Chapter 13: @jsaramak.bsky.social & @pholme.bsky.social on temporal networks of social interactions. A fascinating chapter showing why static network snapshots often miss the most important thing: the timing and order of interactions. Social networks are dynamic processes, not just fixed structures.
