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, 15) = 15
$outbound = max(1, 14) = 14
// 2. Node Base Values (Local connection strength)
Base_Strength (PV) = $inbound * $outbound = 15 * 14 = 210
Base_Influence (IV) = $inbound / $outbound = 15 / 14 = 1.0714
// 3. Exponential Network Values (accumulating 87 direct neighbours)
Network_Strength (CV) = Base_PV * (Π Neighbour_PVs) = 1.45 × 10106
Network_Influence (TV) = Base_IV * (Π Neighbour_IVs) = 2.081655
