To get clearer, we will investigate interpersonal network in a group consists of 4
4!
members (figure 2). From the figure, the possible relations are -^^ = 6 relations (table
2). If the types of sentiment relation are 3 i.e. like (+), negative (-) and no-relation (0),
then the possible numbers of sentiment relations from the group are equal to 36 or 729
relation patterns.

Meanwhile, the number of possible combinations of agents that form triad for that
group of four is equal to
4!
(4 - 3)!3!
= 4, with the possibility of individual combination as
seen in table 3.
An adjacency matrix of N x N (for example: table 4), is used to draw pattern of
relation (edges) formed between connected individuals (vertices), where Rij = Rji is
interconnectivity sign of i-individuals over j-individuals and vice versa, that can be
positive, negative, or no-relation, signed with +1 for positive relation, -1 for negative
