Well, I hoped my disclaimer re: not being a math genius would exempt me from questions like this, but anyway... I think that the subtraction of N and then one somehow deals with the fact that, leaving metaphysics aside for the moment, one cannot connect with oneself in a network... But more detailed explanations will have to come courtesy of professor Google who gave me the following answers: http://arnoldkling.com/~arnoldsk/aimst3/aimst304.html which explains it; http://www.intranetjournal.com/articles/200101/ib_01_31_01a.html which thoroughly discusses it and; http://www.contextmag.com/setFrameRedirect.asp?src=/archives/199903/Digi talStrategy.asp which is David Reed's own thoughts on the subject.
