That lies behind the world model. Because that is a typology of world models, which is very important. There are so many different world models that something is needed behind them. On this basis it is possible to produce a kind of theory. Hierarchical influences - that is not a problem.
Network analysis is more difficult, because sometimes it is hidden.
This kind of analysis of world models and ontologies can reveal some hidden pieces of networks. Some connections in networks are difficult to identify. A potential network is at least of the same importance as an actual network, because it is easy to transform a potential network into an actual one. And that is an explanation of the classical problem which was studied in economics. The shifting of value systems - the shifting of mass behavior.
