A look at some key codes.
I am going to use only association depth to a first approximation. In this corpus, association depth and breadth are exceptionally well correlated. Their (Pearson) correlation coefficient is 0.96, statistically significant with, to all practicall purposes, certainty.
Concept of circular economy. At b >= 7, it connects to the hub that is Sustainability, and to Modification, Perception of recycling and Resources.
To get a bit more granularity, I visualized the graph for b >= 4 (126 codes, 442 edges). Here more “political” codes appear.

Sustainability
Sustainable behaviour. This code is already a hub at b >= 7. It is a senter of a cluster that connects to the rest of the graph via sustainability, indifference and Electronic in cars.

agency. At b>= 7, this code in in the same general cluster as sustainable behaviour and sustainablity, and direcly connected to both. Other direct neighbours at this (high) level of b are Being independent, consciousness and responsibility.
If I lower my threshold for b to 5 or 4 only one more code appears as a direct neighbor, self-reflection. Going down to b >= 3 (154 codes, 721 edges), I get a few more, but they don’t seem very illuminating:

Feeling of external control. At b >= 7, this code is present but only connected to Data share. This is also true if I lower the threshold to 5. At b >= 4 a second edge appears, to conditionality. At b >= 3 there are two more: to Global Surveillance and Critical about information/Knowledge dissemination.
Perception of recycling. This is another hub, even at b >= 7. It connects to the rest of the graph via Sustainability, Concept of circular economy, and Conditionality.
Its direct neighbours are:

Concept of Circular Economy
Conditionality
Effort to recycle
Junk
Knowledge of transportation of useless electronics
Materiality

Lowering my threshold to 5 only adds a few codes: Automotive politics, Replacement, Resources needed to recycle.
Modularity
I also ran some modularity analysis. The stacked graph is not very modular, but not quite random either (Q = 0.37, using b as a measure of edge strength. The results do not change significantly using d). The reduced graph for b >= 7, however, is much more modular, and you can even see the modularity just by looking at it: Q = 0.72. Below, I have colored nodes by the community they belong to (in network slang, by their class in the maximal modularity partition). The result is visualized below:
Here’s a list of the codes in each of the six communities. They are listed in alphabetical order: the star * indicates the highest-connected code in that community.
