Abstrakt:	The techniques developed in this paper suggest an objective standard for the process that refines the generation of interaction semigroups associated with social networks. A constructed interaction semigroup S is assessed with respect to measurements used in the original construction. This information, summarized in the pair (m1, m2)(S) associated with the semigroup S, is a comparison of the closeness of the elements of the same class as compared to the closeness of the elements from distinct classes of S. It is desirable to have more separation between the elements from distinct classes and more "closeness" between the elements within a class. We use this idea to produce a separated interaction semigroup with more separation between distinct classes. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
