Figure 2

Left: schematization of a node, a link and viem of the layer 1 of the resistor network. Each link can assume one of a discrete number of conductance values (namely, in this work, \(\sigma _{\alpha }=10^{-11} \frac{1}{\Omega }\), \(\sigma _{\beta }=10^{-3} \frac{1}{\Omega }\), \(\sigma _{\gamma }=2 \times 10^{-3} \frac{1}{\Omega }\) and \(\sigma _{\delta }=4 \times 10^{-3} \frac{1}{\Omega }\)). In the picture, links with \(\sigma _{ij}=\sigma _{\alpha }, \sigma _{\beta }, \sigma _{\gamma }, \sigma _{\delta }\) are respectively white, orange, blue and purple. Right: 3D view of the full network, where only edges with \(\sigma _{ij}=\sigma _{\gamma }\) are colored. \(N_x, N_y, N_z\) correspond to the number of nodes along each network direction. Picture realized with NetworkX44.
