Title: Tropical Semifields and Seed Patterns

Abstract: In this talk, we will examine another way of encoding the data we have used previously, specifically focusing on how to encode the data from the frozen variables in our extended exchange matrix. In this case, we introduce the tropical semifield and will express the exchange relations in terms of a new operation called tropical addition. The advantage of this new framework is that it allows us to perform calculations for arbitrary extensions of a given exchange matrix.
