An additional benefit of redundancy is the possibility of spotting outliers and improving the overall estimates with thermodynamic cycles. The Twin Star Network follows the design principle of building up a significant number of cycles by generating a special form of the Star Network. In the Konnektor implementation, the two nodes that perform best in average over all edges and edge weights are used as centers, building up the number of cycles of size three as N c(3) = n-2 , leading to N e <= N c * (N n -1), withN c : minimal node cycle number.
