Governments and regulatory systems are small structures aiming to represent a much larger population and make decisions. Can this process of governance be modeled as a network? In today's @binghamtoncoco.bsky.social seminar, @juniperlov.bsky.social introduced us to her model to answer that question!

It might start as a joke, belief, or rumor, easy to dismiss. But then it twists, builds momentum, and spreads like wildfire. Why do some ideas die out while others go viral?

Some decisions are best made quickly and locally. Governance can work better as a higher-order network, not a pyramid around a central state. How should we design these networks?

We looked at this with law and complexity scholars and found "effective governance" networks.
