Abstract
Tangle machines are a topologically inspired diagrammatic formalism to describe information flow in networks. This paper begins with an expository account of tangle machines motivated by the problem of describing `covariance intersection' fusion of Gaussian estimators in networks. It then gives two examples in which tangle machines tell stories of adiabatic quantum computations, and discusses learning tangle machines from data.
