To work around Whova app's apparent inability to actually tell you what talks (not sessions!) are coming up next, I've extracted the list of all upcoming @sunbelt2025paris.bsky.social talks sorted by the talk's (not the session's!) start time: krivitsky.net/sunbelt2025/ . Feel free to share around.

Yes, I see what you're getting at, guess I misunderstood the question a bit. "Ordered pairs of vertices" is the math / graph-theory language for the unit of analysis, as jimi writes. I tend to think of multiple such attributes as a vector-valued tie variable.

In the book I'm writing with Tom Snijders, we call them "tie variables", those n×(n-1) directed entities x_{ij} we usually analyse.
