# Process architecture
## MicroSim spec
- **Recommended sim type:** network graph
- **Microsimmability score:** 64/100
- **Layout:** [[Force|force]]-directed node-link graph on the canvas; sliders below.
### Parameters (tunable controls)
- `Number of nodes`
- `Connection probability`
- `Edge weight`
### What animates
Nodes and links arrange by a force layout; connectivity, clustering, and flow update live as edges are added or removed.
### Learning objective
Relate connection [[Structure|structure]] to how [[Information|information]] or flow spreads across the network.

## Concept summary
Process architecture is the structural design of general process systems.
## Build checklist
- [ ] Claim it: set `status: in-progress` + `lease` + `leased_at`
- [ ] Write the child page explaining the concept (tie it back to system)
- [ ] Finalize parameter ranges and defaults
- [ ] Implement the p5.js sketch (drawing + control regions)
- [ ] Add caption + the learning objective on the page
- [ ] Set `status: done`
## p5.js sketch
```javascript
// MicroSim: Process architecture
let controls = {};
function setup() {
// createCanvas(...); create sliders for the parameters above.
}
function draw() {
// background(...); read controls; render network graph; respond live.
}
```
