From: Why Shared Neighbours Predict Missing Edges in Networks

Which relationships in your own intellectual network are visible only through overlapping collaborators?

Indirect structure often reveals proximity before direct interaction becomes observable. The exercise turns an abstract graph heuristic into a model of latent affiliation.

Action

Map ten recent collaborators, mark shared contacts, and identify one plausible but unverified connection.
