Switching metaphors away from bio, diamond bc of multi-faceted. Adds 8 more aspects. - temporality - direction - valence (subjective ratio of pos/neg emotions etc.) - layer weighting (as a weight stemming from a question asked of the data, not an aspect of the actual connection) - social graph - context dependence (diff roles peers can have) - decay (a measure of temporality, with temporality being a moment, decay the distance to it) - node value, a measure of what a weak tie connects to inverse proportional to alternative routes available. replaceability, which is a overly utilitarian term when applied to peers imo.

the question is, do you need this for the connection to be usable? The example connection is part of Martijn's strong ties, and you already know, have an intuitive picture, without the data at hand. weak ties are of high interest bc of their potential bridging value, the [[Informatiewaarde ligt in verrassing surprisal 20210124072501]] they bring. In the middle ground, my [[Social Distance als ordeningsprincipe 20190612143232]], say the 150+ to 500 is where this weight may be more interesting. You have no mental image strong enough to just know them, they are not far out to have a role in wide flung connectivity, but do serve as a great curation filter for info. Is the weight here a measure of [[Contactivity 20051105150458]], for the middle part.

An example of contactivity itself, my phrasing showing here how I thought of the Plazes team. Felix was at the first BlogWalk I organised spring '04, and showed me early Plazes, then 2005 I met Peter through it in Copenhagen. In 2006 here it's an established part of my 'long list of distributed self' https://www.zylstra.org/blog/2007/10/the_long_list_o/

March 2006, this is pre-FB (oct 06) and pre-Twitter (I used Jaiku at the time, T from dec 06).

That 80% now easily is 100%m but it sounds right. I think KB/KM Europe (00-02) BlogTalk (03, 04, 06) and Reboot (from 05) made it so, as those contacts were online first. Previous online interaction from '89-'99 was centered on pre-existing contacts and information more I think. From '00 is when [[Contactivity 20051105150458]] rather than connectivity kicked in for me.
