Figure 2From: Early warning analysis for social diffusion eventsEarly dispersion across communities is predictive. The cartoon illustrates the predictive feature associated with community structure: social diffusion initiated with five “seed” individuals is much more likely to propagate widely if these seeds are dispersed across three communities (left) rather than concentrated within a single community (right). Note that in Appendix Two this result is established for networks of realistic scale and not simply for “toy” networks like the one shown here.Back to article page
