AbstractHow do networks of social relationships evolve over time? This study addresses the lack of longitudinal analyses of social networks grounded in mathematical modelling. We analyse a dataset tracking the social interactions of 900 individuals over four years. Despite shifts in individual relationships, the macroscopic structure of the network remains stable, fluctuating within predictable bounds. We link this stability to the concept of equilibrium in statistical physics.
