I may (actually) read the paper "Hierarchical structure and the prediction of missing links in networks" at http://www-personal.umich.edu/~mejn/papers/cmn08.pdf
I am not sure about what they are getting at, but an idealized model of the hierarchal structure might be useful. There are probably more than one idealized structural models for a complicated network. These models might be used in AGI for reason-derived what-if kinds of conjectures.
