A relational law of city networks, network biconnectivity, trade, and the Q-dynamics of historical city size distributions

This will be an informal researcher discussion of results and theory for historical scaling laws and dynamics in the period of economic markets, 900 CE to the present, focusing on the 73 largest cities in 23 time periods for Eurasian trade. It is also a broader follow-up to the ppt presentation from the Friday symposium.
