The drawing is a simplified rendition of a scale-free network, which Wikipedia defines this way:

Scale-free networks' structure and dynamics are independent of the system's size N, the number of nodes the system has. In other words, a network that is scale-free will have the same properties no matter what the number of its nodes is.
