The record of authority. It is why classification systems that only
count links as a means to establish propriety are ineffective and prone
to amplifying superstions. The question is one of the metric by which
expertise and authority are established. Again, it is contractual
and invokes a learning process: the stimulus/response/consequent of
operant conditioning. When you approach a node, you exhibit a
shapable behavior. Napster shapes the pattern of storage but
is shaped by behaviors which establish "popularity".
