Self-dual Yang-Mills famously have a description in terms of twistors; one of the outstanding questions is how to promote it to full (non-self-dual) Yang-Mills and learn about its dynamics. In this talk, I will present some progress in this direction in the "most symmetric" Yang-Mills theory; namely N=4 super Yang-Mills in four dimensions. I will express the full Yang-Mills theory as a deformation of self-dual Yang-Mills. By treating the deformation perturbatively and using the formalism of twistors, I will write down the loop-integrands of correlation functions of determinant operators in the planar limit at any order in the 't Hooft coupling. Interestingly, the final expression is given by a partition function of a "dual" matrix model. This in turn manifests a ten-dimensional structure that combines spacetime and R-charge symmetries of SYM.
