The number of dots varies according to the amount of books in each program. Each program carries a charge. These charges vary from degree 1 to 10. Positive charge attracts as in a less fluid space. For example, A space where books are being read means these books stay in that space for a longer time. Therefore, it will carry a high positive charge whereas negative charge repels as in a fluid space. For example, the staff area is used to distribute books. Books flow through the area rapidly. The staff area will carry a high negative charge.

After running the diagnosis, a central axis could be defined as well as nodes and pockets that connect these nodes. Because the radius of the curve is depended on the degree of the charge, the sizes of these pockets correspond to the speed of the book flow. The shortest line (dotted) between two nodes indicates the direction of the book flow.
