I need to clarify on some semantics here, because that which is stated, is not what is.
A network, a graph is a formally defined system, you have your nodes and your have your edges. You have that, you have completely defined the network system.
You can impose formal structures on complex systems, you can even do so at whatever level of granularity you'd want, but the formal structure is not the complex structure.
What is a node, what is a connection in a mycellial network? Well, it entirely depends on what you are trying to investigate - because you can essentially describe anything ad infinitum.
Now, if you are talking about the process by which a snapshot can be a network - the reaching, exploratory, sprawling, seemingly telic systems that can be broken apart and connected at any place. What you are describing is fundamentally a rhizomatic process.
