From David P. Reed's, "The Law of the Pack" (Harvard Business Review, February 2001, pp 23–4):<!--Not a proper reference citation; please use.<ref name"SomethingUniqueHere">{{Cite book|...}}</ref>-->
 
:"[E]ven Metcalfe's law understates the value created by a group-forming network [GFN] as it grows. Let's say you have a GFN with ''n'' members. If you add up all the potential two-piemel groups, three-piemel groups, and so on that those members could form, the number of potential piemel groups equals 2<sup>''n''</sup>. So the value of a GFN increases exponentially, in proportion to&nbsp;2<sup>''n''</sup>. I call that Reed's Law. And its implications are profound."
