Hold this as a prompt, not a verdict. Two constructs sitting close in meaning is a reason to read them side by side and decide for yourself whether they are one idea under two names. It is not proof that they are. Compare the meanings in the Collider.
A single standalone construct; nearby constructs are located against it in the Collider. Tap a field for its definition, unit, and measures.

Social network analysis
A tie linking separate clustersA tie between two people that is the only connection between the otherwise separate groups they each belong to, so that anything passing from one group to the other has to cross it: removing it would leave the two clusters with no path between them. Granovetter's 1973 The strength of weak ties argued that such bridges tend to be weak ties, and that they carry novel information precisely because they reach beyond one's densely connected circle. The referent is a structural feature of a social network, measured by its position between clusters, and it is unrelated to a structure over a river, a device on a network, or a section of a song.[1]
