Abstract
A computer model finds an originating community member or members, for instance amongst bloggers, scientific researchers, or phenomena in phenomenological systems. In one embodiment, non-explicit causal relationships may be inferred from comparing blogs as a whole. Influence relationships are derived from a weighted, directed graph output and sources of influence are ranked. This implementation is useful for a variety of applications.
