Abstract
We investigate how knowledge percolates and clusters in a given knowledge space. We introduce a simple model of knowledge organization in which each contribution spans a certain number of items. If this contribution overlaps with others above a certain threshold, they form a cluster. A contribution can also merge clusters together. We study the growth of global knowledge and the cluster dynamics, both showing a nontrivial behavior.
