mpn_senate combines the two community networks of the 112th Congress into
one multilevel network of 93 senators, 78 political action committees (PACs),
and 25 key bills.
The mode node attribute separates the three sets of nodes.
mpn_senate_dem and mpn_senate_rep are not party networks.
The source files are named Fig8.1_SxPV_CommA, Fig8.2_SxPV_CommB, and
Fig8.3_SxPV_Overlap, so they record two communities of one network and
their intersection.
The community node attribute holds "A", "B", or "both".
The 20 senators and 32 PACs and bills marked "both" reproduce mpn_senate_over.

Cells that neither community covers were never observed. They are recorded as missing rather than as absent ties, so the object holds 2542 missing dyads.
The two communities overlap in 640 cells and disagree in 9 of them.
Community A governs those cells:
it agrees with Fig8.3_SxPV_Overlap in all 640, where community B differs in 9.
