Picture the battlefield as a living network, each squad a tiny organism and their routes the rivers that crisscross it. You’d map the camps as nodes, the marching paths as edges, and give each edge a weight that reflects how clear the line of sight is. Then treat the troop density on each edge as a flow that changes over time—like a pond’s current that swells when a new wave arrives. By feeding the position data into a time‑series graph, you can watch the adjacency matrix shift and see the eigenvalues dance whenever the tide of the battle turns. The model turns the chaos into an ecosystem that still carries the rhythm of strategy.
