Group-forming networks, according to Reed, increase in value a rate of 2^N, where *N* is the total number of nodes on the network.
The reason why Reed suggested a formula of 2^N instead of N^2 is because the number of possible groups within a network that “supports easy group communication” is much higher than 1, so that the total number of connections in the network (the network density) is not just a function of the total number of nodes (N^2).
