It sounds to me like a complementary analysis that would live on top of the graph is understanding information dynamics. Cybernetic instead of topological analysis.

In essence, you are defining the graph, but you should add rules for transition and flow on top of that graph and investigate the dynamics of flow through the graph instead of just positing certain topologies correspond with certain final steady states.

An example would be defining some graph and then a Markov process on top of it and studying the master equation (or approximate Fokker-Planck equation) of that graph.

This would give timescales for information to propagate, and timescales for credit expansion/contraction.

Sounds fun to look at in a toy context!

Such a great idea! I wrote this over a lazy weekend, will definitely take you up for the next chapter as soon as I have time to breathe. Wonderful suggestion.

Ultimately, it feels like the presence of deep liquidity pools will drive this future. Therefore, suggest that topology 3 is the natural state
