Watts & Strogatz

Network Topology

Coined the phrase 'small world networks', popularized in the idea of 'six degrees of separation' (as well as 'six degrees of Kevin Bacon)

Draft content... updates coming soon...

Duncan Watts and Steve Strogatz help demonstrate how certain network structures allow information to spread more quickly and effectively - so resources or flows disperse throughout the network despite all agents (or actors) not being directly connected.</i>

Earlier work by Milgram 1967 experiment (small world - six degrees)

The Pattern in Nature's Networks

Science shows it's a small world after all-and nature's networks follow a similar pattern.
