A lot of human networks are more connected than square and triangle lattices. I wonder whether there is a way of taking a number of connected nodes, somehow extracting and looking at the interaction relevant to a sub-lattice, and generalising the result to the whole network. Am I being optimistic? I wonder how the multiple graph ‘levels’ (which could interact with each other) would come into play. EXCHANGES, BROKERS, HEDGE_FUNDS, INTERNET_PIPES, PEOPLE. What existing tools are there for analysing information propagation like in the paper?
