Cover Story: The dynamics and equilibrium properties of classical particle systems are determined by the forces between particles. For forces mediated by an interaction potential (in this case a Lennard-Jones potential), we construct a dynamic network from the system. Particles are represented as nodes and binary undirected links define a two-level approximation of the potential, one value within an interaction range where links are active and one outside where they are not. In thermodynamic equilibrium, this approximation connects the physical properties of the particle system to the topological properties of the network representation through the partition function of the approximated potential and allows for further characterisation of the system.
