Great stress is placed on the role that the monitoring of information sending plays in maintaining the effectiveness of the network.

Since the air is a continuum, the network of communication remains intact regardless of the positions or motions of the points ( the people ) in the net.

The connective system, or network, is tailored to meet the requirements of the objective, and it is therefore not surprising that a military body acting as a single coordinated unit has a different communication network than a factory, a college, or a rural village.

It will readily be seen that in this suggested network ( not materially different from some of the networks in vogue today ) greater emphasis on monitoring is implied than is usually put into practice.

Furthermore, the network in Figure 3 is only the basic net through which other networks pertaining to logistics and the like are interlaced.

In continuation of these theoretical studies, a more precise elucidation of the effects of imperfections in network structure is sought.
