Overview of 2025

Happy New Year! It is time for the traditional post about our last year's yield. And its still quite good. Though this year, I received some help from my colleague Vygintas Gontis who wrote four posts on macroeconomics and prepared one interactive app.

Fig. 1:The number of posts written in English and still available on this iteration of Physics of Risk (as of the end of 2025). The wide bars represent total number of posts for each year since 2010, while the narrower bars represent a number of posts containing an interactive app.

We have started the year with various modifications of the Colonel Blotto game. This series of posts culminated in Colonel Blotto moving to an adjacent field of sports. Next we have discussed periodic polling effects and information delay in the noisy voter model [1]. While in the autumn, we have had couple of posts on various assorted topics.

What's next? Still, I am bit overwhelmed and have no concrete plans, but occasionally I'll post something interesting.
