Initial Parameters for $\upsilon$

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

• The Centrality of the contribution of a Participant across their Hubs.

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

• The Variety 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 parameters, we can simplify the general formula as:

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

where:

• $\upsilon_{j, \tt N \cdot}$ is the Peer Value 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.
