Fig. 2

Schematic representation of two snapshots of our model with N=4 agents and L=2 locations. The entire space is delimited with solid black lines. In a and c, we illustrate the agents’ motion and the border of the locations is represented with dashed black lines. Agents 1 and 2 are assigned to location A:=β(1)=β(2), while agents 3 and 4 are assigned to location B:=β(3)=β(4). Direction and modulus of the agents’ velocity is drawn with solid red arrows. The position where agent 1 will jump is indicated with a dotted red arrow. The four arrows around an agent indicate that it will move in a random position inside its own location. In b and d, we show the temporal network formation mechanism. Agents’ radii of interaction are represented with solid circles, and undirected links are represented with solid blue lines
