When do personal assistants become the center of the social graph?
Gray human–human ties give way to peach human–Claude ties and orange Claude–Claude ties.

About this model
Where it ends up
A large orange component forms, human–human ties decline, and mediated ties become the majority.
Start with a connected human social network. Each person can adopt one personal Claude, shown as an orange splat beside its owner.
Intermediation replaces a human endpoint of a social tie with their Claude. If both people delegate, their Claudes become connected. Agent affinity makes Claudes form new ties more readily than humans, with preference for well-connected partners.
The force layout responds to those actual ties. A dense Claude component can pull the surrounding humans into its orbit. This is a stylized hypothesis from the supplied screenshot, with adjustable rules rather than measured social data.
