How It Is Calculated

Count the figure-set intersection for every local neighbour and keep the largest count; use zero when there are no shared figures.

What a higher value means

The focal place has a particularly figure-rich tie to at least one neighbour.

Important qualification. This maximum can be driven by one pair of places and does not describe the rest of the neighbourhood.

Current Model Cohort

These descriptive statistics use the current labelled cohort after aliases have been collapsed to one row per MANTO place.

Group	N	Mean	Q3	Maximum

Survives	204	1	1	28
Does not survive	51	2	1	58

Examples from the Current Data

Examples are descriptive checks on the calculated feature. Their outcome labels report what Pausanias says; they do not establish that the feature caused survival or abandonment.

🌍 Syracuse (Sicily)	`11295783`	22	Survives
🌍 Olympia (Elis)	`9605463`	16	Survives
🌍 Argos (city)	`8228853`	12	Survives
🌍 Opous (Locris)	`8253989`	12	Survives

Examples with low recorded values

🌍 Abai (Phocis)	`10274687`	Survives
🌍 Abia (Messenia)	`10113505`	Survives
🌍 Acacesion (Arcadia)	`10126185`	Survives
🌍 Ace (Arcadia)	`10214517`	Survives

Interpretation in the Predictive Model

Its current standardized coefficient is +0.213, pointing toward survives. This means that a one-standard-deviation increase changes the fitted log odds in that direction while the other included features are held fixed.

Because the connectedness features are correlated and the model's out-of-fold performance is weak, this is a conditional association—not a standalone ranking, causal effect, or historical explanation.

Data Scope

The feature is calculated from MANTO release 19446255 using evidence dated strictly before Pausanias.
The current labelled cohort contains 255 distinct MANTO places.
The prediction target is whether Pausanias reports a place as surviving or not surviving, not its modern archaeological condition.
Feature values and examples may change when MANTO releases, links, labels, or feature definitions are revised.
