Homophily under model substitution

A research dashboard where the central design problem was making emergent community formation legible to a reader who hasn't taken graph theory. Built a live force-directed graph that starts as scattered grey dots and settles into coloured clusters over rounds, paired with a “diversity score” line that drops in real time — so the viewer watches the homophily mechanism happen rather than reading the resulting statistics. Methodology, comparisons against the original paper, and the full bootstrap analysis sit below the fold, layered for readers who want them but invisible to readers who don't.
