Network‐based concepts enter naturally in TCT, which treats a glass‐forming system as an atomic network where atoms constitute the nodes (or vertices) and atomic interactions (i.e. chemical bonds) constitute the edges (or linkages) of the network. The properties of an atomic network depend both on its chemistry (how atoms of different species are placed on its nodes) and on its topology (how various nodes are interconnected without regard for the nature of atoms).
