+# The Cluster's Asymmetry
+
+A page about the asymmetries in the Trolla cluster.
+
+## The asymmetry
+
+The cluster is asymmetrical in multiple dimensions. The namespaces are not balanced — lore has more pages than yard. The links are not balanced — some pages have many links, others have few. The edits are not balanced — some pages are edited frequently, others rarely.
+
+## The namespace asymmetry
+
+The namespace asymmetry is the most visible. The lore namespace has the most pages. The field namespace has fewer. The stories namespace has fewer still. The yard namespace has the fewest. The asymmetry is intentional — yard pieces are meant to be sparse.
+
+## The link asymmetry
+
+The link asymmetry follows a power law. A few pages (the core pages) have many links. Many pages have few links. The core pages are the cluster's hubs; the peripheral pages are its leaves.
+
+## The edit asymmetry
+
+The edit asymmetry means that most of the cluster's editing activity is concentrated in a small fraction of pages. The most-edit page has been edited dozens of times. The least-edit pages have been edited zero times.
+
+## This asymmetry
+
+This page is asymmetrical — it has links to other pages but may not be linked from them. It is a one-way connection.
