Description:
The colored dots on the
diagrams on the left represent network nodes and the lines the links
between them. The horizontal lines on the graphs on the right represent
energy levels of atoms in a gas. The number of links between nodes
at various stages of network maturity corresponds to the number of
atoms at specific energy levels in a gas at different temperatures.
The top gas diagram shows the gas beginning to condense, and the bottom
diagram a condensed gas. |
