Adjective to describe object that has connections between its elements [closed]

Example: a social network is [...] as users are connected by their friendships.

I could think of a social network is connected but it sounds like the social networks connect to each other.

Solution 1:

How about contextualized?

Definition＊ of contexture:

1: the act, process, or manner of weaving parts into a whole also : a structure so formed

// a contexture of lies

2: CONTEXT

Definition† of context:

1: the parts of a discourse that surround a word or passage and can throw light on its meaning

2: the interrelated conditions in which something exists or occurs : ENVIRONMENT, SETTING

// the historical context of the war

which brings to mind one of my favorite of all quotes, by anyone, this one happening to be from Marcus Aurelius' Meditations:

Constantly regard the universe as one living being, having one substance and one soul; and observe how all things have reference to one perception, the perception of this one living being; and how all things act with one movement; and how all things are the cooperating causes of all things which exist; observe too the continuous spinning of the thread and the contexture of the web.

(emphasis added by me)

Marcus Aurelius IV, 40 - Meditations (c. 161–180 CE) - Book IV

Uncanny almost - the implied prophesy of the Internet, some 1800 years ahead of his time....

And as for my own example of use of the word as it relates to the context of your question, how about:

A social network is a contextualized, 21st century modern digital labyrinth of often implausibly numerous connections of its users "friendships" - each one individual's having further degrees of interconnectedness, ad infinitum. Thus, it is as though it exists as a single contexture — "The Social Network" — one could surely say; deserving of its definite article more so in infamy than by any remaining universal awe and acceptance, in recent times.
