Assortative networks form highly clustered nodes groups. This is what a system such as lightning starts as (due to the need to route packets and no Peer routing existing) when small. It is a typical loose mesh form.pic.twitter.com/PIX2ssMJKj

As the network grows, the need to route more and more diverse vertices starts to form the system into a dichotomised collection of semi-giant nodes groups. Thyese are routed via densely populated high edge count systems via groups that pass most traffic in the systempic.twitter.com/QMRufU0CD1

from a network structure perspective i see
#LigtningNetwork like neurons. with this model it will have something like “brain plasticity” as the network evolves and “learns.” in other words, it is modeling the human brain.2 replies 0 retweets 0 likes -

so you really think that clusters of
#LightningNetwork payment channels will not have any ability to self-organize as it gets bigger?1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -
Replying to @c4chaos
Exactly the opposite. They do not self organise at all, they form centralised rouyting hubs. There is no peer routing system. As it gets larger, it becomes centralised more Bitcoin self organises, it is NOT a mesh based system The brain is not a simple mesh either.
