#network graphs

movement path generation: urban scenario definition, tree-search structure based on established network connectivities, displaying values for relevant parameters (e.g., proximity, landmark, heritage, etc.), decision-making differs with each path increment with respect to defined scenario and path parameter

·Neil lives for graph theory

·It's his 3rd favourite thing ever after the obvious

·Because essentially it's just dots and lines that he can just??? Make stories out of???

·Literally making points and drawing lines and making a sort of story out of this

·It's his wet dream

·He got into it when he was on the run because he had to remember who was who and who did what with whom for this dude and all

·So when he got to high school and did advanced maths and the elective was matrices and graph theory?

·You know he went ballistic

·At first it was just something interesting that filled the hole exy left behind

·And it was useful for calculating the shortest path to places excluding main roads when he had to collect stuff from his connections

·Until his teacher mentioned how complex the matrix for game of thrones would have been when A Feast for Crows came out in Neil's final year

·He's never read the books before but he bets it can't beat the yakuza

·So he starts with his first graph

·It's really simple at first when he just does Nathan's people and the Moriyama's

·Then he starts adding his mom's family

·And the runners

·And the people they they bought in the police

·And Easthaven

·And everything else

·It's colour coded and looks so pretty that he puts it in his binder

·Post-Baltimore when he explains his ties to the mafia he shows the foxes his graph

·Matt: You've read A Song of Ice and Fire?

·Neil: What the f*ck is that

·Nicky: You mean that's maths? Where are the numbers and plus signs?

·Kevin: No this is the mafia

·Allison: This is Neil?

·Dan: *struggling to understand how the rest are in college*

·Andrew: *secretly revelling in the chaos*

·Aaron: Is tired

·Anyway

·Neil gets a phd in graph theory

·Sometime during his pro career he stars watching Game of Thrones

·And he finally makes that graph

·And frames it next to his first one

·They have tiny plaques underneath that read before and after

·Because the first graph was for survival
