User: Can you explain proof nets and the geometry of interaction to me in crisp, clear terms?
Assistant: Sure, I'll do my best to explain these concepts in a simple way.

Proof Nets: Proof nets are a graphical representation of proofs in linear logic. They were introduced to overcome the problem of redundancy in the sequent calculus representation of proofs. In simple terms, proof nets are a way to represent logical proofs as graphs, where nodes represent logical operations and edges represent the flow of information. They provide a way to check the correctness of a proof in a more efficient manner than traditional methods.

Geometry of Interaction (GoI): The Geometry of Interaction is a mathematical framework that was introduced to understand the dynamics of computation in linear logic and other computational systems. It provides a geometric interpretation of computation, where computations are seen as movements in a geometric space.
