In the first line: "Dots are close to each other if they have a lot of common stargazers."

  That explains why they are "close to each other" but not what determines which nodes are connected by an edge.

    I think it's the other way around. The similarity metric determines which repos have edges (possibly weighted?) And then some clustering algorithm makes sense of this giant graph by laying out sets of nodes that have a lot of edges to each other, close to each other The closeness is just layout, the edges is the data structure that determines closeness.

      This is correct!
