Six Degrees of Separation match the ZhouYI or i-ching (六度分隔與六爻之變)
六度分隔—理論
小世界現象（又稱小世界效應）假設世界上所有互不相識的人只需要很少中間人就能建立起聯繫。六度分隔理論（Six Degrees of Separation）後來1967年哈佛大學的心理學教授斯坦利·米爾格拉姆（Stanley Milgram，1933年—1984年）根據這概念做過一次連鎖信實驗，嘗試證明平均只需六個人就可以聯繫任何兩個互不相識的美國人。
可是，超過三十年來這個理論所謂的人際連繫網（例如上述的「世界上所有人」）仍然有所爭議。從論文發表至今有關這方面的研究很少。不過，在應用層面方面卻很多，特別是保險及傳銷業的從業員。現時在香港，一般保險經紀在完成交易之後，都會要求客戶提供一個至少五人的新名單。另外，早在1980年代初期，《讀者文摘》就已利用這理論，鼓勵訂戶向公司推薦其他潛在訂戶。
Theory of Six degrees of separation
Six degrees of separation (also referred to as the "Human Web") refers to the idea that, if a person is one step away from each person they know and two steps away from each person who is known by one of the people they know, then everyone is at most six steps away from any other person on Earth. It was popularized by a play written by John Guare.

Another source I found from internet look interested list as follows:
/Six Degrees of Separation
This was a small project that turned out to be more interesting than I thought it would. I picked six random 'things' and connected them to another six and then another six until it was a total of thirty-six. They all somehow connected in some way, and in the center I explain how they are connected.

Six Degrees of Separation match the ZhouYi or i-ching
As simple words, every peoples in the world had their network, every networks have their links to others networks but it cannot links up all, but we can use maximum 6 "steps" you can "almost" get though the whole networks.
That is match our Zhouyi (i-ching) 's teacher Mr.So taught us about the structure of the hexagrams system.
The hexagrams
At the Zhou Yi world, the system is represent to "Nature" that is as same as the "whole world" concept of "Six Degrees of Separation" . Zhou Yi system is talking about 3 main elements "change", "simple" & "rule". We got the "rule" of the development trend (change) that we just control the "simple" (the basic of the keys elements) that we can understand the whole picture of the "Nature". The keys point of the "basic" of Zhou Yi is "Yang & Yin".
The "Yang & Yin" symbol stacked 6 times became a hexagram symbol called Guo. That is a special "sign" to represent of somethings, that is match the "small world" concept of Six Degrees of Separation.
If fact, MSN & Facebook connected most of the peoples in internet that is easy to meet someone. We are easy to discover the Six Degrees of Separation , if we also can combine a chinese ancient wisdom that we can more understanding about Zhou Yi (i-ching) and more about the "Nature".
