A static force-directed graph layout renders 100 nodes connected in a ring-like pattern, with each node linking to the node three positions ahead. The visualization uses D3 v3’s `d3.layout.force` to simulate the physics, but instead of animating each tick, it runs a fixed number of `force.tick()` steps with manual cooling control via `force.alpha()`. After the simulation completes, the SVG elements—circles and lines—are drawn once at their final positions. The code also displays a temporary loading message while computing the layout.
