We wish to compute an exemplary connection matrix in detail, so we must choose a sub-web. We now consider a set of domains (campus computer networks) comprising the University of California (UC) system, for which N = 9. We might as well have chosen the 45 nations of Europe, or the 5 continents, and most probably the synergy matrices and images for these systems will be posted in due time on the WWW at http://www.vismath.org/webwatch. We go on now to illustrate, using this small subweb, the creation of the synergy matrix, and its associated image.
The domains of the UC system, and their sizes, are shown in Table 1.
