For some reason W-Space systems are also grouped in Regions. This might have an effect on which systems connect with which. The more a read about wormholes the more interesting it gets 🙂
]]>To keep it simple i used the following assumptions
– there are 2500 W-space systems
– W-space systems are numbered 1 to 2500
– every W-space connection from thera has an equal chance of appearing
I run the simulation 1000 times and count how many wormholes i get to explore
before the first duplicate. This is equal to drawing random numbers between 1 and 2500 until i get a number i already had.
import random
experimentmax = 1000
iterationmax = 1000
random.seed()
results = []
for exp in range(1,experimentmax):
wh_explored = []
for iteration in range(1,iterationmax):
wh_new = int(random.random()*2500)+1
if wh_explored.count(wh_new) > 0:
print iteration
results.append(iteration)
break
else:
wh_explored.append(wh_new)
print “average = “, sum(results)/float(len(results))
]]>looking at your observation of finding a duplicate wormhole from theta after exploring only 17 systems i wrote this small program to check what would be the chance if it was truly random.
I simulated 1000 people doing this experiment.
exploring 1000 random systems and seeing after how many tries they get their first duplicate.
The average seems to be that after around 62 tries you get your first duplicate.
number of people encountering a duplicate within the first 30: 151 (15.1%)
number of people encountering a duplicate within the first 20: 69 (6.9 %)
number of people encountering a duplicate within the first 10: 12 (1.2 %)
So i guess you just got your first duplicate very early
This is a fun experiment 🙂

That kind of sets the WH systems by class and their overall position according to known K-space. Now, you might connect that map with some data about the wh connections between systems with an approximate distance in light years. You’ll need a lot of statistical data for this though. And there maybe you can find that pattern, you’re looking for.
