Douglas C. North, co-nobel prize 1993 in economics on groups of people communicating, open exchange of information and interaction between other members.

There is some math on this subject, simple is the sociogram where n members have two way links between each two, such that the sum of links any one member has is this:
L(n)=(n)(n-1)/2.

Thus L(n) is second order geometric with the number of group members.

The Internet has, as I experience such, changed the “game” theories than can be applied.

Yes, start with the division, “bean counters” (bc) and “word merchants” (wm), and leave some “Gibbs interface” (Gi)i) between the two groups.

This is a triplet of concepts, closer to the Natural Number, “e” than classical binary logics.

Just the tip of the Ice Berg.

As time goes the seas warm, change saltiness, the Ice berg tip reduces or rises with many factors.

Don’t disparage word merchants nor bean counters, the model moves with time, a slice of time turn a fuzzy dot dividing on plane paper into two fuzz dots, that is the triplet, a more stable abstract, and a nice Spinozian observation, circa 1531.

This time we side step the Inquisition.
