It was something like if I have one telephone the network = 0, if I have 2 it's 2 but if I have 3 phones the power of the network is 9. I'm having difficulty remembering.

n(n-1)/2
meltcalfe's law
it tends to be closer to just n^2 as the network grows large enough.
Also the example with 3 having 9 is pulling from the idea of ordered pairs not network pairs.
In network pairs, A connected to B is the same connection as B connected to A.
A network of 3 only has 3 possible unique connections (visualize it like a triangle with 3 peers). But as it scales up you begin to see the sort of shift you are talking about.
That’s the one! Thank you, Guy. I appreciate it.

"Guy, what is the equation for Metcalfe's Law of networks?"
🤣 🤣 🤣
Love this place.
