One example of the application of Relation Proximity is the Cecil Number and the Cecilweb project which attempts to show that every person who lived under King James I of England, and was armigerous (had a coat-of-arms), was related to Richard Cecil with a proximity degree no greater than ten.  That is, you can step from any person, to Richard Cecil, in ten steps or less using only the relationships: "Parent of", "Child of", "Spouse of", and "Sibling of".
