Cognitive Knowledge Networks & Local Know-How

"It’s not who you know, it’s what who you know knows."  Or so suggest cognitive knowledge networks.  Noshir Contractor can tell you all about it.  Rob Curley can tell you all about who knows who knows in Lawrence, Kansas.

This adds a lot of challenges to the veracity involved in traditional borders, both in space and mind.  Watch these networks appear at CommonCensus, who is letting you map where you think you live, or marumushi, who is mapping social networks in flickr.

A crash course on spontaneous order may be appropriate for those kindergarten classes soon.
