Has anyone understood the math in this IIT?
Is it just some measure of 'feedback' in a connected system and Koch is

Surely this is one of these cases where mathematics has been
added in an attempt to add credibility. It is cosmetic. I don't
think you are supposed to actually try and understand it.
Cosmetic mathematics is like legalese: the more incomprehensible
