Consider an abstract liquid trading (ALT) system as a weighted directed graph $G:=(V, E, w),$ where set of vertices $V,|V| \leq|\mathbb{N}|$ contains digital representation of all tradeable assets in $G,$ set of edges $E=\{e \in V \times V:$ $w(e)>0\}$ represents all possible atomic $^{79}$ asymmetric $^{80}$ trades, which are weighted by the function $w: E \rightarrow \mathbb{R}^{+}$ corresponding to the price of some trade $e \in E$
### Liquidity Point/Vertex
$$
\text { Any liquid vertex } v \in V \text { has both } d e g^{-}(v) \geq 1 \text { and } \operatorname{deg}^{+}(v) \geq 1
$$
### Liquidity Indifference Preference Paths$^{2}$
$$C_{B}(v):=\sum_{s \neq t \neq v \in V} \frac{\sigma_{s t}(v)}{\sigma_{s t}}: \forall(s, t) \in S, \text { where } \sigma_{s t}:=\sum_{(s, t) \in S} \sum_{e \in(s, t)} w(e)$$
Vertex $v \in V$ represents half-liquid asset when either $\operatorname{deg}^{-}(v)=0$ (source) $\operatorname{or} \operatorname{deg}^{+}(v)=0(\operatorname{sink}),$ where $\operatorname{deg}^{(-1+)}: V \rightarrow \mathbb{N}$ is respectively a number
of tail ends (indegree) and a number of head ends (outdegree) from vertices adjacent to $v$.
## Liquidity Preference Path
Let $S \subset V \times V$ contain all shortest paths from vertex $s$ to vertex $t: \forall s, t \in V$ Also let vertex $v \in V$ have the maximal $^{82}$ betweenness centrality measure $C_{B}(v):=\sum_{s \neq t \neq v \in V} \frac{\sigma_{s t}(v)}{\sigma_{s t}}: \forall(s, t) \in S,$ where $\sigma_{s t}:=\sum_{(s, t) \in S} \sum_{e \in(s, t)} w(e)$
and $\sigma_{s t}(v)$
is a sum of only those shortest paths in $S$ which contain $v .$ We say that $(s, t) \in S$ **is a path with preferable liquidity if it ends with**
$v$ `in essence,` $t=v$
So that we may compute the approximate list of *preferable assets*, we highlight two distinct properties that are both necessary and sufficient.
In order to capture a desired hyper-manifold liquidity property of an always preferable asset, $G,$ , we identify such asset not only as a preferable "exit" (that is to say, the position can be unwound within a resonable amount of blocks without materially affecting price of the asset) $vertex$, but also as the one that can be consequently traded for any other liquid asset in $G$ at the most best settlement price.

Let $S \subset V \times V$ contain all shortest paths from vertex $s$ to vertex $t: \forall s, t \in V$ Also let vertex $v \in V$ have the maximal $^{82}$ betweenness centrality measure $C_{B}(v):=\sum_{s \neq t \neq v \in V} \frac{\sigma_{s t}(v)}{\sigma_{s t}}: \forall(s, t) \in S,$ where $\sigma_{s t}:=\sum_{(s, t) \in S} \sum_{e \in(s, t)} w(e)$
and $\sigma_{s t}(v)$ is a sum of only those shortest paths in $S$ which contain $v .$
We say that $(s, t) \in S$ is a path with **preferable liquidity** if it ends with $v,$ i.e. $t=v$
In order to capture a desired liquidity perference curve ("hyper manifold") property of an always preferable asset in an
"ALT"-system $G,$ we must first identify such asset. Such an asset must exhibit the properties of not only having *genuine* liquidity (that is to say, "a preferable "exit" $(\operatorname{sink})$ vertex"), but also as the one that can be consequently traded for any other liquid asset in $G$ at the most attractive price.
### Flash Loan led path-finding
A "liquid"$^[3]$ vertex $v \in V\left(G^{\prime}\right)$ of a complete liquid subgraph $G^{\prime} \subseteq G$ is called a *hyper*-liquid vertex when any preferable liquidity path
<!--
\label{preferable liquidity path}
-->
$p=(s, v)$
can be almost surely continued with an efficient trade for any other liquid $u \in V\left(G^{\prime}\right), u \neq v$ in such a way that $\sum_{e \in(s, u)} w(e) \leq \sum_{e \in(s, v)} w(e)+\sum_{e \in(v, u)} w(e)$ and $(s, u)$ is
a shortest path.

$^[1]$ Contracts meaning *Smart Contracts*
$^[3]$ Pockets of Liquidity is a well known microstructure in markets. Further research in the microstructrual differences between AMM's and traditional settlement procedures (e.g. LMM, FIFO, etc) must be pursued.
