RecallWeave · original graph course
Minimum spanning forests,
one edge at a time.
Choose the cheapest cycle-free connections that span every original connected component. Follow Kruskal’s choices, keep isolated vertices visible, and see why some links must be rejected.
A minimum spanning tree minimizes the total chosen edge weight. It does not generally preserve every shortest route. If the input is disconnected, the result is a forest.

Lines crossing in the picture do not create vertices. Exact weights and states are also in the edge table.
For more than 12 edges, labels move to the table to keep the drawing readable.

Accepted components now
An acceptance merges exactly two components. A rejection changes neither the forest nor its total.
Every input edge, in decision order
| Order | Input identity · edge | Weight | Current state |
|---|
No edges were entered. Each vertex is still represented.
Decisions already applied
No edge decisions yet.
| Decision | Edge | Weight | Reason | Components afterward | Total |

This teaching trace decides every edge, including later cycle rejections. Its count excludes sorting comparisons, component lookups, validation and rendering.
