Mechanisms¶
- Least-Resistance Path Simulation
- The current-flow variant, borrowed from circuit theory, adds a crucial insight — connectivity depends not on the single best path but on how many low-resistance routes run in parallel, so a corridor with one pinch is fragile even if it is shortest.
This sourceIntroduces circuit-theoretic connectivity measures that integrate parallel pathways and reveal redundancy and pinch points missed by a single least-cost path.

Verification¶
Does it exist? Confirmed. This work's DOI resolves to a registered record, which fixes its identity. That is all it fixes.
Does it back the claim? Not recorded. The single citation of this work carries no recorded support check.
Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
