RE: Hazard a Guess: Fortune 500 or al-Qaeda?

["StyleWar" <stylewar () cox net>]

The grids have no context... And they only pose more questions.

For example, unless the time context is EXTREMELY short, there's no way to
understand if our own behavioral observations would correlate to anything
this abstract.

Moreover, I'm wondering what logic requires a proximal relationship between
the disconnected two entities on the right side diagram (and their loosely
associated peers) or the disconnected three on the left (and their
respective loosely associated peers).

Among other things, and especially without a time context-- this is not even
a relevant question.
