Building blocks of the ziggurat plot. Blue boxes represent nodes of guild and red boxes nodes of guild . The innermost core of this network is 4-shell, and node blocks are aligned with the parallel axis. ziggurats of 3-shell and 2-shell are built stacking nodes ordered by decreasing . Solid grey links are ties amongst nodes of 4-shell, the dotted grey link is an example of connection between two species of the same -shell, and green links connect nodes of different .
