Modelling Hegemonic Power Transition in Cyberspace

Figure 7

The logarithmic power function for two values of the exponent . It has two regions, one that curves up and one that curves down. States in the second region have an advantage over those in the first region. In other words, once a state has enough wealth to reach the steep increase in power, it joins an elite club of powerful states. The less wealth required to reach that region, the more power-diffuse a domain is. Reducing the exponent shrinks that region and so models increasingly power-diffuse domains.
