W3C friends:
I remember TimBL talking/writing about a metaphor for the Web which was like a mashup of Dunbar’s layers: like, the concentric layers of a web could represent your family on the inside, then your neighborhood, your church, etc. all the way out to global scale.

Does anyone else remember this? If so, where is it from? I looked through Weaving the Web and his site and couldn’t find anything.
