This example visualizes a network of nodes and links using D3.js’s `d3.forceSimulation` with charge and link forces, rendered as a static SVG. The layout is derived from a small, hard-coded dataset of six nodes and five edges, with node positions and link paths updated each simulation tick. It demonstrates a basic force-directed graph without interactivity, showing how the simulation settles into a stable configuration. The code relies on D3 v3’s selection methods and force API, with no external data loading or additional rendering libraries.
