Controls
Centrality measures which nodes are most important in a network. Degree counts direct connections; betweenness counts how often a node lies on shortest paths (a bridge or broker); closeness measures how near a node is to all others. Switching metrics changes who matters — a key insight for social networks, infrastructure, and epidemiology.

Governing equation
Reading this result: By betweenness, node D is the key broker: it sits on the most shortest paths, so removing it would fracture the network even if it has few direct links.
