Trace the cut before you call it self-defeating.
A hypothetical collaboration graph makes the network mechanism inspectable. Declare nodes, edges, and a blocked partner, then compare what stays connected. No current policy or legal conclusion is inferred.
Before and after
Load the sample and run the graph cut.
Baseline routes
Every declared edge remains.
Restricted routes
Removed edges are coral; disconnected nodes remain visible.
Removed direct edges
This list separates direct edge loss from full network fragmentation. Alternate routes can preserve a component.
How to interpret it
Components and reachable pairs are graph facts about the inputs you supplied. They are not a forecast of research output, a legal determination, or evidence that a quoted policy is current.
Source boundary
The source contains a commentary and a quoted claim, not a verified regulation or complete network. This tool intentionally uses synthetic names and makes the restriction explicit.
