Research work:
More algorithms have been tested regarding our public key to swarm id assignment. By changing the swarm id algorithm from using a uniform random number generator to a specific predetermined sequence that maximises uniformity, the Euclidean distance calculations now provides mapping with much better uniformity, while only affecting neighbours when a swarm is added or removed.
