Primes

• Common-Medium Intermediation
  • The argument is combinatorial: the count of pairwise translations grows as N times N-minus-one over two, while the count of one-to-medium adaptations grows as N.

    This sourceStates the network-value law derived from the N(N−1)/2 possible pairwise connections versus N adopters of a shared standard — the combinatorial basis of the hub collapse and the network effect.
