6.3. Applying directed typed embeddings

Figure 6.6: Embedding of the typed Chalonero social network using the Chung directed embedding (C = call version, M = meeting version)
through meetings with a few trusted contacts, including his son, N2. In Figure 6.6,
N1 is placed far away from his son, N2, while the other two embeddings more accurately place him close to N2.
Table 6.2 shows that the normalized embedded lengths for the important group
members are all well above average, and they could have been identified by this
alone. Other members with large normalized edge lengths are explicable from their
roles in the embedded network: N19 plays a role in the connection between the central group and the subgroup in the lower left; N31 and N79 are peripheral; but N54
has interestingly varying roles that are only made visible by the combined embedding
in Figure 6.7.
Stupor Mundi organization
Figure 6.8 shows the embedding of the Stupor Mundi network using our directed
typed approach. All the key individuals are placed close to each other. In this network, N46 was the boss; N35 was another high-status trafficker; and two brothers
N27 and N28 were “assigned”, respectively, to support them. Although N35 is outranked by N46, his large normalized edge lengths indicate his importance in communication both by telephone and in meetings. The two brothers, N27 and N28, the
assistants, have significantly different normalized edge lengths. The small values for
N27 indicate that his roles are consistent with each other, and he has low net flow
influence also; but the large values of N28 indicate his importance in the network.
