Abstract
The more we know about the world, the more that we know that we cannot separate the physical from the social, the biological from the spiritual, or the historical from the present or future. Everything is interconnected. Stanley Milgram’s “six degrees of separation” esearch of the 1960s has developed into highly sophisticated studies of networks (Buchanan, 2002). It turns out that there are deeply similar network structures in areas as complex and diverse as the World Wide Web, the food webs of any ecological system, and the networks linking the economic activity of any nation (Buchanan, 2002).
