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, 9) = 9
$outbound = max(1, 9) = 9
// 2. Node Base Values (Local connection strength)
Base_Strength (PV) = $inbound * $outbound = 9 * 9 = 81
Base_Influence (IV) = $inbound / $outbound = 9 / 9 = 1
// 3. Exponential Network Values (accumulating 18 direct neighbours)
Network_Strength (CV) = Base_PV * (Neighbour_1_PV * Neighbour_2_PV * ...)
= 81 *
