100s of millions are online. chose a random site, enter some data about yourself. site has 20M members. (zoom in 10e-1) narrow down these 20M to 100. (zoom in 10e-5) enter some more data, another power of 10 gone -> 10. notice a 93% correlation of character traits in 1 of these (another 10e-1 zoom). start a dialog. reveal information tit for tat. draw a physical perimeter of 100), 10), 2 kilometers, and narrow it down as you learn more. exchange more emails. on a whim, go out for a drink with that person. have a very nice chat. exercise for the reader: calculate the probabilities.
