Network effects in QM: Network effects are an interesting phenomena: the more nodes in the network the more “valuable” it is by some metric. A language is more useful the more people that speak it. A currency has more purchasing power the more people that use it. But I also wonder if the same holds true for particles. A small network of particles is called a molecule and has its own distinct properties like binding affinity. And if you have a very large amount of particles together you can get a fusion reaction (like in the core of stars). Networks can be sticky too. We see that readily in monetary networks like the USD and Bitcoin. There’s a sort of gravity there. An attraction that exists only at the network level but not at the individual node/particle level. Makes me wonder if “quantum gravity” is somehow a network effect due to entanglement?
