Small World Theory for Today I posted the Wiki stuff because I'm using an article about measurement framework for social capital in New Zealand and they use the term iwi-based social capital for bridging social capital because the iwi in the Maori semantic is related to family or connectedness. Since I had not pulled the article out of the stack for such a long time when I saw Wiki it looked in my memory like iwi. I have a touch of dyslexia left over from childhood.
Later I stumbled across the Scot Cleland stuff and wanted to google him and found this article from campaign 2000 linking him to Ester Dyson who Ray Ozzie once sited as one of the most well networked people he new of. Then she is mixed up in the current ICAN stuff. So to me she represents a good study of Social Capital.
Next I decide to verify the link in my memory between the Wiki and the New Zealand paper so I went to the Wikipedia, selected math and then physics to see if there was any useful information on Quantum Field Theories. Remembering Dyson had a father and mother in math and physics I spot the Dyson link.
I verified the linkage here
But she comes from a unique family. Born on Bastille Day, July 14, 1951, in Zurich, Switzerland, the daughter of physicist and author Freeman Dyson and mathematician Verena Huber-Dyson, Dyson grew up in Princeton, New Jersey, among Nobel Prize winners, with H-bomb architect Edward Teller as a family friend.
All this because I mixed up two letters and forgot a third. What a small world
