	Small world phenomenon - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In his first "small world" experiment (documented in an undated paper entitled "Results of Communication Project"), Milgram sent 60 letters to various recruits in Wichita, Kansas who were asked to forward the letter to the wife of a divinity student living at a specified location in Cambridge, Massachusetts.
		For those chains that did reach completion the number 6 emerged as the mean number of intermediaries and thus the expression "six degrees of separation" (perhaps by analogy to "six degrees of freedom") was born.
		Recent work in the effects of the small world phenomenon on disease transmission, however, have indicated that due to the strongly-connected nature of social networks as a whole, removing these hubs from a population usually has little effect on the average path length through the graph (Barrett et al., 2005).

	How can a small number of genes build a complex mental machine?
		As soon as they are born, babies can imitate facial gestures, connect what they hear with what they see, tell the difference between Dutch and Japanese, and distinguish between a picture of a scrambled face and a picture of a normal face.
		Nativists like Steven Pinker and Stanislas Dehaene suggest that infants are born with a language instinct and a "number sense".
		Although the power of any one gene working on its own is small, the power of sets of genes working together is enormous.

		Human Rights Watch, Oxfam International and Amnesty International call on a small number of "spoiler" countries to stop holding the UN World Summit hostage over crucial measures on human rights, security, genocide and poverty reduction.
		Oxfam is very concerned that a small number of countries are determined to block an historic draft measure on governments' "responsibility to protect civilians" that could stop future genocides such as Rwanda from ever occurring.
		"The possibility that a small number of states with deeply troubling human rights records could block the creation of a more effective human rights body is not only ironic, it is disgraceful," said Peggy Hicks, Human Rights Watch's Global Advocacy Director.

	OpenP2P.com: In Defense of Cities
		Cities are not isolated things so much as the large-scale intersection of countless small forces, forces which in aggregate give cities the kind of homeostasis and adaptability that have made them such surprisingly long-lived features of human life.
		This uneven distribution is usually described as a "power law," where there are a small number of big things, a medium number of medium-sized things, and a large number of small things.
		One of the joys and challenges of living in a city is sheer number of different communities in terms of ethnicity, belief, economic status, lifestyle and community.
