Chapter 5: Social Graph
"Hongik Ingan: Your friends are not scattered, they are unified."
5.1 The Scattered Friends Problem
Your Friend Kim Minsu
=====================
Platform A: @kim_minsu (500 followers)
Platform B: @minsukim (200 followers)
Platform C: @minsu_dance (1000 followers)
Platform D: @kimminsu92 (50 followers)
Same person.
Four different accounts.
You follow on some, not others.
No way to know they're the same person.
Your Social Network Today
=========================
Instagram: 500 friends
Twitter: 800 friends
TikTok: 200 friends
Bluesky: 150 friends
Total "friends": 1650
But actual unique people: Maybe 600?
Overlap unknown.
Connections fragmented.
Relationships incomplete.
