Analogy between protein and social network.***

***Because our olog (Figure 4) was designed to abstract away the particulars of either the protein or the social network (using terms like “brick” instead of “amino-acid cluster” or “transceiver”), this table serves to remind the reader of the particulars in each case. Each type in the olog is described in these two cases. Some types, such as “a real number”, stand on their own and we merely give examples. Others, such as “a one-dimensional system of bricks, glue, and lifeline” require a bit more description in the concrete cases. For more on this, see relevant sections in the text in “Results and Discussion”. This table provides the necessary description to connect the concrete formulations in the case of our protein and social network to the abstract formulation given by Figure 4.
