Summary

Appendix A is largely nonrigorous. It starts with a tour of the conjectured phases in the Razborov triangle and the nature of the transitions between them, recalling the numerical evidence behind the conjectured structure, and in particular the conjecture that all entropy maximizers are multipodal. We then turn to a Monte Carlo simulation of finite graphs near the A(3,0) to B(1,1) phase transition. By looking at the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of the adjacency matrices of randomly generated graphs, we can track a sharp transition with graphs as small as 30 nodes and quantify the differences between graphons, which represent graphs of infinite size, and ensembles of finite graphs.
