Reed's Law

Reed's Law states that the value of a social network grows exponentially as the number of groups or communities within it increases. Specifically, it suggests that the total number of possible groups in a network with *n* members is 2^n minus 1, meaning the potential for new connections and collaborations expands very rapidly. This emphasizes that social platforms become more valuable not just because of individual users, but because of the numerous subgroups they enable, fostering diverse interactions and collective action within the network.
