Every true network is a serendipity engine. If it isn't creating serendipity, it's something else faking networkness.

but wouldn't you expect serendipity 'hazard' to normally decline as tie strength increase? So it's not a function of networks per se?

this entails tie strength indicates knowledge overlap in a Hayekian way; is that assumption too strong perhaps?

but every network link has a 'tie strength' & serendipity, in a deep way is 'merely' epistemic, ie a function of knowledge overlap' no?

so lots of networks may be *very* low serendipity networks, but possibly serve other functions. Serendipity seems like a special case.
