A branching network with one connected red cluster.

Why open it

This interactive explainer makes connections part of the experiment: you build and alter networks rather than only reading about them. It is an approachable way to ask how a pattern of links can matter alongside individual choices. Treat the simulations as models, not forecasts for a specific community.

Take a question with you

Try opening with a question: would adding more connections always improve a group’s judgment? Use the examples to refine what “improve” would mean.
