand why. He only considers loops based on a single point . He constrcts then a peculiar spin network with only on node.
 
https://arxiv.org/pdf/2503.09804 From the abstract: ... Our derivation uses both EE and the Newtonian approximation of EE in Part I, to describe semi-classically in Part II the advection of DM, created at the level of the universe, into galaxies and clusters thereof. This advection happens proportional with their own classically generated gravitational field g, due to self-interaction of the gravitational field. It is based on the universal formula ρD =λgg′2 for the densityρ D of DM...
Many of us have heard of "twistors", arguably Roger Penrose's biggest contribution to theoretical physics. Twistor space is a space which maps nonlocally onto physical space-time; in particular, lightlike structures in space-time, like null lines and light cones, become much more "local" in twistor space. For various reasons, Penrose thought that twistor space was possibly a more fundamental arena for theoretical physics than space-time, and for many years he and a hardy band of mostly...
