Hello, PeterV: Polyhierarchical structures that I have seen usually still look like the usual hierarchical structures. The ability to have more than one parent is not one that is usually used, I would suggest. You'd see only a few of those on a diagram. Network structures can look like almost anything, I'd wager. Perhaps those mostly-circular network designs we have seen are a good example of how dramatically "different" networks can be in their visible "shape." Thoughts?
