Network position determines resource access/productivity. Centrality advantage through strategic complementarities vs threshold-based redistribution in kinship networks.
An agent's position in a collaboration network determines their productivity. Higher network centrality increases output through strategic complementarities with connected agents. Activity in one domain (scientific) enhances productivity in another domain (technological), but this effect is asymmetric - the reverse direction shows no detectable influence.

Redistribution creates feedback between kinship network structure and reproduction ability. This enables population survival at lower resource densities but increases network heterogeneity and local centralization.
