Amazing! Any chance the code you used to create those simulations can be found on Github or somewhere? Is it some library (open-source, hopefully) or did you write it from scratch? Those simulations... :-O

One thing this made me think of that is not directly addressed is that new information typically comes from an outsider. Since dense city like networks are already tightly connected it typically takes someone outside the network to bring a new idea or opportunity to the group.

Some historical examples of this are Mendel and his pea experiments and Halsted requiring an outsider from the UK to overturn his harmful radical mastectomy. I think even startups generally could be considered an example of this.
