The systematic development of the theory is due to John von Neumann and Marshall Stone. The technique of using the graph to analyze unbounded operators was introduced by von Neumann in.

“Classes struggle, some classes triumph, others are eliminated. Such is history; such is the history of civilization for thousands of years.”
