Complex systems: Romanesque networks
Steven H. Strogatz1
Abstract
Newly won evidence shows that many real-world network systems obey a power-law scaling, just as if they were fractal shapes. Could this be the harbinger of a new architectural law for complex systems?
At lunch a few weeks ago, a colleague abruptly pulled a massive vegetable from his briefcase and passed it around the table. He was offering the rest of us a head of Romanesque broccoli — to ponder, not to eat.
