RelaGonal Infrastructure of the Law (Depth of Treatment)

West Depth of Treatment = Examined = Discussed = Cited = MenGoned

1931 Subjects (Controlled) Subjects with no co‐occurrence are 11 more units distant than subjects with 1 co‐ occurrence. Distance Range = 1 to 67

Standard I Most Want • Replicablity and comparability in the spaGal context. • Will there ever be a meaningful absolute measure of distance that quanGfiably captures similarity/relatedness across topics? Or will this always be relaGve? • For instance will it ever be possible to say that magneGc resonance imaging is 4 units away from x‐ray crystallography, in an absolute (raGo or interval) sense.

Standard I Most Want Two items are 4 units apart: 15 % of all citaGons for a parGcular grouping are related to another parGcular grouping by 4 degrees of separaGon.
