The calculation for the number of segments fails (likely resulting in <code>NaN<\/code> or a negative number which becomes an invalid array length).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This was occurring in the Hypergraph visualization because network nodes (like local IP addresses in a private network scan) were defaulting to the same geographical location, causing multiple nodes to pile up at the exact same coordinates. When the visualizer tried to draw edges between these overlapping nodes, the distance was zero.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I have fixed this in command-ops-visualization.html by adding a distance check. If the distance between nodes (or between a node and the hyperedge center) is less than 5 meters, it now switches the <code>arcType<\/code> from <code>Cesium.ArcType.GEODESIC<\/code> to <code>Cesium.ArcType.NONE<\/code>. This draws a direct straight line (which works fine for zero length) instead of trying to calculate a geodesic path on the globe&#8217;s surface.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Fix Applied:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In command-ops-visualization.html, I modified the <code>addHyperedge<\/code> function:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>For Pairwise Edges (Cardinality 2):<\/strong><br>Added a check effectively saying &#8220;If points are closer than 5 meters, don&#8217;t use GEODESIC arcs&#8221;. <code>\/\/ Check distance to avoid zero-length arc errors const dist = Cesium.Cartesian3.distance(positions[0], positions[1]); const safeArcType = dist &lt; 5.0 ?

<strong>real<\/strong> value is the provenance trail: <em>how<\/em> you detected\/classified (algo versions + evidence pointers) so the hypergraph stays explainable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr

PCAP ingest already constructs host + flow nodes and attaches them to the session via edges like <code>SESSION_OBSERVED_HOST<\/code> and <code>SESSION_OBSERVED_FLOW<\/code> , so this layering is a
