How is this calculated?
The math continuously tracks how strongly this post is connected to the rest of the network. Every tag forms a 2-way link. The base stats determine personal node strength, and the pie charts below show this node's share against its direct neighbours.
// 1. Base variables (floored at 1 to prevent zero-multiplication math errors)
$inbound = max(1, 4) = 4
$outbound = max(1, 5) = 5
// 2. Node Base Values (Local connection strength)
Base_Strength (PV) = $inbound * $outbound = 4 * 5 = 20
Base_Influence (IV) = $inbound / $outbound = 4 / 5 = 0.8
// 3. Exponential Network Values (accumulating 5 direct neighbours)
Network_Strength (CV) = Base_PV * (Neighbour_1_PV * Neighbour_2_PV * ...)
= 20 *
( 6 [Rongguang Yu] *
1 [Ben Graham] *
1 [J.R.] *
1 [Johnny Morrow] *
1 [Steve Watson]
)
= 120
Network_Influence (TV) = Base_IV * (Neighbour_1_IV * Neighbour_2_IV * ...)
= 0.8 *
( 1.5 [Rongguang Yu] *
1 [Ben Graham] *

)
= 1.2
