!!! Overview
[{$pagename}] is a [Society] or [Community] (Some call it a Social [Group]) made up of a set of [actors] (such as [Natural Persons] or [Organizational Entities|Organizational Entity]), as pair [Relationships], and other social interactions between [actors]. [{$pagename}] that link people through the [World Wide Web] are referred to by [{$applicationname}] as [Social Websites].
[{$pagename}]s have existed for as long as [Humans] have existed. [Social Websites] have reduced the [frictions] of the formation and interactions of [members] by reducing the [time], distance and difficulty of interaction; just as the [World Wide Web] has done for business.
[{$pagename}]s may be of any size as shown within [Dunbar's Numbers] however, the limit of [Peer-to-peer] interactions of a single [Natural Person] is about 150.
[{$pagename}] __is a theoretical construct__ useful in the social sciences to study [relationships] between [entities] ([Natural Persons], [groups], [organizations], or even entire [Community of Interest] social units, see differentiation). The term is used to describe a social structure determined by such interactions. The ties through which any given [{$pagename}] connects represent the convergence of the various [Members] of that unit. This theoretical approach is, necessarily, [relational|Relationship]. An axiom of the [{$pagename}] approach to understanding social interaction is that social phenomena should be primarily conceived and investigated through the properties of relations between and within units, instead of the properties of these units themselves. Thus, one common criticism of social network theory is that individual [agency|Agent] is often ignored although this may not be the case in practice (see agent-based modeling). Precisely because many different types of relations, singular or in combination, form these network configurations, network analytics are useful to a broad range of research enterprises. In social science, these fields of study include, but are not limited to anthropology, biology, communication studies, economics, geography, information science, organizational studies, social psychology, sociology, and sociolinguistics.
