Thinking more about @Falkvinge recent video. Asking vs telling. A KEY distinction in communication. Smallworlds build through ASKING connecting links, building strong chains.
The video was very narrow. When catching-up, the miner is asking. When propagating newly received TXs, it is telling. When propagating a block it newly discovered, it is telling.
narrow for you, an opening for me to start hearing how a small world system works, and I hear it mimic'ing human communication. show me 'propagating/propagation' mentioned in WP.

think from a communication network and read the WP "broadcasting" "timestamped" "hashing" "forming a record" "transfers" "reinforcing" "catching up" "collects" "finds" "working"...

"provides" "distribute" "generated" "accepted" "verification" "linking" "waits" "messages" "routed" "delivered" "vote" "acceptance" "rejecting" "refusing" a network, communicating.
