Homogenization is the approximation of a complex, “disordered” system by a simpler, “ordered” one. Picture a walker on a grid. In each step, the walker chooses to walk along a neighboring edge with equal probability. At large scales, the walker approximates Brownian motion. But what if some edges are more likely to be traversed than others?
