elementsreciprocity
Elementsreciprocity is a conceptual framework in systems theory and network science that describes reciprocal influence among the elements of a complex system. The core idea is bidirectional interaction: element A affects B, and B simultaneously affects A, with the strength and direction of exchange shaped by context, timing, and the properties of the elements involved. This emphasis on reciprocity helps explain how stable patterns and coordinated responses emerge from many interdependent parts.
In formal terms, elements are modeled as nodes in a directed, weighted graph. Pairwise reciprocity between elements
Applications span social and organizational networks, ecological interactions, economic exchanges, and engineered systems such as collaborative
It relates to broader notions of reciprocity and feedback but remains distinct in its explicit focus on
Limitations include challenges in measurement, data incompleteness, and distinguishing causality from correlation in dynamic networks. While
