### Circles UBI Research: Metrics and Indicators Glossary of Terms 1. [Structural Cohesion](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Structural_cohesion) : 3. [Embeddedness](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Embeddedness) 4. [Spanning Arborescence](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minimum_spanning_tree) : refers to the skeleton of the economic network. It shows the main channels where the money flows between actors. Like a river, the max spanning arborescence is the main river, the main water structure which derives onto others, or like the blood in the body. You have arteries and then veins. Arborescence is directed while a tree is un-directed. 5. [Cyclical Motifs](https://www.nature.com/articles/s41562-018-0450-0) : 6. [Local Multiplier Effect](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Local_multiplier_effect) 7. [Rich-Club Effect](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rich-club_coefficient) 8. [Entropy/Harmony/Sufficiency/Antifragility/Joy](https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S1476945X08000561) reduction of entropy - increasing diversity and resilience/robustness. Deep adaptation - 9. Fractal structures and economic geography: balance of trade based on scales for risk sharing: - visualize the circles network in different layers to separate the big from the small traders - *clustering of similar sized firms based on commercial interactions* so they want to create a lending group between them (b2b/p2p lending) and cooperative capital investments- 10. [Infomap](https://towardsdatascience.com/infomap-algorithm-9b68b7e8b86) 11. Power Map: Based on the differential Accumulation and Differential circulation of different actors within a closely related component. Based on the capital as power method. 11. UBI issuance payout vs growth of trade in the network. 12. Apophasis Based on this - next steps: 1. Wait for the LLuna and Bits for the updated data 2. Look closer into the Berlin Network - particularly tx network/trust network per business partner - start by looking at the cohesion, embeddedness, arboprescence and cyclicality and multipler effects. ![](https://i.imgur.com/UNXw9lp.png) ![](https://i.imgur.com/rOYVpNg.jpg)
