moonshine
More recent projects stir the imagination, even if the field is still young. Computer programs have generated over one thousand conjectures in graph theory↗, expressing numerical relationships between different graph invariants. One open conjecture is described in the box “An Open Computer-Generated Conjecture”. No technological barriers prevent us from unleashing conjecturing machines in all branches of mathematics, to see what moonshine they reveal.
