BanterForce: Framework for Cyclical Social Network Transformation Using AI
We propose a four‐phase cycle – Spontaneous Exploration → Critical Path Extraction → Re‐Spontanization → Re‐Evaluation – that continually reshapes a social network. Each phase gathers specific data, applies AI/analytics, and produces targeted outputs. The cycle can be run on a fixed schedule (e.g. weekly/monthly analyses) or adaptively triggered (e.g. when engagement stalls or anomalies appear). Below is a detailed breakdown of each phase with recommended data, methods, outputs, and automation guidelines. Spontaneous Exploration In this phase the network evolves organically while data is collected for analysis. The goal is to capture emerging patterns and allow natural community structures to form before any optimization. • Data to Collect: Social graph snapshots (users and their connections), communication or event logs (messages, posts, meetings, comments), metadata (timestamps, topics, content tags, sentiments), and user attributes. This uncovers who is interacting with whom a...
