Mapping Complex Systems - The Epstein Network

I've posted many articles with examples of mapping networks.  Here's another example.  This should be of interest to many.

I'm reading an article titled, "The "Epstein Files" and the anatomy of hidden social networks: How secrecy reshapes structure and why its analysis is conditional on data."   It includes this graphic, which is a map of 25,232 documents downloaded from the Epstein Files.

I won't even try to summarize what this interactive map is showing and how it's featured in this "Complexity Thoughts" article.  I strongly encourage you to read it for yourself,  then open the map and explore it.  

What this demonstrates is the wide range of data that can be organized and communicated via tools like Kumu, Gephi, NodeXL and others.

What's more, without "sense making", as demonstrated by this article, the size of the database will actually work against creating shared understanding or commitment to agreed-upon paths to solutions.

I'll look forward to learning more.
