"""Network-based cell space using arbitrary connection patterns.
Creates spaces where cells connect based on network relationships rather than
spatial proximity. Built on NetworkX graphs, this enables:
- Arbitrary connectivity patterns between cells
- Graph-based neighborhood definitions
- Logical rather than physical distances
- Dynamic connectivity changes
- Integration with NetworkX's graph algorithms
Useful for modeling systems like social networks, transportation systems,
or any environment where connectivity matters more than physical location.
