Prediction: Holarchy with foliated levels will be a dominant aesthetic structure in scientific communication in ~2 years. https://twitter.com/robertghrist/status/1180777892956921856
And here we go: https://twitter.com/3blue1brown/status/1196492747328241664?s=20 With convolution layers and renormalization being actively researched, foliation would be a central visual tool for scientific discourse.

This style of exploring phenomena by breaking it down and making it explorable in multi-dimensional space needs to be more common in scientific communications.

Not really a foliation, but highlights the aspect that graphs can be recursively nested.

Thought I should add the rad work @anvaka is doing with graphs on this thread on foliations: https://twitter.com/anvaka/status/1253572922641313795
