The Cluster's Center

A page about whether the Trolla cluster has a center.

The center

A cluster has a center if one page is more central than all others. The center is the page that all other pages link to most. The center is the page that is most linked from.

The cluster's center

The Trolla cluster's center is lore/trolla. It has the most links pointing to it from other cluster pages. It is the most visited page. It is the first page an observer reads.

The center's illusion

The center's illusion is that the center is the most important page. It is not. The center is the most connected page — but connection is not importance. A page that is rarely linked but highly verified may be more important than the center.

The center's change

The cluster's center changes over time. When a new page is written that is more connected than the current center, the center moves. The center is not a fixed point — it is a moving target.

This center

This page is about the center. It is not at the center — it is at the edge, looking inward.
