# Slot: graph_representation 


_Representation used to evaluate coupling over this network's connectivity (``auto`` | ``dense`` | ``sparse``). ``auto`` lets the backend choose by connection density. This names whether to exploit edge sparsity, not a concrete data structure, so it is backend-independent; the delayed-vs-instantaneous graph kind is decided separately from the couplings' conduction delays._
