Likelihood of Borromean component formation in randomly linked ring networks

Determine the probability with which Borromean components form in networks of randomly linked rings, quantifying how often such three-body links arise in disordered ring systems.

Background

Previous lattice-based studies established percolation behavior in idealized Borromean networks, but they do not directly address the stochastic formation rates of Borromean triplets in disordered, off-lattice ring systems.

The computational challenge of evaluating triple link invariants and the combinatorial growth of triplet checks complicate direct estimation of formation probabilities in random ring networks.

References

Our previous work exploited the regularity of the square lattice to study Borromean percolation, but or networks of randomly linked rings it is not known how likely the formation of Borromean components is, nor is it known whether Borromean networks can randomly form in the presence of regularly-linked networks.
