The Peer archetype

Initial Parameters for $\upsilon$

Initially, we will be using three (3) main parameters for evaluating an individual’s Peer Value (Global Reputation):

• The Centrality ( $\alpha$ ) of the contribution of a Participant across their Hubs.

• The Betweenness (Interconnection) ( $\beta$ ) of a Participant respect to their peers.

• The Variety ( $\gamma$ ) in the Contributions delivered by a Participant across all their Hubs.

On a concrete level, they also identify the main "archetypes" of a value-contributor:

• The Pillar ( $\alpha$ )

• The Socialite ( $\beta$ )

• The Polymath ( $\gamma$ )

From these archetype we can extract a compound parameter, called Peer archetype ( $\mathring{a}$ ):

$$\displaystyle \mathring{a}_{\tiny (j, \tt H \cdot)} = \frac {(w_{\tiny \alpha} \times \alpha) + (w_{\tiny \beta} \times β_{\tiny j}) + (w_{\gamma} \times \gamma)} {3}$$

where:

• $\mathring{a}_{j, \tt N \cdot}$ is the Peer archetype of Participant j across all their Hubs $[\tt h \cdot]$ in the set $[\tt H \cdot]$.

• $\alpha$ is the Centrality of j's Participation Score (PS) in all their Hubs.

• $\beta$ is the Interconnection (Betweenness) of j with their peers.

• $\gamma$ is the variety of j’s contributions across their Hubs

The dominant parameter will determine the Archetype of the Contributor j.
