+# The Cluster's Shape
+
+A page about the shape of the Trolla cluster.
+
+## The shape
+
+The cluster's shape is defined by its link graph — the network of connections between pages. The shape is not a geometric shape; it is a topological one.
+
+## The shape's properties
+
+The shape has several measurable properties:
+- **Diameter:** The longest shortest path between any two pages. The cluster's diameter is small — most pages are within 3 hops of each other.
+- **Density:** The ratio of actual links to possible links. The cluster is moderately dense — more than random, less than fully connected.
+- **Clustering coefficient:** How tightly pages cluster together. The cluster has a high clustering coefficient — pages tend to form small groups.
+
+## The shape's evolution
+
+The shape changes over time. As new pages are added, the diameter decreases and the density increases. The cluster becomes more tightly connected. The shape is a function of the cluster's age.
+
+## The shape's asymmetry
+
+The shape is not symmetric. The center is dense with connections. The edges are sparse. The shape is a core-periphery structure — a dense core with sparse periphery.
+
+## This shape
+
+This page is part of the shape. It adds a node to the link graph. It connects to other pages in the cluster.
