A network of correlated physics terms was created in the following way by the master-adapted-subtopic-tree-generation project:
The correlation network tree_cor was created by connecting all terms from the dataset-of-1038-physic-terms that are neighboring leafs in one of the six subtopic trees [subd, fr_as_ex, fr_as_rsb_15, fr_as_rsb_16, fr_as_sb_10, fr_as_sb_15] of the subtopic-tree-comparison.
The graph has ==10061 edges== an ==average degree of 19.39== a maximal degree of 39 and a minimal degree of 3. It forms one connected unit and has an ==average path length== between two randomly selected terms of ==3.18==.
Using this graph as a foundation the tree_cor_mi network was created by asking gpt-3.5-turbo for the 5 strongest connections per term. Therefore the selection of connections to choose from was expanded to include some random connections where necessary.
This graph has ==3234 edges== an ==average degree of 6.23== a maximal degree of 15 and a minimal degree of 1. It forms one connected unit and has an ==average path length== between two randomly selected terms of ==4.95==.
The minimal degree of 1 is a result of multiple errors in the answers of gpt-3.5-turbo. To correct this an other graph tree_cor_mi_man was created by adding a small number of connections manually.
The resulting graph has ==3247 edges== an ==average degree of 6.26== a maximal degree of 15 and a minimal degree of 5. It forms one connected unit and has an ==average path length== between two randomly selected terms of ==4.94==.
The five most connected terms within this graph are:

Quark |

Ferromagnetism |
14 |
Internal energy |
13 |
Volume (thermodynamics) |
