Going back to the solar system analogy, we can think of members like particles floating in outer space and their “sense of community” is like gravity, pulling them together to form planets, solar systems, and galaxies. Like particles in space, as they gather and form a more dense mass, the gravitational pull of that mass increases and attracts more particles. That's why it's so important to not just focus on activity rates but also the quality and depth of interactions, or “network density”. Analytics alone will only tell you so much. You need to complement that data with qualitative research using interviews and surveys. Ten super tightly packed particles will have a stronger gravitational pull than thousands of particles that are widely spaced and have less density. Getting 10 people together who form deep relationships will serve as a stronger foundation of community than getting 1,000 people together who will be loosely connected.
The Business of Belonging
David Spinks
The point, for the thesis I'm seeking to put forward, is that there are forces we can call our allies. As Resistance works to keep us from becoming who we were born to be, equal and opposite powers are counterpoised against it. These are our allies and angels.

The goodwill mergers did not resolve failed S&Ls; they created fictitious income and hid real losses. The accounting was fraudulent, the goodwill was worthless, and the new managers weren’t geniuses. Indeed, they were often criminals.
