+ e.g., A-B-C in A-B-C-D with A-B-C in F-A-C-E-B. As explored in [our npj Unconventional Computing article](https://doi.org/10.1038/s44335-024-00012-2), such combined representations, allowing for even different dimensionalities of joined spaces, can can then be used to efficeintly encode complex problem spaces where some prior assumptions and knowledge are available. In the Example #2 from our article, inspired by problem of joining titanium with stainless steel in [10.1016/j.addma.2022.102649](https://doi.org/10.1016/j.addma.2022.102649), using 3-component spaces, one can encode 3 separate paths where some components are shared in predetermined fashion. This efficiently encodes the problem space in form of a single simplex graph complex (right panel below) with a single consistent structure, that can be directly used for pathfinding and other graph algorithms just like any other graph.
