With passing time, Erdős–Bacon values throughout the world will grow in amount. E.g., as each generation continues and the past dies out there is a necessary increase.

But will the overall number of defined Erdős–Bacon numbers increase or decrease over time?

I propose a mathematical study.
Needed information includes actor and movie trends over time, compensating for future technological developments and social changes.

When the number of actors and papers is large enough, there is no doubt it would grow without limit. But is it's current size stable enough to survive?

I don't think there's any comprehensive list of everyone with a defined number anyway. Good luck.
