  Dr. John More is a passionate scientist and an even more passionate dessert enthusiast. He dreams of creating the best dulce de leche the world has ever seen by combining different chemical elements, represented as nodes in a network. He conducts three experiments, each revealing unique connection patterns among the elements: Experiment 1: Dr. More notices that elements with high degrees (many connections) prefer to join with elements near the network's edges (low-degree nodes). "This could be the smoothness I need for my dulce de leche," he muses. Experiment 2: Here, high-degree elements only connect to other high-degree elements, leaving isolated elements on the edges.
