Abstract
We present a model for the pressure between positions in a network. This notion is made operational through identifying the locations and sources of network value. Precisely these ‘markets’, where network value is obtained and generated, can be at stake and determine the pressure a position may experience. Using a limit approach, we also derive our square law of network power.
