Through the use of examples, we explain one way in which applied topology has evolved since the birth of persistent homology in the early 2000s. The first applications of topology to data emphasized the global shape of a dataset, such as…

The structure of topological spaces is analysed here through the lenses of fibrous preorders. Each topological space has an associated fibrous preorder and those fibrous preorders which return a topological space are called spacial. A…

We introduce a topological approach to words. Words are approximated by Gauss words and then studied up to natural modifications inspired by homotopy transformations of curves on the plane.
