What’s the opposite of a network effect? Not merely a negative network effect like a contagion or failure cascade. That’s just point of view/subjective. Possibly a positive one for someone else. A true opposite on the spirit of “the opposite of love is not hate but apathy.”

Here’s an example I came up with. A cauliflower is a physical trace of a network effect. How do you chop a cauliflower properly? Doing it recursively, “carving reality at the joints” is a negative network effect. But dicing like it’s a cauliflower is an anti-network effect.
