Numerous criteria are in place for social network applications. They require identification of network's core nodes. Traditional centrality measurements focus on specific node's direct connections or reachability. Often this disregards inherent ambiguity and complexity in real-world social networks. To address these constraints, we have introduced new method called Node Pack Fuzzy Information Centrality based on Pythagorean Neutrosophic Fuzzy Theory. Three essential values truth, falsity and indeterminacy have been added to this approach. This new approach provides a thorough depiction of social networks and it also offers a more sophisticated comprehension of connections between nodes. Complex and ambiguous interactions between entities can be effectively expressed using Pythagorean Neutrosophic values. Unlike traditional values, Pythagorean Neutrosophic values consider several uncertainty dimensions; this is a major improvement over traditional fuzzy value. Our approach handles relational complexity well and it includes self-weight for every node too. It represents each node's unique value, significance, or impact on the network. The network assessment is now more precise and contextual so we can assess centrality with greater precision. We applied this approach to a small academic network called university facultyresearchers. The application of Node Pack Fuzzy Information Centrality yielded promising results. It can enhance various activities associated with social network analysis. It can also offer valuable insights into the network architecture.
