Abstract

People in a society in some context lend an ear to their respective world members and so form a network of listening that is passively embedded in the society. This paper defines a model of listening that explains spread of a message creating listen pathways to reach people in the network. A metric listen weight, measures the message relevance perceived by a listener. And accumulation of this weight to a message while traversing a network projects the emergent relevance and intensity of the message spread. We propose a method to engineer listening process to make a society inclusive of listening.
