1. A method of delivering a dynamic, process-based learning experience for users in a network environment, comprising the steps of:

  • defining such a structured network environment having multiple nodes wherein the nodes each have a vector of dynamic attributes;

    identifying relative positions for multiple nodes within the structured network environment based on a comparison of attributes associated with each of the multiple nodes, wherein the attributes are interests of, or activities participated in by, the multiple nodes, and measuring a distance between the multiple nodes based on a degree of similarity between the dynamic attributes of the multiple nodes and not based on a connected or not state;

    clustering the multiple nodes based on the identified relative positions of the multiple nodes and allowing at least some of the multiple nodes to discover others of the multiple nodes;

    synchronizing an activity of the multiple nodes based on the relative positions and the degree of similarity between the dynamic attributes of the multiple nodes, wherein the identification of the relative positions and the synchronization are performed without reference to the actual time;

    managing state transitions between the multiple nodes based on information received from another of the multiple nodes indicating a change in a dynamic attribute of the node; and

    serving content or information to the clustered multiple nodes based on the positions and on managed state transitions between the multiple nodes.
