1Area of stationary object
If information is distributed throughout a complex network, then the reach and coverage of information increases, but the feedback capacity and significance of information decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies feedback mechanisms by calculating cyclic entropy that measures the feedback capacity of information as it diffuses through the network. The system monitors information flow and computes entropy values that indicate when feedback becomes significant, allowing the network to understand when information loses its feedback capacity despite widespread distribution.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the parameter of information significance by introducing cyclic entropy as a measurable parameter that quantifies feedback capacity. By transforming the abstract concept of information significance into a measurable entropy parameter, the system can objectively determine when distributed information maintains feedback capacity and when it becomes insignificant.
2Adaptability or versatility
If the network structure becomes more complex, then the ability to model real-world networks improves, but the difficulty of analyzing information feedback increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces complex manual analysis of feedback capacity with an automated computational system. Instead of mechanically analyzing each feedback path in complex networks, the system uses algorithms to calculate cyclic entropy automatically, substituting complex manual measurement with automated computational processes that handle network complexity efficiently.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces cyclic entropy as an intermediary parameter that mediates between network structure and feedback capacity. This intermediary measure simplifies the analysis by providing a single quantitative metric that captures feedback capacity without requiring direct analysis of complex feedback paths, making measurement accessible even for complex network models.
3Speed
If information diffusion is accelerated, then the speed of information spread increases, but the accuracy and value of information decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent uses feedback capacity measurement to monitor information diffusion in real-time. By calculating cyclic entropy during the diffusion process, the system can identify when information spreads too rapidly and loses accuracy, allowing for monitoring and potential correction mechanisms that maintain information reliability despite high diffusion speed.

AI summary
The system and method for determining the feedback capacity of information distributed in a complex network determines feedback capacity as information is received and diffused throughout the network. Traditionally, real networks, such as computer networks, were used in determining network feedback. However, current complex networks typically incorporate graphing models for network analysis. The system and method provide a process to determine the quality of a complex network with respect to feedback capacity, such as can be determined by a corresponding Belief Propagation algorithm and a corresponding entropy equation. The system and method can also determine the cyclic entropy per penetration in a complex network, the depth penetration for nodes in the complex network and a plurality of cycle counts per node in the complex network based on a source node.
