Looks neat, but I don’t have much intuition about how to interpret it.

yeah the image does not provide enough info. in the interactive map the circles are selectable/clickable, highlighting the connection with other territories and providing its data in the top right card.

What does it mean for territories to be connected?

that have similar or related topics for example:

  // Location-based clusters
        { source: "sanfrancisco", target: "startups", strength: 6 },
        { source: "sanfrancisco", target: "tech", strength: 5 },

The first line is the topic that stands at higher level than territories. In this case, the archived territory ~sanfrancisco is related with ~startups and ~tech by a strenght value

How did you calculate the strength of the connection?

Gotcha

I thought it might be about something like shared zappers.

that could be another way to visualize and filter data... but I think zaps are anonymous, not sure it would be possible. A question for SN team!
