ABSTRACT
The emergent structures of social networks show that this cannot quite be true — there are forces arising from the way the human mind works, and from the ways human society works that influence each individual decision. However, most social network analysis has been limited to modelling settings where relationships are of a single type, usually with an associated (positive) intensity. The embeddings of the edges added between the layers reveal many subtle properties about the social network being modelled. In general, the length of an embedded edge "should" match its weight — edges with large weights should be shorter than edges with small weights. Discrepancies between expected and actual embedded length are particularly useful for the extra edges added in the nexus when a composed layered model is used. These edges represent, as before, discrepancies between the roles of the individual associated with that node with respect to all of the edge semantics in play in the layered composition.
