Assumption 3: People connect with others of similar connectivity.
This seems obviously wrong to me, at least in part.
There are a few factors I can think of that influence connectivity.
Job. (Cashier, Barista, teacher>normal desk job)
number of social circles.
Size of social circle
How much of a given circle an individual actually interacts with.
I’m sure there are more. Aside from size of social circle, most humans are more likely to be connected to a random [very connected person] than a random [not very connected person].
(Differences existing in exposure, connectivity etc.. are obvious imo)
