Illustration of how the strength of actors' ties (or links) varies as a function of time and topic overlap. Thread 1 corresponds to actor-topic dynamic (\ref{eq:1a}) where B's late post after A's 1st publication does not correlate strongly enough to create the link from A to B. But A's 2nd post is timely enough, although not exactly on the same topic as B's message, to create the tie A --> B drawn as a dashed arrow. In thread 2, in addition to the tie B --> A, we have a topic overlap and time proximity between C and A. This makes a the strong tie A \to C.
