Concept
A small number of high-degree nodes drive a disproportionate share of total spread — a network-structure effect with no offline equivalent at the same scale. Distinct from manipulation surface: it’s about who is positioned to amplify, not what can be exploited. (Catalog gap flagged by the psychology-of-virality extraction.)
