Metcalfe's Law is a principle that states the value of a network is proportional to the square of the number of connected users or nodes in the system. In simpler terms, as more participants join a network, the overall value and utility of that network increase exponentially. The law is often expressed mathematically as: \\\[ V \\propto n^2 \\\] where \\( V \\) is the value of the network and \\( n \\) is the number of users or nodes.
