The study of how networks change over time—how connections form, strengthen, weaken, and break; how information, diseases, or behaviors propagate through network structures; how networks evolve, adapt, and respond to internal and external pressures. Network dynamics combines graph theory with time-based analysis to understand the life of networks: how friendships grow and fade, how markets form and collapse, how epidemics surge and recede, how ideas spread and die. It's the science of relationship over time, revealing that networks are not static architectures but living systems that reshape themselves through the very flows they carry. A network's past shapes its future; its structure influences what can flow through it; and what flows through it reshapes its structure.
