One weird realization changed how I study:
The structure behind a social network…
looks surprisingly similar to the structure behind Calculus.
Different labels.
Same relationships.
Different subjects.
Same information network.
What stalking social networks taught me about Linear Algebra:
Not everyone brings new information.
Some people are original sources.
Some people just repeat what already exists.
If C can already be inferred from A and B,
does C actually add anything new?
Turns out that’s surprisingly close to Linear Independence.
