You can act on two variables for each of the nodes: Their protection (beta) or their quickness to clear an infection (mu). Improving both parameters for a node reduces the risk of infection for…

Nice parallel I like how the concept of molecules excitement and temperatures is used for this algorithm. All in all, it’s a bit…
