Random Graphs in Time and 2D Space

summary: 

Random graphs in a plane can be relevant for where to place cell phone towers, so this topic is studied commercially.

description: 

There are 6000 nodes used in this animation. How many survived by being close enough to another node is not known.

command: 
q_graph -dir networks -out random_3d_6000_y -box 1.2 -command generate_random_network -nodes 6000 -fix_y -1
math
equation: 

Link nodes if dt < 0.05 and |dx|+|dz| < 0.15, y = -1
