La successiva metastruttura discussa da Tyler Volk e Jeff Bloom sono i webs - ragnatele, intese come reti di relazione a diverso livello - fisiche, biologiche, sociali, virtuali:
Background
Webs are physical, biological, social, psychological, and virtual networks of relationships. Where spheres can represent a context, webs describe complex sets of interrelationships of a particular context. A complex lattice of tubes, like a sheet, can involve capture, support, or multi-directional movement. In sheets, such movement is within a plane, whereas movement in webs can become 3-dimensional. Webs also involve a sense of complex organization.
Examples
- In science: spider webs, food webs, lattice-like structures in biological and physical forms, retae (network of blood vessels), endoplasmic reticulum, lattice structures of crystals, etc.
- In architecture and design: beam structures in buildings, safety nets, etc.
- In the arts: patterns, sculpture design, etc.
- In social sciences: semantic webs, concept and context maps, hegemony, street layout in cities, social and political contexts, relationships in social and institutional organizations, matrices, etc.
- In other senses: web of deceit, fishing nets, electric grids, the internet or world wide web, “The Matrix” etc.
