<P> Degree of branching refers to the number of direct subordinates or children an object has ( in graph theory , equivalent to the number of other vertices connected to via outgoing arcs , in a directed graph ) a node has ) . Hierarchies can be categorized based on the `` maximum degree '' , the highest degree present in the system as a whole . Categorization in this way yields two broad classes : linear and branching . </P>
