Is this supposed to be academic work? The documentation is pretty messy, questions are unclear (the FAQ honestly does not look like anyone would ask those questions frequently), and even though I spent a while I could not find any explanation/justification what this is for, or why it is useful for what it claims to be doing (first, the nodes are atoms, next - though same algorithm - the nodes are microbes). Looks pretty, the meaning however is currently elusive.
