Scene Graph

- DRAFT in progress -

*Insert image of topo tree with links (both directed and not).

The Native Scene Graph is a collection of topological trees with LINKS. Our topologies are similar to joint based COLLADA Kinematics (ch 10) using a parent child link. The tree structure is NOT constrained to a traditonal tree graph and instead allows creating closed loops using a link. Our topologies are similar to various joints that rotate and slide. You can 'limit' specific axes movements to create a variety of kinematic systems.

We use a table of nodes, edges and links. Effectively the links are edges that are not part of the tree structure, and do not effect the tree in the same manor. Hence, links may be drawn between a pair of nodes belonging to the same tree which causes a closed loop. You may also link nodes from two seperate trees.

Our Native Scene Graph is a multi-dimensional visualization based on topologies governed by a Neural Physics Engine (NPE).
